Dr. Victoria Chen practices Orthodontics in Las Vegas, NV. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes metal wires that are inserted into orthodontic brackets, which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material. The wires interact with the brackets to move teeth into desired positions. Being advanced in the field, Dr. Chen may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patients? smile. As an orthodontist, Dr. Chen must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.

Do braces make your teeth worse at first?
Yes, sometimes the initial braces will widen your arch and make your teeth "spaced out" and look funny. It is the part of the process. Good news is you will look amazing upon finishing your orthodontic treatment. Hang in there! READ MORE
Using teeth whitening strips is causing a burning sensation. Is this normal?
Whitening strips should not cause a burning sensation if used correctly. Are the strips touching your gum tissue? If so, this is not advised and it can cause discomfort. Sensitive desensitizing toothpastes might help with some of the sensitivity you are experiencing. If this continues I would suggest seeing your general dentist for a follow up. READ MORE
