Understanding Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. Our treatment plans address issues such as teeth alignment, bite issues, and jaw relationships to create properly functioning mouths and aesthetically pleasing smiles. Beyond simply straightening teeth, comprehensive orthodontics address the underlying skeletal relationships and muscle functions that influence dental alignment, ensuring beautiful smiles that function properly for speaking, chewing, and long-term oral health maintenance.

Benefits of Orthodontics

Speech Improvement Through Proper Dental Alignment

Misaligned teeth and improper jaw positioning can significantly impact speech patterns, causing lisps, whistling sounds, or slurring when speaking. Orthodontics create proper spacing and alignment that allows for clearer pronunciation and articulation. For professionals who rely on verbal communication, orthodontics offers substantial value beyond the beautiful smiles that result from treatment.

Enhanced Facial Symmetry and Profile Aesthetics

When jaw alignment issues are corrected through advanced technology and individualized orthodontics, patients often experience improved facial symmetry and more harmonious proportions. The effects can include reduced prominence of an overbite or underbite, better lip support, and a more defined jawline.

Reduced Risk of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders

Certain orthodontic issues, particularly narrow dental arches, and retruded lower jaws, can contribute to restricted airway passages that affect breathing during sleep. Through orthodontics focused on proper jaw positioning and dental arch development, these breathing pathways can be expanded and optimized.

Prevention of Jaw Pain and TMJ Disorders

Bite misalignments can place excessive stress on your jaw joints, potentially leading to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which cause pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement. Many patients who begin orthodontics for cosmetic reasons are pleasantly surprised to find relief from chronic headaches, ear pain, and facial soreness they hadn’t previously connected to their dental alignment.

Reduced Incidence of Dental Emergencies

Properly aligned teeth are less prone to trauma and emergency dental situations. Protruding front teeth have a significantly higher risk of being chipped, fractured, or knocked out during accidents or sports activities. Through customized orthodontic treatments, these vulnerable teeth are brought into protective alignment with the dental arch.

Our Orthodontic Process

Initial Smile Assessment

Your orthodontic treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation where our experienced dentist will examine your teeth, jaws, and facial structure specifically for clear aligner candidacy. This appointment includes detailed 3D digital imaging to provide a complete picture of your current dental alignment and visualize your potential Invisalign treatment outcomes.

Digital Treatment Mapping

Based on your assessment findings, we will create a personalized Invisalign treatment plan using advanced technology to design your step-by-step tooth movement sequence. This customized orthodontic treatment approach leverages sophisticated software to precisely calculate the gradual shifts needed to achieve your beautiful smile.

Custom Invisalign Fabrication

Once you approve your digital treatment plan, we’ll send your precise specifications to Invisalign’s laboratory where your custom clear aligners will be created using state-of-the-art materials. Each set of your transparent orthodontic aligners is specially crafted to apply targeted pressure that gradually moves specific teeth according to your personalized treatment plan.

Progressive Aligner Transitions

Throughout your orthodontic care, you’ll advance through your series of Invisalign aligners, according to Dr. Gabai’s recommendations. You’ll visit our luxury service orthodontic practice periodically for progress checks where we’ll verify your teeth are moving as planned and provide your next sets of clear aligners.

FAQs

How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?

Orthodontic treatment time varies depending on your specific needs, the complexity of your case, and the type of orthodontic option selected. Most patients complete their orthodontic care within 12-24 months, though some simpler cases may require as little as 6 months. Clear aligner treatments often offer slightly faster results for certain conditions compared to traditional options. During your consultation, Dr. Gabai will provide a customized timeline based on your individual situation and ultimate goals.

Are clear aligners right for everyone?

While clear aligners are an excellent option for many patients, they aren’t universally suitable for all orthodontic conditions. They work best for mild to moderate alignment issues, spacing problems, and some bite corrections. Severe misalignments, significant rotations, or complex bite problems might require alternative approaches for optimal results..

Will orthodontic treatment be painful?

Most patients experience some discomfort rather than actual pain during orthodontic treatment. With clear aligners, you may feel pressure for the first few days after switching to a new set of trays, which indicates the treatment is working to move your teeth. This sensation typically subsides quickly as your mouth adapts.

Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?

Absolutely! Adults make up a growing percentage of orthodontic patients, and it’s never too late to improve your smile. Adult teeth move using the same biological processes as those in younger patients, though treatment may take slightly longer in some cases. Many of our adult patients choose clear aligners for their discreet appearance and minimal impact on professional and social interactions.

How do I care for my teeth during orthodontic treatment?

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment to prevent decay and ensure optimal results. For clear aligner patients, this means removing your aligners before eating, brushing and flossing after each meal, and cleaning your aligners daily with appropriate solutions. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings remain essential throughout your orthodontic care to monitor overall dental health and address any concerns promptly.
