Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to align teeth, improve bite functionality, and enhance overall oral health. Common orthodontic issues include overcrowded or crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth.

We offer clear aligner orthodontic treatment. With clear aligners, you don’t have to you have metal wires and brackets bonded to your teeth, and can clean your teeth normally. Clear aligners are a series of trays that you wear to move the teeth. Each tray is worn for 10 days to 3 weeks, before moving up to the next tray. They are esthetic and move teeth efficiently while allowing you easily keep your teeth clean without having to worry about getting food stuck in your braces.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits, including:

Improved Oral Health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Correctly aligned teeth improve your smile and boost self-confidence.
Better Functionality: Proper alignment of teeth improves biting, chewing, and speaking.
Prevention of Dental Problems: Addressing misaligned teeth early can prevent more serious dental issues later in life.
