How Do Orthodontics Work?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that corrects irregularities in our mouths. This can include abnormalities in teeth, necessary adjustments with the jaw, or use preventative methods that lowers risks to your dental care.

As you can imagine, orthodontic treatments come in many different forms to address such a broad range of oral health concerns. Thanks to our office being equipped with some of the most advanced dental technology available like digital X-rays and 3D imaging tools, we can pinpoint any orthodontic issues you may be experiencing and get you the treatment you need.

Do I Need Orthodontic Care?

Not only are our mouths an extremely complex network of hard and soft tissue, they also go through drastic changes throughout our lives. For example, most of us lose all of our primary teeth (baby teeth) around the age of seven. Our mouths are developed enough by age 18 to begin seeing a general dentist instead of a pediatric dentist. However, our final set of molars (wisdom teeth) can emerge as late as 24 years old.

That’s a lot of changes. And each of these changes can create a complication for your dental care. Thankfully, that is where orthodontics come in and resolve any of these complications. You may want to consider orthodontic treatment if any of the following apply to you:

Bite Issues

Underbites, overbites, and even crossbites can be corrected with orthodontics.

Diastemas

Commonly called gapped teeth, this condition occurs when there are uneven or wide spaces between teeth which can increase your risk of gum disease or periodontal infections.

Dental Crowding

Often seen as the opposite of diastemas, dental crowding occurs when there isn’t enough space along your gums for teeth to properly emerge.

MALOCCLUSION

An umbrella term for several different problems affecting your teeth or bite. Crooked teeth are among the most common of these problems.

The Orthodontic Treatments We Offer

Invisalign Aligners

For those seeking a discreet and convenient way to straighten their teeth, Invisalign offers a comfortable alternative to traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into place without the need for metal brackets or wires.

Retainers

After getting straighter teeth and a healthier bite, it is important to maintain your new smile. That is where our retainers come in handy by protecting your teeth and stabilizing your bite.
