EARLY TREATMENT

Early treatment in orthodontics refers to the correction of dental and jaw irregularities at an early age, usually between 6 and 10 years old. The objective of early treatment is to address developing problems before they become more severe and harder to treat. Early treatment can help to guide the growth of the jaws and teeth, reduce the need for extractions or more invasive treatments later in life, improve bite function, and create more space for permanent teeth.

ADOLESCENT ORTHODONTICS

Adolescent orthodontics refers to the correction of dental and jaw irregularities in teenagers. This is typically the optimal time for orthodontic treatment as the facial bones and jaws are still growing and can be easily molded into the desired position. The goal of treatment is to create a straight, healthy bite, and to improve the overall appearance of the smile.

ADULT ORTHODONTICS

Unlike traditional orthodontics which is usually done in childhood, adult orthodontics may be needed due to changes in the jaw and face structure that occur with age. Adult orthodontics may be needed to improve, not only asthtics, but bit and function as well.

3D IMAGING

3D imaging in orthodontics is a technology that allows for the creation of detailed, three-dimensional images of a patient's teeth and jaws. These images provide an in-depth look at the patient's dental anatomy and help orthodontists to diagnose and plan treatment with greater accuracy.
