How Do I Know If I Need Orthodontic Treatment?

If your smile is a bit out of line, orthodontic treatment might be an option you should consider. You might be surprised to learn that braces and Invisalign aren’t just for teens and kids anymore.

Adults often can benefit from orthodontic treatment as much as kids. Here’s how you can tell if you need orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic Treatment Gives You More Than a Pretty Smile

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that uses braces or newer types of technology, such as invisible aligners, to straighten misaligned teeth. What you might not know is that orthodontics helps you in so many ways besides giving you a Hollywood-worthy smile.

The way your teeth fit together affects the way you chew, speak, and even breathe. All those factors affect your overall health.

Additionally, the kind of jaw tension that comes from trying to eat and speak with misaligned teeth can cause you to feel out of sorts. You might even have difficulty sleeping, causing you to feel groggy during your workday.

No Longer as Expensive or Time-Consuming as Before

Years ago, you could probably buy a decent car for the cost of a set of braces. With today’s dental technology, though, the Integrity Dental team can design an orthodontic treatment plan that fits your budget – and your schedule.

With interest-free payment plans, there is no need for you to suffer needlessly from the discomfort of misaligned teeth. We offer a variety of treatment choices, one of which should be perfect for you:

• Conventional braces: A system of archwires attached to brackets gradually and gently moves your teeth into perfect alignment. From time to time, you’ll need to come to the office to have your wires adjusted. Porcelain brackets are available, giving your smile a more natural appearance as you undergo treatment.
• Invisalign: Invisalign uses clear, custom-fitted plastic ‘trays’ that fit over your teeth. Computer models provide you with a blueprint for your new smile. Throughout your treatment, you’ll receive new trays that take your teeth on a journey to beauty and better health.
• CFast Rapid Braces: If only your front teeth are misaligned, this gentle, affordable treatment can give you a better smile in no time. Minimally invasive yet delivering maximum aligning power, this treatment is a great choice for qualified patients.
