WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR
ORTHODONTIC CARE?

Everyone deserves to
look beautiful. Facial imbalances have a dramatic effect on ones
personality and thus general happiness. To say that there is no
use trying to achieve a better result due to a certain facial type
or discrepancy is not acceptable. We should always strive to make
every effort to achieve the best possible result.
Orthodontic treatment
options can be divided into three categories. The first involves
treatment during the time era of deciduous (baby) teeth to late-mixed
dentition (baby teeth mixed with permanent teeth). The child at
this stage has maximum available growth that can be manipulated
through orthodontics. It is at this stage that we are able to abate
habits, correct cross bites and deep bites, retract protruded teeth
and improve ones' general facial appearance. The second category
would involve treatment during the time era of latemixed dentition
to early permanent dentition when the child is still growing. At
this time there is substantial available growth that can be manipulated
through treatment. Skeletal components can still be guided into
a balanced relationship and the alignment of permanent teeth can
be achieved. The last category would involve treatment during the
era of permanent dentition when there is no available growth to
manipulate because the child or adult is no longer growing. It is
at this stage where full or limited treatment can be accomplished
through orthodontics depending on the condition of the dentition.
There may be situations where jaw discrepancies could require both
surgical and orthodontical treatment combined to correct the dentition.
As esthetic dentists we
believe that your smile is one of the most important features a
person has. This also happens to be the view of the majority of
the population. A beautiful smile without question will increase
your self-image and self-esteem. Dentistry has advanced dramatically
in the past few years. Many scenarios that may not have been favourable
for correction in the past may well be worth your while seeking
treatment for today. Allow yourself to get that beautiful smile
you know you deserve.
WE OFFER:
INVISALIGN INVISIBLE BRACES!
For many years, braces
were your only option to correct tooth malocclusion. However, with
the introduction of invisalign, there is a new way to straighten
your teeth without braces. Whether or not you have had orthodontic
treatment in the past and have experienced relapse since then or
have never had orthodontic treatment, invisalign could be the right
treatment for you!
Invisalign is a revolutionary
advancement in aesthetic orthodontics. The process involves a series
of thin, clear overlay polycarbonate appliances (aligners) custom-
manufactured for you. These aligners are nearly undetectable thus
making it very difficult for people to determine if you are wearing
them. Since there are no wires and brackets, invisalign is comfortable.
Because its removable, eating, brushing and flossing are no problem.
Treatment time will vary depending on the amount of correction required.
Malocclusions are
treated through a series of small, discrete movements dependent
on the diagnosis and treatment plan. This new process is based on
proprietary 3D computer graphics technology. Invisalign is ideal
for mild to moderate crowding and space closure and can also be
used for arch expansion, anterior/posterior (front to back) correction,
and crossbite correction.
Treatment is easy.
Patients wear an "invisible" aligner that they change every two
weeks over the lengh of the treatment. Week by week, millimeter
by millimeter your teeth gradually move until you've achieved the
intended result of straighter teeth. This aligner would be worn
at all times except when eating, drinking hot fluids and when brushing/flossing
your teeth. It is ideal for adults who would otherwise never consider
braces.
