Orthodontics is the field of dentistry dedicated to correcting misaligned teeth and jaw irregularities. Straightening your teeth not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also contributes to better oral health and function. At Paseo Family Dental and Dentures, we provide a range of orthodontic treatments designed to address alignment issues efficiently and comfortably.
Our orthodontic services include:
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. When teeth are crowded or misaligned, plaque and bacteria can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas, increasing the likelihood of oral health problems. Orthodontic treatment also improves bite function, helping to prevent excessive wear on teeth and minimizing strain on the jaw. Addressing misalignment issues early can reduce the risk of complications such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, headaches and difficulty chewing.
Common Orthodontic Issues
Our dentist can correct a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded Teeth – Lack of space in the jaw can cause teeth to overlap, making brushing and flossing more challenging.
- Gapped Teeth – Large spaces between teeth can impact bite function and lead to shifting over time.
- Overbites and Underbites – When the upper or lower teeth extend too far over the opposing arch, it can affect jaw alignment and function.
- Open Bites – A gap between the upper and lower front teeth when the mouth is closed can interfere with proper chewing and speech.
- Crossbites – Teeth that are misaligned between the upper and lower jaws can cause uneven wear and discomfort.
Modern Orthodontic Solutions
Orthodontic treatment has advanced significantly in recent years, offering more discreet and effective options. While traditional braces remain a reliable choice for comprehensive corrections, while clear aligners provide a nearly invisible alternative for patients seeking a more aesthetic solution. During your initial consultation Dr. Darren Chugg will discuss your options with you to determine the right type of treatment for your needs.
