Orthodontics: More Than Just a Straighter Smile

Misaligned teeth can impact more than your confidence and self-esteem—they can also lead to discomfort, pain, and long-term dental health issues. Orthodontics is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on correcting the alignment of teeth and jaws using a variety of methods, with braces being one of the most well-known options.

While orthodontic treatment is often associated with cosmetic improvements, it can also address functional issues such as bite alignment and jaw development. With modern advancements in orthodontics, treatments are becoming more efficient and less noticeable than ever.

Our clinic offers orthodontic solutions for both children and adults, tailored to meet individual needs. By straightening teeth and improving bite relationships, orthodontic treatment not only enhances your smile but also sets the stage for long-term oral health.

In addition to traditional metal braces, we offer porcelain braces for patients seeking a more discreet option. Whether you’re looking to correct cosmetic concerns or resolve functional issues, our team is here to help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

Orthodontic Options

Addressing orthodontic issues early in a child’s life can make a significant difference in the complexity of treatment later on. Phase 1 orthodontics focuses on creating space for developing permanent teeth and guiding jaw growth to ensure a healthy bite. Additionally, we provide guidance to parents on breaking habits like thumb or finger sucking, which can impact dental development. By starting early, the need for traditional orthodontic treatment later may be greatly reduced or even eliminated.

Orthodontics

Traditional braces have been used to correct mild to severe orthodontic concerns for decades now, and they’re still a highly reliable system that benefits children and adults alike here at Royal Dental Care. The system is simple and effective – brackets are connected to orthodontic wires with elastics, which gradually exert pressure on teeth over a span of months or years. In addition to the silver metals we’re all familiar with, more image-conscious patients also have the option of choosing porcelain braces for a much subtler and more aesthetically pleasing treatment process.

Traditional Braces

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Through the Invisalign® system, many of our patients can enjoy effective orthodontic treatment without the need for traditional metallic braces. In the past, when faced with wearing metal braces, many people simply chose to live with their crooked teeth. Instead, through Invisalign® virtually invisible braces, these individuals can obtain straight teeth and health smiles. Adults considering orthodontic treatment many times wonder how metal braces might be perceived in the professional setting. With Invisalign®, most people will not even realize you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, unless, of course, you decide to tell them. The Invisalign® system uses a series of clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth. Each aligner is designed to apply the appropriate pressure necessary to move teeth into a more beneficial position. Each Invisalign® aligner is worn for about two weeks, and the overall treatment time is about the same as traditional metal braces. Aligners are worn 24 hours a day, except during meals. The revolutionary nature of Invisalign® has opened the door to high quality, effective orthodontic treatment for many.

Fastbraces®

For patients seeking quicker results, Fastbraces® provides a revolutionary alternative to traditional braces. By aligning both the root and crown of the tooth simultaneously, this system can deliver noticeable improvements in as little as three weeks, with most treatments completed within a year. Fastbraces® is an ideal solution for patients looking for efficient, reliable orthodontic care.

Six Month Smiles®

If your goal is to straighten the teeth most visible in your smile, Six Month Smiles® might be the perfect option. This system focuses exclusively on correcting prominent teeth, achieving dramatic results in an average of six months. With clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires, Six Month Smiles® combines efficiency and discretion for a confidence-boosting treatment experience.

AcceleDent® is a cutting-edge technology designed to speed up orthodontic treatment, whether you’re using traditional braces or clear aligners like Invisalign®.
