Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Our Specialist Orthodontist utilizes various treatment options such as metal and ceramic braces and Invisalign to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.
At The Dome MedDental Center, we see many patients every day who are looking to straighten their teeth to enhance their smiles. But did you know that aligning your teeth means you’re getting more than just an aesthetic transformation? Straight teeth lead to better oral function, which means you can bite and chew normally without any discomfort. Properly aligned teeth are also easier to clean, lowering your risk of gum disease.
Early orthodontic evaluation is crucial for your child's oral health. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a checkup by age 7. This allows orthodontists to detect potential issues with jaw growth, tooth development, and bite even before all permanent teeth come in.
Early intervention can prevent the need for more extensive treatment later, potentially reducing time and cost. It can also guide jaw growth and avoid future extractions. Even if no immediate treatment is needed, the orthodontist can monitor your child's development and recommend the best time to begin when necessary.
Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment that utilizes clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends scheduling your child's first orthodontic evaluation around the age of seven. While this doesn't necessarily mean immediate treatment, it allows the orthodontist to assess your child's jaw and teeth development, identify potential issues early on, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed.
Every person is unique. Early orthodontic evaluation is essential for ensuring optimal oral health and a beautiful smile.
