Correct Your Smile With Modern Orthodontics
Orthodontics aren’t just for teens. Countless adults are pursuing this treatment because they never had a chance as a child or didn’t wear their retainers to keep their teeth in place. We help patients of all ages achieve the smile they’ve always wanted. At your consultation, Dr. Lee will take digital X-rays. This helps him determine the best orthodontic solution for you or your child.
We’ll take digital scans of your mouth to create your aligners. Depending on the extent of your alignment concerns, Dr. Lee may recommend clear aligners. For younger children who lose primary teeth early, space maintainers can preserve space so permanent teeth can erupt.
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a custom retainer to maintain your results. Dr. Lee will give you specific instructions on how long to wear this oral appliance following treatment. Over time, you will switch to nighttime use only. However, your retainer will need to be a permanent part of your oral care routine to keep your teeth properly aligned.
Many patients love getting cosmetic treatments once they’ve completed their orthodontics. It’s a great way to create that “wow” factor that boosts your appearance. You may consider:
- Professional teeth whitening to get rid of tooth stains
- Dental veneers or tooth bonding to correct minor flaws like chips or cracks
- Cosmetic gum surgery to give you a more attractive gumline
Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics
Which type of orthodontics is best?
Choosing the right orthodontic treatment for you depends on the severity of your bite problems, the position of your teeth, and what you want to accomplish overall. You would also want to think about the sort of sacrifices or lifestyle changes you are or are not willing to accept because every orthodontic treatment will require certain adjustments to your diet, your oral hygiene regimen, and your appearance.
