More Than Just a Beautiful Smile

What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Achieve Proper Tooth Alignment

Correct Bite Issues

Improve Oral Hygiene Access

Reduce Risk of Tooth Wear

Alleviate Jaw Pain and Headaches

Enhance Smile Aesthetics

Orthodontic treatment uses controlled forces to gradually move teeth into proper alignment, correcting issues like crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. While many people seek orthodontic care for aesthetic improvements, the benefits extend far beyond appearance.

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of decay and gum disease. A corrected bite improves chewing function, reduces abnormal wear on tooth surfaces, and can alleviate jaw pain and headaches associated with TMJ disorders. For many patients, orthodontic treatment delivers both the confidence of a beautiful smile and the lasting benefits of improved dental health.

Invisalign

Straighten your teeth discreetly with the Invisalign clear aligner system. These custom-made transparent trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Invisalign aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, virtually invisible when worn, and typically require fewer office visits than traditional braces. The system is ideal for treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues in teens and adults.

Common Questions About Orthodontics

Treatment duration varies based on the complexity of your case and the type of orthodontics chosen. Typical treatment times range from 6-18 months for mild to moderate cases with clear aligners, and 18-24 months for more complex cases with traditional braces. During your consultation, we'll provide a personalized estimate based on your specific needs and chosen treatment method.

Clear aligners are highly effective for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and minor bite corrections. For more complex cases involving significant bite issues, severe crowding, or major tooth rotations, traditional braces may offer more predictable results. During your consultation, we'll recommend the approach best suited to your specific orthodontic needs.

Whether you choose clear aligners or traditional braces, you may experience temporary discomfort when you first begin treatment and after adjustments. This typically lasts just a few days and is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients describe it as pressure rather than pain, and it's a sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

Absolutely not! A significant percentage of orthodontic patients are adults. With today's discreet options like clear aligners, more adults than ever are choosing to improve their smiles. As long as your gums and bone structure are healthy, age is not a limiting factor for orthodontic treatment. We have successfully treated patients in their 60s and beyond.
