Empowering Your Dental Health
We Specialize in Aligners & Braces.
Aligners and braces are orthodontic treatments designed to correct misaligned teeth, improve bite issues, and enhance the aesthetics of your smile. These treatments not only boost confidence but also improve oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of dental problems.
What are Braces?
Braces are traditional orthodontic devices made of metal or ceramic brackets and wires that are fixed to the teeth. They apply gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into their correct positions over time.
- Metal Braces: Durable and effective, ideal for complex corrections.
- Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored braces for a more discreet appearance.
- Lingual Braces: Placed on the inside of teeth, hidden from view.
- Self-Ligating Braces: Use a specialized clip instead of elastic bands, reducing friction and speeding up treatment.
What are Aligners?
Aligners are clear, removable trays custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth. They are an alternative to braces for patients seeking a more discreet orthodontic treatment.
Popular Aligners:
- Invisalign: The most well-known brand offering nearly invisible trays.
- ClearCorrect: Another option for clear aligners with customizable treatments.
- At-Home Aligners: Options like SmileDirectClub, suitable for minor corrections.
- Braces: Brackets are bonded to teeth, and wires are adjusted periodically to guide teeth into alignment.
- Aligners: A series of custom-made trays are provided, each slightly different to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions.
- Corrects overcrowded, crooked, or spaced teeth.
- Improves bite issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
- Enhances overall oral health by improving bite alignment.
- Provides long-lasting results with proper aftercare.
- Consultation: Your dentist or orthodontist evaluates your teeth and bite.
- Treatment Plan: X-rays and molds are used to create a customized treatment plan.
- Fitting: Braces are applied or aligner trays are provided.
- Adjustments: Braces are tightened periodically, or new aligner trays are issued every 1-2 weeks.
- Retention: After treatment, a retainer is worn to maintain the results.
- For Braces:
- Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage brackets or wires.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and orthodontic flossers for cleaning.
- For Aligners:
- Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
- Clean aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner.
