Orthodontic Dentistry At Smile Dental Clinic, our goal is to prevent dental problems before they occur. Unfortunately, this is not always possible due to poor oral hygiene, genetics, infrequent checkups, and other risk factors. This is why we also specialize in restorative dentistry. Our restorative services are designed to improve the function and aesthetics of your smile, as well as your overall oral health.Early Childhood TreatmentIt is never too early to take your child to the dentist to get an early orthodontic assessment. Irregularities in tooth development can have severe consequences down the line, so it is better to solve these issues as early as possible to prevent future problems. Crowded teeth, protruding teeth, and too much space between teeth can cause issues with facial growth and jaw development. If you want to avoid furture orthodontic issues, it is wise to tackle these problems before they become severe. Adult Treatment OrthodonticsChances are when you think of braces you think of teenagers, but did you know that one in three orthodontic patients are actually older than 18? At Smile Dental Clinic, we know that having the perfect smile is even more important for the professional adult than it is for teenagers. InvisalignCrooked teeth not only affect the aesthetics of your smile, but they can also be detrimental to your oral health. For instance, crowded teeth can be much more difficult to properly clean, leaving you at a greater risk for developing tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Luckily, people in need of orthodontic care have more options than ever before. We specialize in Invisalign® clear aligner treatment. Invisalign is designed for patients who want a discreet and effective alternative to traditional metal braces. Emergency Orthodontic CareNo patient should have to suffer through through pain or damage from their orthodontic hardware. At Smile Dental Clinic, we believe that each patient should get the priority care they need regardless of the circumstances. Habit Orthodontic AppliancesStraight teeth and a healthy bite are important for overall oral health and function. However, certain habits, such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and teeth grinding, can interfere with proper growth and development of the teeth and jaw. If left unchecked, these behaviors may lead to misalignment, bite problems, or premature wear of the teeth. Post Orthodontic CareOrthodontic treatment, including braces and clear aligners, is a significant investment of time and money. Once the treatment is complete, patients often feel relief and excitement to have a straighter smile. However, it is important to remember that post-orthodontic care is just as crucial as treatment. Here are some important steps to follow. Pre-Restoration OrthodonticsRestorative dentistry can create lasting, natural-looking smiles, but sometimes teeth and bite alignment need to be corrected before those restorations are placed. This is where pre-restoration orthodontics plays an essential role. By preparing the mouth with orthodontic treatment prior to crowns, bridges, implants, or veneers, Smile Dental Clinic can ensure the final results are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and stable. Aligning teeth, creating proper spacing, and correcting bite issues help restorations fit better and last longer. Pre-restoration orthodontics is a valuable step in comprehensive dental care that supports both oral health and long-term smile success. RetainersA retainer is a custom-fitted dental appliance that is over the teeth to maintain alignment. Its purpose is to maintain the corrected position of your teeth after orthodontic treatment. Retainers prevent your teeth from shifting back. They remind your teeth of their new position, as teeth can move even without your notice. Retainers are essential for the long-term success of your orthodontic treatment. They come in various types. Our dentist at Smile Dental Clinic will help you know the best retainer for you. Self Ligating BracesSelf-ligating braces are a modern type of orthodontic treatment designed to move teeth into their ideal positions more efficiently than traditional braces. Like conventional braces, they use brackets that are attached to each tooth and connected by a thin wire that applies gentle pressure to guide movement. However, what sets self-ligating braces apart is their innovative design. Traditional BracesBraces are one of the oldest and most reliable dental treatments. Different forms of braces have evolved over the years. Yet, the principle of how braces work has stayed the same, even though the technology behind braces has been vastly improved upon.
