What is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment involves the design, application, and control of corrective appliances, such as braces or clear aligners, to straighten teeth and align jaws. Misaligned teeth or jaws can affect not only the appearance of your smile but also oral function, leading to potential problems with chewing, speech, and maintaining oral hygiene. Properly aligned teeth can also reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and excessive wear on tooth surfaces

Types of Orthodontic Treatment We Offer

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are orthodontic appliances made of metal brackets, wires, and elastic bands. The brackets are securely bonded to the surface of each tooth and connected by a metal archwire that is periodically adjusted by your orthodontist. These adjustments apply gentle, controlled pressure to guide the teeth into their desired alignment over time. While modern alternatives like clear aligners are available, traditional braces remain popular due to their versatility, strength, and ability to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to gradually move your teeth into their proper position. These aligners are made from a patented, flexible plastic material that is designed to fit snugly over your teeth, providing a gentle and comfortable fit. Invisalign can treat a variety of issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The clear aligners are an excellent alternative to traditional metal braces, offering a more aesthetic option for straightening teeth without the discomfort and visibility of metal brackets and wires.
