Why Do I Need Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized area of dentistry that’s focused on tooth movement, with the purpose of preventing and correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. You might need orthodontic treatment if you have crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth, or if you experience problems such as an overbite, underbite, or even jaw discomfort.
Beyond creating a straighter and more confident smile, though, orthodontics also plays an important role in your overall oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easiest to clean, which reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease. Plus, a balanced bite can help to reduce wear and tear on the teeth and limits the amount of strain on the jaw joints and muscles. It can even ensure that the airway is unrestricted, which ends up helping patients with certain sleeping disorders such as sleep apnea.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
Clear aligners like SureSmile have surged in popularity over the last few years, and patients tend to love this form of orthodontic treatment due to its comfort and convenience. Plus, not only are the aligners removable and comfortable to wear, but they’re nearly invisible while being worn! Made from a special, smooth plastic, these aligners are worn over the teeth for 22 hours each day, only removed for meals and oral hygiene. They do the same job as braces and apply gradual pressure to the teeth to shift them.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces have been around for quite some time, and there’s a good reason they continue to be used to help patients—they work incredibly well! Plus, modern braces are now more comfortable and more effective than ever before. At our office, we can put together a customized orthodontic treatment plan capable of addressing a wide range of issues, from crooked and misaligned teeth to complex bite problems.
