Understanding Your Treatment

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating irregularities in the teeth and jaws. This includes correcting misaligned teeth, bite problems (malocclusion), and jaw misalignment. Orthodontic treatment, using appliances like braces or clear aligners, aims to improve both the appearance and function of your smile, making it easier to chew, speak, and maintain good oral hygiene.

Why It Matters

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Improved Confidence and Self-Esteem

A straight smile boosts self-esteem, making you more comfortable in social situations and improving your overall outlook.

Reduced Risk of TMJ Disorder

Proper alignment reduces abnormal jaw movements during chewing, minimizing the risk of developing TMJ disorder.

Better Oral Hygiene

Straight teeth are easier to clean, improving plaque control and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Reduced Enamel Wear

Proper alignment prevents excessive wear on tooth enamel, preserving your natural teeth and dental work. 1 in 3 orthodontic patients is over 18 years old.

Do I Need Orthodontic Treatment?

Some of the situations when your orthodontic provider recommends braces include: Crowding Crooked or rotated teeth Gaps between teeth Open bites, underbites, overbites, and crossbites Overall misalignment When teeth are properly aligned, they perform optimally. This reduces irregular wear patterns so that your teeth stay healthier, longer. In turn, it reduces strain on your TMJ and existing dental work. Best of all, properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, so they’re less likely to develop cavities and periodontal disease.

Common Orthodontic Treatments

Traditional Braces

Conventional bracket-and-wire braces are straightforward and effective, regardless of how simple or complex your orthodontic needs are. They can be used on patients of all ages and are extremely affordable

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Tooth-colored braces are similar to traditional orthodontics, but they’re more subtle as they blend in with your smile. Most people won’t be able to see them during casual conversations.

Invisalign (Clear Aligners )

Treatments like Invisalign or other clear aligner systems use removable, transparent trays to straighten your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics

Do I still need to see my dentist for checkups when I have braces?

Yes. It’s important to plan regular six-month checkups while you’re in braces. In fact, some people benefit from more frequent dental cleanings (every 3-4 months) because of the extra appliances that collect buildup throughout the day.

When should someone get orthodontic treatment?

Specialists recommend that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7 when they have a combination of both adult and baby teeth. Early intervention allows for corrections while the jaws are still developing, reducing the need for corrective surgery later on. However, adults and teens also make excellent orthodontic candidates in most cases.

What do orthodontists do?

Orthodontists are specialists when it comes to correcting malocclusion issues, tooth misalignment, and other orthognathic bite concerns. They offer a wide variety of orthodontic treatments ranging from traditional braces and clear aligners to interceptive growth modification.

What to Expect During Your Orthodontic Consultation

If you’re considering braces, your first encounter with an orthodontist will be a consultation and exam. During this visit, you’ll talk about your concerns, discuss your options, and ask questions about the orthodontic experience. In turn, our orthodontic provider will: Perform an exam Take photographs of your teeth and facial profile Take digital X-rays (including a panoramic or 3D CBCT scan) Scan or take impressions of your teeth From there, you’ll receive a treatment plan that reviews your options, the proposed type of orthodontic therapy, and the time and costs involved. If you decide to get braces, we may be able to place your appliances on the very same day.
