Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
Orthodontics isn’t just for teenagers. At our dental clinic, we offer orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages because it’s never too late to improve your smile and oral health. While the aesthetic aspect is often highlighted, the primary goal of orthodontics is to correct various occlusal issues such as misalignment, crowding, overjet, and open bite.
In orthodontics, we use gentle forces applied to the teeth to correct their alignment. When these pressures are directed towards the bone bases, it falls under dentofacial orthopedics, an approach that helps correct improper jaw positions. This is crucial because a poorly positioned dentition can lead to difficulties in chewing, premature tooth wear, speech issues, muscle tension and pain, headaches or migraines, complicated dental hygiene, and an increased risk of developing cavities.
For young patients aged 7 to 12, our dental clinic uses orthodontic devices to intercept and correct dental malpositions as they arise. These devices play a crucial role in guiding the growth of the mouth, helping avoid more costly and lengthy interventions in the future. In some cases, interceptive orthodontic treatment can even eliminate the need for future jaw surgery.
The types of orthodontic devices vary depending on the issue being addressed. For adults, orthodontic solutions are also varied and may include more discreet and comfortable devices tailored to their lifestyle and aesthetic needs.
During a comprehensive orthodontic examination at our dental clinic, our dentist carefully assesses your situation to determine the most appropriate treatment. We consider not only the aesthetic aspect of your smile but also the impact of orthodontics on your overall oral health. Our goal is to ensure you achieve a straight, radiant, and healthy smile while improving your quality of life.
