WE ACCEPT DENTI-CAL
Orthodontics is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. There are various types of orthodontic treatments available to help straighten teeth and improve the overall alignment of your bite. At Maywood Children and Family Dentistry in Maywood, CA, we offer a wide range of orthodontic treatments to meet the unique needs of our patients.
Traditional Braces: Traditional braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment. They consist of metal brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth to gradually move them into the desired position. These braces are highly effective in correcting a wide range of dental issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and overbites.
Clear Braces: Clear braces are an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces. They work in the same way as traditional braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires that are less noticeable. Clear braces are an excellent option for patients who are concerned about the appearance of metal braces.
Headgear: Headgear is an orthodontic appliance that attaches to braces and is worn outside the mouth. It is designed to correct more severe dental issues, such as overbites or underbites. The headgear applies pressure to the teeth and jawbone, gradually moving them into the correct position.
Retainers: Retainers are a crucial part of orthodontic treatment, used to keep teeth in their correct position once braces are removed. They are custom-made to fit the patient's teeth and are typically worn for a specified period of time. Retainers are essential for preventing teeth from shifting back to their original position after orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces. It uses clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient and are virtually invisible, making them an excellent option for adults and teenagers who want to improve the alignment of their teeth without the use of metal braces.
At Maywood Children and Family Dentistry, we offer Invisalign as part of our orthodontic treatment options. The process begins with a consultation to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for your needs. If it is, we will take impressions of your teeth and create a custom treatment plan. You will then receive a series of aligners that you will wear for a specified amount of time. You will switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks until your treatment is complete.
There are many benefits to orthodontic treatment, including improved oral health, better self-esteem, and a more attractive smile. Orthodontic treatment can also help prevent more serious dental problems down the line, such as gum disease and tooth decay.
