Treatment![]() Post-Orthodontic CareProfessional orthodontics can drastically improve your life. Besides the obvious cosmetic benefits, a straighter, more beautiful smile can also promote better oral health and prevent potential problems. However, it is important to protect your financial investment and time commitment after we correct your smile. RetainerMost people think orthodontic treatment is over after they get their braces off or finish their series of aligner trays. However, keeping your teeth in their proper position is just as important as moving them there. For this reason, the use of a retainer after your treatment is complete is crucial. Emergency Orthodontic CareSeveral issues may require emergency orthodontic care to correct. Here, we will cover each of those issues and what the typical solution is, from least severe to most severe. Early TreatmentEarly orthodontic treatment can not only give your child a more beautiful smile; it can prevent oral health problems in the future. Overly crowded teeth can trap food debris and bacteria, make it difficult to clean these areas properly, and ultimately result in tooth decay and gum disease. With early orthodontic treatment, we can establish a strong foundation for their oral health that follows them into adulthood. Adult TreatmentWhen most people think of orthodontic treatment, they think of a teenager with braces. However, adult orthodontic treatment has grown increasingly popular in recent years. According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), one in five orthodontic patients is over 18 years old.
