Merna Tajaddod Orthodontics customizes every patient with a unique treatment plan to achieve ideal teeth alignment and occlusion. This young 8 year old patient started with Phase I, Dentofacial Orthopedics, a Non-Extraction treatment plan. We started the case with a custom made palatal expander and after a majority of the permanent teeth erupted, Phase II orthodontic treatment was completed with Invisalign aligners.

If your child is experiencing crowding or bite concerns, we invite you to make a complimentary orthodontic consultation with Dr.Tajaddod who has extensive experience in Early Orthodontic treatment and Non Extraction Orthodontics. We want you to “emBrace” your smile and allow us the privilege of transforming your smile!

The type of braces that will work best for each person depends on their dental concern, the age of the person, the budget, and other factors. Braces can be made specifically for children, teens, or adults. Aside from giving you the unblemished smile you want, braces offer numerous other benefits.

✨ Braces can help promote oral health. Crooked teeth make it easy for food to get stuck in crevices that you have trouble reaching with a toothbrush or while flossing.

✨ Braces can also promote better digestion. They help fix gaps between teeth, making chewing more efficient.

✨ They can also improve speech. The way your tongue moves against your teeth can have an impact on the way you speak, so having crooked or uneven teeth can be a problem.

Overall, while there may be some temporary discomfort or soreness associated with getting and wearing braces, the benefits of orthodontic treatment can far outweigh any initial discomfort.

Schedule your complimentary consultation today and ask Dr. Tajaddod whether braces or Invisalign is the best choice for you!

Initial Condition: Prior to treatment, when the patient's mouth was closed only one tooth was biting in the second molar region. 😮
