Orthodontics (Braces or aligners)
Orthodontic treatment is mostly correction of abnormal alignment of the teeth such as:
Overcrowding: A situation in which the jaw is too small for the teeth, causing them to overlap and appear crowded.
Overjet: An overjet refers to the horizontal relationship of the upper and lower front teeth in which the upper front teeth are too flared out.
Overbites (deep bite): When your top teeth cover too much of the bottom teeth.
Underbites: An alignment issue in which the bottom front teeth extend outward farther than the upper front teeth.
Open Bites: When the top and bottom teeth do not meet either in the front or the back.
Crossbites: The alignment of the teeth are in a way that the upper teeth sit to the inside of the lower teeth
Gaps and spaces between the teeth
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is an alternative orthodontic treatment, which is removable and does not require wires and brackets. Once a model of your mouth is created, it will be scanned and a computer assisted program will design and manufactures a series of customized clear aligners to gradually move your teeth to an ideal position and your dentist places tooth-colored tabs (which will be removed at the end of treatment) on your teeth to engage the aligner trays.
Patient is wearing an invisible clear aligner.
