Most Effective Orthodontic Treatments

Many orthodontic treatments are available today. The two most common types are braces and clear aligners. Both are extremely effective at moving teeth to their ideal positions and promoting proper oral function. Our cosmetic dentist or orthodontist can help you find the most effective orthodontic treatment for your needs.

Braces are typically recommended for patients with complex malocclusions and orthodontic problems. Braces use brackets, bands, and wires to move teeth with regular adjustments. You may be a candidate for braces if you have severe or complex bite problems. Several types of braces are available, including traditional, ceramic, and lingual. You may have the option of choosing the one that is best for you.

Clear aligners used for Invisalign are another option. These aligners look similar to a mouth guard, but they are designed to fit close to your teeth to apply the appropriate amount of pressure. Invisalign is an excellent option for teens and adults who are concerned about aesthetics and for those with mild-to-moderate orthodontic problems.

No two patients have the same needs, and different orthodontic treatments offer different benefits. Call our office today to learn more about the most effective treatment for you, or to schedule your consultation with our expert in orthodontics in Los Angeles.
