Orthodontics is a branch of dental care that is focused on the alignment of the teeth and bite. When these two things are not aligned correctly, it can cause a huge range of oral health concerns. Here at Dental Care of Plano, we work with patients of all ages from infancy through adulthood to ensure that teeth are properly aligned and healthy.
Why Orthodontics?
When teeth or the bite is not aligned correctly, it can cause:
- Difficulty eating
- Difficulty speaking correctly
- Higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease
- Higher risk of chipped or broken teeth
- Damage to the soft tissue of the cheeks or tongue
Choosing to have crooked teeth or a misaligned bite adjusted also boosts confidence, letting a person smile widely and for all to see.
Orthodontic Treatments – Metal and Clear Braces
Our orthodontic services include many procedures. The two most popular are metal braces and clear braces. Through either of these treatments, a patient can achieve a beautifully straight, healthy smile.
For cases of mildly crooked teeth, clear braces are often a great choice. They are totally invisible and work to correct misaligned teeth very quickly. For cases where the issue is the bite, or where teeth are severely misaligned, traditional metal braces are typically better. However, there are other ways that we can help you feel comfortable wearing braces, no matter which option is necessary.
Learn More About Our Orthodontic Services
Not everyone is a good candidate for certain orthodontic treatments. And for some younger patients, orthodontics may actually include preventative measures to stop crooked growth in the first place. Because this field of dental care is very subjective, the best way to learn more is to contact our office at Dental Care of Plano for a consultation. We can help you understand what treatments are best for you, and help you achieve your perfect smile.
