Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment involves the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws. At Pasadena Dental Care, our specialists focus on improving both the function and appearance of your smile by addressing issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The goal of orthodontic care is to create a balanced bite, support oral health, and provide a smile that boosts confidence.
The benefits of orthodontic treatment go beyond aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting bite issues can prevent jaw pain, uneven tooth wear, and speech difficulties. Patients also often experience increased self-esteem and a greater sense of well-being after completing treatment.
Orthodontic solutions at Pasadena Dental Care are tailored to meet each patient’s needs and preferences, including:
-
Traditional braces for comprehensive alignment
-
Clear aligners for a more discreet option
-
Custom braces designed for individual dental structures
Key considerations include:
-
Early intervention for children to guide proper jaw growth and prevent more severe issues
-
Adult orthodontic solutions to address alignment concerns later in life
-
Corrective procedures for malocclusions to improve bite function and overall oral health
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are a highly effective orthodontic solution for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. They consist of metal brackets attached to each tooth and connected by wires, which gradually move teeth into their proper positions over time. Traditional braces are known for their reliability and ability to address a wide range of dental concerns, making them a cornerstone of orthodontic treatment.
The process involves regular adjustments by an orthodontist to ensure teeth are moving according to the treatment plan. Typical treatment duration ranges from 18 months to three years, depending on the complexity of the case. Throughout this period, patients benefit from consistent professional monitoring to achieve the best possible results.
Ideal candidates for traditional braces include:
-
Children and teens with misaligned teeth or bite issues
-
Adults seeking a comprehensive solution for complex dental corrections
-
Patients requiring significant bite adjustment or correction of severe crowding
Traditional braces remain a trusted choice for patients seeking long-lasting, effective results as part of a personalized orthodontic treatment plan.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are a modern orthodontic solution available at Pasadena Dental Care, designed to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably. These custom-made, transparent trays fit snugly over your teeth and gradually shift them into proper alignment without the need for metal brackets or wires. Clear aligners offer an effective alternative for patients seeking a more subtle approach to orthodontic treatment.
The advantages of clear aligners include:
Discreet appearance, ideal for adults and teens who prefer a low-profile option
Removability, allowing for easy eating, brushing, and flossing
Convenience, as fewer in-office visits may be required compared to traditional braces
The treatment process begins with a consultation and a 3D scan of your teeth to create a personalized plan. Patients receive a series of aligners, each worn for about one to two weeks, gradually guiding teeth into their ideal positions. Regular check-ins with the orthodontist at Pasadena Dental Care ensure progress stays on track, resulting in a well-aligned smile through a comfortable and effective treatment plan.
Custom Braces
Custom braces provide a personalized approach to orthodontic treatment at Pasadena Dental Care, tailored to each patient’s dental structure and needs. Unlike traditional braces, custom braces use advanced technology to create brackets and wires that match the unique contours of your teeth, ensuring precise and effective tooth movement.
The benefits of custom braces include:
-
Improved comfort with brackets and wires designed to fit your teeth perfectly
-
Greater efficiency by targeting specific alignment issues with precision
-
Enhanced results through a plan tailored to the complexity of your bite and dental anatomy
A personalized approach matters because every smile is unique. Custom braces allow your orthodontist at Pasadena Dental Care to address individual concerns, whether correcting crowding, spacing, or bite issues. This targeted treatment ensures better outcomes, a more comfortable experience, and a smoother path to achieving a healthy, confident smile.
