Orthodontics
Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Stockton, Modesto, California
If you are an adult and you are unhappy with a crooked smile or a bad bite, orthodontics are an effective and permanent option. Unlike veneers and crowns, which offer a quick fix without moving your root—orthodontics slowly move your teeth into their ideal position. This means a beautiful smile forever.
Not Just For Kids
In the past, braces were used mainly for adolescents who had problems with their bite. Today, orthodontics are becoming increasing used on adults who want the smile they have always dreamed about. In fact, statistics show that 30% of all orthodontic patients in the United States are adults.
Orthodontics can:
- Create a well-aligned, eye-catching smile
- Realign your bite to reduce TMD symptoms
- Maximize your teeth's effectiveness in performing their functions
- Make oral hygiene easier to maintain
- Protect your teeth—they will not need to be shaved down to prepare for other cosmetic dental procedures like veneers
Orthodontic treatment involves the repositioning of your teeth and its underlying roots. In doing this, your tooth’s crown has better support. Besides functional purposes, orthodontics has aesthetic benefits also. Braces can reshape your neck, lips and jaw line by properly aligning your teeth.
The right option for you
Orthodontic treatments can straighten teeth and correct a misaligned bite, though it may take several years for traditional braces to accomplish this. Here are a few options:
- Braces—this orthodontic treatment uses braces to apply constant pressure to realign your teeth. Traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces are both effective options. Braces take about one to three years on average to achieve you ideal smile.
- Instant orthodontics—this is not exactly an “orthodontic” treatment, but instead a quick fix to make your smile straight and stunning. Instant orthodontics use cosmetic procedures like veneers and crowns to correct your smile in only several visits.
- Invisalign—this is a new orthodontic treatment that gradually straightens teeth through the use of custom-fitted aligners. These plastic, “invisible” aligners are worn 24 hours a day except for when you are eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Dr. Miller is one of a very few Preferred Invisalign dentists in the Sacramento area, and the only general dentist to achieve this distinction.
