Few of us are lucky enough to be born with perfect smiles. The good news is that thanks to modern orthodontic treatment, our Toluca Lake cosmetic dentists can improve your dental alignment so that your smile looks great and functions in a healthy way. Today, we’re reviewing some of the goals that we can achieve using orthodontic treatment.
Close gaps between teeth: if you have some uneven spaces between your teeth, we can use orthodontic care to incrementally move these teeth closer together. This can greatly improve the overall aesthetic of your smile, and it can help your bite alignment.
Straighten crooked teeth: crooked and crowded teeth are likewise problematic for a number of patients. Many people don’t like the way that crowded teeth look, and a crowded smile can actually negatively impact your oral health. It is difficult to effectively clean between crowded teeth, and thus these spaces become hotbeds for plaque and tartar accumulation. As our dentists straighten these teeth, you’ll notice visual as well as functional improvements.
Address bite problems: crossbites, underbites, and overbites can all make it tough to speak and chew naturally. Additionally, bite dysfunction leads to uneven and premature dental wear and tear. When bite issues are left unaddressed, they increase your risk of developing dental damage. Using orthodontic treatment, our team can improve your bite alignment and ensure that your top and bottom teeth come together in a way that is comfortable and healthy.
Our office offers state-of-the-art Invisalign treatment to help people perfect their smiles without disrupting their lives. Invisalign straightens teeth using clear plastic aligners, which allows the natural dental enamel to shine through during the treatment process.
