Why you may need orthodontic care
Correcting the alignment of your teeth and jaw can significantly boost your self-esteem while also preventing future dental issues. Our specialists in CA & AZ commonly treat:
- Crowded or Gapped Teeth: Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, which can lead to tooth decay or gum disease over time.
- Bite Alignment: Issues like overbites, underbites, or crossbites can cause uneven wear on your teeth and lead to jaw pain.
- Pediatric Development: We address specific issues in children such as protruding teeth, difficulty chewing, and thumb-sucking habits that may affect jaw growth.
- Improved Function: Properly aligned teeth make it easier to speak clearly and maintain a healthy smile for years to come.
What to expect with orthodontic treatment
Getting a straighter smile is a straightforward process and typically includes:
- 1. Planning Your treatment starts with a free exam. A board-eligible orthodontist will review your dental history and perform a full clinical evaluation. We’ll take X-rays and photos of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan.
- 2. Active Treatment: This is when your braces or aligners are placed. You will visit us periodically for adjustments to ensure your teeth are moving correctly and comfortably toward their new positions.
- 3. Retention: Once your teeth are straight, we provide a custom retainer. This prevents your teeth from shifting back to ensure your new smile stays perfectly in place.
