🦷 What Is Occlusion? 🦷

Your occlusion is how your teeth come together. Proper occlusion means your dental relations are ideal. Any deviation from this is called a malocclusion, where your upper and lower teeth don’t align correctly.

🌟 When considering braces vs. clear aligners, both have unique benefits! Braces, available in various models, including stainless steel and tooth-colored ceramic, are durable and effective for most orthodontic issues. They stay affixed to your teeth throughout treatment, ensuring consistent results. Clear aligners, on the other hand, are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions. They offer a discreet way to achieve a straight smile.

Consult our orthodontics team to find the best solution for your lifestyle and dental needs. Trust the experts to give you your best smile! 😁✨

🦷 Why Do We Prefer Early Orthodontic Visits for Kids? 🦷

Seeing kids at a young age allows us to use their natural growth for better orthodontic results. For example, if a child has a big overjet (upper teeth in front of lower teeth), we can guide the lower jaw to grow forward. With underbites, we use the growth period to fit the upper jaw forward.

Early intervention helps us shape the jaw properly and achieve better bite corrections. This is why we emphasize early orthodontic visits!

🦷 Wondering how a poorly functioning tongue impacts orthodontic treatment? 🦷

The tongue plays a crucial role in achieving and maintaining stable orthodontic results. A properly functioning tongue rests against the roof of the mouth and behind the upper front teeth during swallowing. Issues like tongue thrust, where the tongue pushes between or against teeth, can hinder treatment.

Correcting these abnormal patterns is essential. We often start with preliminary orthodontic treatment and then use appliances to retrain the tongue. If needed, we refer patients to functional therapists or speech pathologists.

Learn more about how we address tongue function for better orthodontic outcomes.

🦷 Struggling with breathing issues? 🦷

Discover how orthodontics can help! We start by examining your nasal cavity and the size of your nasopharynx and tonsils. Airway blockages can cause a low tongue position, leading to mouth breathing and a narrow upper jaw. This narrowing can reduce the width of your nasal cavity, making breathing even harder. Orthodontic treatment can correct the low tongue position and widen the upper jaw, improving nasal airflow and overall breathing.

Combining orthodontics with surgery, if needed, provides the best outcome. Learn more and schedule a free consultation today! 🌟

🦷 How Does Orthodontics Work? 🦷

It all starts with creating space for your teeth, often through expansion. This step ensures there's enough room for braces or Invisalign to straighten your smile effectively. For adults, the process might differ slightly, but the goal remains the same. Finally, we ensure your upper and lower jaws align perfectly for a functional and beautiful smile.
