Orthodontics by the Best Dentist in Redlands, CA

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that concentrates on the diagnosis and treatment of tooth misalignment and jaw asymmetry. For a long time, orthodontic treatments were mostly targeted towards teens and pre-teens; nowadays, however, a large and growing percentage of orthodontic patients are adults.
Having well-aligned teeth brings multiple benefits, including effortless cleaning, better oral hygiene, clearer speech, and a lovelier smile. Redlands, CA dentist, Dr. Steve Tatevossian, offers orthodontic treatment to patients of King House Dental.

Problems Addressed

Orthodontics encompasses oral, maxillofacial, and cosmetic dentistry.
These are some of the specific conditions that orthodontics deals with:

Anteroposterior Deviations
This is the disparity between the position of a patient’s closed jaws. Orthodontics can correct an overbite (upper teeth overlap the lower teeth) and its opposite, the underbite. Correcting jaw alignment is important because over or underbite deviations can create serious health problems.
Overcrowding
This is when permanent teeth are crooked or overlap each other. Orthodontics offers different solutions to straighten and realign teeth.
Aesthetic Problems
Orthodontics can improve the alignment and positioning of teeth so each one of them contributes to a dazzling smile. This realignment then contributes to the reshaping and restructuring of a more aesthetic jawline, lip positioning, and facial symmetry.

Orthodontics Solutions

Orthodontics is a dental specialty field that implements new technological advances to correct common dental problems such as overcrowding, over or underbite as well as cosmetic problems. Your orthodontist solves these problems by performing a visual examination, full mouth X-rays, and bite impressions to straighten, realign and reposition your teeth into the smile of your dreams.
Once a diagnosis is determined, the patient will have access to multiple options for orthodontic treatment.
Some of the most common options include:

Fixed Orthodontic Braces

Your orthodontist will attach a metal or ceramic bracket to each tooth with a dental wire running through each bracket. Then he will adjust the wire to gradually move and straighten the teeth to their ideal position removing the brackets and wire once you have achieved a gorgeous and beautiful smile.

Removable Appliances

Orthodontists use a variety of removable appliances such as headgear, Hawley retainers, and facemasks, among others, to correct over/under bites and to improve teeth positioning even as jawbone reforms.

Invisalign®

This is the new generation of dental aligners. They are made of transparent plastic and since they are removable, patients can take them off for eating and brushing after meals. Invisalign braces can adjust teeth positioning in a similar way metal traditional braces do, but not all patients are candidates for them. You can schedule a consultation to quickly find out if you qualify.
