What is orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment can make for a healthier mouth, a better looking smile, and a lower risk of dental disease like periodontal disease and tooth decay. All of this is done with correcting misalignments of the teeth and jaw.
Dental Braces. There are a few types of braces that slowly move your teeth into the correct position. These include clear, invisible, gold and traditional metal. How much time it takes depending on the severity of the misalignment and how early you get started. Braces aren’t just for kids; All ages can benefit from braces!
Invisalign Treatment. Sorry kids, Invisalign is only for adults and teens. Like braces, clear aligners are used to slowly move your teeth into a better alignment. Unlike braces, they are considered more comfortable and are virtually invisible!
Retainers. Now that your teeth are where they should be and your braces are removed, a dental appliance is used to keep the progress you’ve made on aligning your teeth. An orthodontist creates a custom-made retainer that is worn, fixed or removable, to keep your teeth aligned.
