Understanding Orthodontics.

Orthodontics is a distinct area of dentistry that aims to identify, prevent, and correct issues related to misaligned teeth and jaws. Through orthodontic treatments, we enhance not only the aesthetics but also the functionality of your smile, addressing concerns such as overcrowded teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and spaces. Well-aligned teeth lead to improved oral health, simpler hygiene routines, and enhanced overall wellness.

Braces and Orthodontic Solutions

We offer a range of orthodontic options tailored to your individual requirements. Our treatments include: Traditional Metal Braces – Sturdy and effective for addressing complex alignment problems. Ceramic Braces – More discreet than metal braces while still delivering outstanding results. Clear Aligners (Invisalign® & Other Brands) – Nearly invisible and removable for your convenience. Lingual Braces – Positioned behind the teeth, offering a subtle treatment alternative. Early Orthodontic Intervention – Targeted treatments for children to mitigate alignment issues before they worsen. Our team will assess your specific situation and propose the most suitable orthodontic solution for achieving the best outcomes.

You could find orthodontic treatment useful if you're facing any of these concerns: • Teeth that are crooked, crowded, or not aligned correctly • Spaces between your teeth • Trouble biting or chewing your food effectively • Discomfort or pain in your jaw • Speech issues attributed to tooth alignment • Regularly biting your cheeks or tongue • Teeth that do not align properly when you bite If you experience any of these problems, don’t hesitate to book a consultation with our orthodontic specialists to explore the best treatment options for you.

What Steps Are Involved in Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic care generally involves the following stages: 1. Initial Consultation – A thorough assessment is conducted, featuring digital X-rays and impressions to identify the most suitable treatment approach. 2. Personalized Treatment Plan – We create a tailored plan based on your specific needs and inform you about your choices. 3. Appliance Placement – Braces or aligners are fitted and calibrated to start aligning your teeth correctly. 4. Regular Adjustments – Consistent follow-up visits and adjustments ensure ongoing progress and the best outcomes. 5. Retention Phase – Post-treatment, a retainer is given to help preserve your newly achieved smile.

What Advantages Does Orthodontic Care Offer?

Enhanced Smile Aesthetics – Increases confidence and improves overall look. Better Oral Hygiene – Straight teeth are simpler to clean, lowering the chances of cavities and gum issues. Improved Bite Efficiency – Facilitates easier chewing and clearer speech. Avoidance of Future Dental Problems – Addresses alignment concerns to prevent serious complications down the road. Investment in Lasting Beauty – Offers enduring advantages with appropriate care and upkeep.

Caring for My Braces: What to Do

Taking proper care of your braces is crucial for achieving the best possible results. Be diligent in brushing and flossing around the brackets and wires to prevent plaque accumulation and ensure the health of your teeth and gums. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy snacks that could harm your braces and extend your treatment duration. If your orthodontic plan includes add-ons like rubber bands, make sure to use them as directed to stay on track with your treatment. Attend all scheduled appointments so we can make vital adjustments and assess your progress. If you participate in sports, always wear a mouthguard to protect your braces and teeth from any potential harm. For those with clear aligners, please adhere to the specific care instructions provided by our team. Wear your aligners for the recommended number of hours each day and ensure you clean them properly to support effective treatment and maintain their clarity.

"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
