What Does Teeth Straightening Involve?

Teeth straightening involves correcting bite issues and misaligned teeth to improve your overall dental health and the aesthetic appeal of your smile. We offer two methods for straightening your smile. Each uses gentle force to move teeth into the proper alignment over time. Whether we're using braces to guide the alignment of a young person's smile or Invisalign to treat minor misalignment issues, our team has the skill and experience to get your desired results.

Our Teeth Straightening Options

We offer a selection of reliable teeth straightening solutions tailored to your needs. Our services include:

  • Phase I & Phase II Treatments for Children
  • Invisalign® for Teens and Adults
  • Traditional Braces

During your initial visit, we'll take digital impressions and provide a thorough examination to guide our treatment recommendations. We're also pleased to help you with retreatments if your previous orthodontic results have relapsed. Our dentist can discuss handling your retreatment needs at your initial appointment.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an approach to teeth straightening that employs a series of clear, custom-made aligners tailored to fit your unique dental structure. The aligners are very low-profile, allowing you to go about your daily activities with confidence. One of the standout benefits is the flexibility it offers. The aligners are removable, making eating and performing your daily hygiene routine easy.

Designed for responsible teens and adults, Invisalign is ideal for correcting mild to moderate alignment issues. By progressing through a sequence of teeth aligner trays, your teeth gradually move into their optimal position, enhancing your smile's functionality and aesthetic appeal. Invisalign clear aligners are also very convenient for people with busy schedules as they often require very few trips to the dentist after you've been fitted for them.

Orthodontics for Improved Oral Health

We know that a straighter smile is a healthier smile. While orthodontic treatments can provide a major boost for self-confidence, they also help relieve a number of oral health issues. Crowded or overlapping teeth can make brushing and flossing difficult, leading to decay and potential problems with your gum health. Furthermore, misaligned teeth can contribute to painful jaw conditions like TMD and uneven wear on your teeth. We work to thoroughly diagnose and treat alignment issues that may affect your oral health.

What Are Phase I and Phase II Orthodontics?

Phase I orthodontics typically occurs at an earlier age, between six and ten, and aims to correct issues that are easier to address while the jaw is still growing. This can include spacing issues or bite problems that could become more complex if left untreated. Phase II usually occurs during the early teenage years and focuses on fine-tuning the alignment and bite relationships after adult teeth emerge. This two-step approach is designed for more effective and efficient treatment, paving the way for a lifetime of beautiful smiles.

Invisalign & Braces FAQs

We understand that choosing a dental practice for your orthodontic needs is a significant decision that impacts your well-being and confidence. At Optimal Dental Care, we're committed to making you feel secure about your treatments every step of the way. Some of the frequently asked questions we receive include:

Can I eat and drink while wearing Invisalign aligners?

No, we recommend removing your Invisalign aligners while eating and drinking anything other than water. The aligners could be damaged or stained by food and beverages. Fortunately, they are easy to remove and store while you enjoy your favorite foods and drinks.

Both treatments we offer require gum disease to be under control before we can begin straightening your teeth. Our practice offers excellent gum disease treatments to help get your gum health on the right track before providing orthodontic services.

While some patients report minor discomfort or soreness, it will usually go away quickly. This discomfort generally occurs right after we've tightened your braces or when you start wearing a new set of aligner trays.
