Understanding Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic treatments are dental procedures designed to correct the alignment and positioning of teeth, ensuring optimal oral health and aesthetics. These treatments involve the use of appliances, such as braces or aligners, to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Let's explore some of the most common orthodontic treatments offered at Align Beauty Orthodontics.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces have been a go-to orthodontic treatment for many years, and for good reason. They consist of metal brackets attached to the teeth, which are then connected by a wire. By applying gentle pressure, braces gradually guide teeth into their proper alignment. This method is highly effective for correcting various dental issues, including overcrowding, crooked teeth, and bite problems.

Invisalign

Clear aligners like Invisalign® have gained popularity in recent years due to their discreet and removable nature. These custom-made, transparent trays are designed to gradually move teeth into the desired positions. Clear aligners offer a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces, allowing patients to straighten their teeth with minimal visibility. They are a great option for individuals seeking a more inconspicuous orthodontic treatment.

Retainers

After completing orthodontic treatment, the use of retainers becomes crucial in maintaining the achieved results. Retainers help to stabilize teeth in their new positions, preventing them from shifting back. There are different types of retainers, including removable ones and fixed retainers bonded to the back of the teeth. Your orthodontist will recommend the most suitable retainer option based on your specific needs.

Assessing Orthodontic Needs

Dr. Jiafeng Gu and our dedicated team at Align Beauty Orthodontics understands that each patient is unique, with specific dental needs. Before recommending a particular orthodontic treatment, a comprehensive assessment will be conducted to determine the best course of action. This assessment may include the following steps:

Consultation and Examination

During your initial consultation, our orthodontist will discuss your concerns, evaluate your dental history, and conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw. This step allows us to understand your orthodontic needs better and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Digital Imaging

Advanced digital imaging techniques play a crucial role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. At Align Beauty Orthodontics we utilized iTero® Digital Imaging to provide a detailed view of the teeth and underlying bone structure. With this information, Dr. Gu can identify any potential issues and determine the most appropriate treatment options for you.

Treatment Planning

Based on the findings from the examination and diagnostic tests, our orthodontist will develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan will outline the recommended orthodontic treatment, estimated duration, and expected outcomes.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic treatments offer numerous benefits beyond achieving a beautiful, aligned smile. Let's explore some of the advantages that orthodontic care can bring to your oral health and overall well-being.

Enhanced Oral Health

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease. By undergoing orthodontic treatment, you can improve your oral hygiene and maintain a healthier mouth.

Improved Functionality

Orthodontic treatments not only address aesthetic concerns but also enhance the functionality of your bite. Correcting issues such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite can improve chewing efficiency and alleviate strain on the jaw joints.

Boosted Self-Confidence

Having a confident smile can significantly impact your self-esteem and overall confidence. Orthodontic treatments can help you achieve the smile you've always desired, allowing you to feel more self-assured in social and professional settings.
