Paediatric Dentist Consultation US

PEDIATRIC DENTIST: a dental specialist whose practice is limited to the treatment of children.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment often go beyond the obvious physical changes of an improved bite and straighter teeth; it’s also a great way to improve a person’s overall self-image. While having beautiful straight teeth is important, even more important is the need to alleviate any potential health problems associated with the teeth or jaw. Crooked teeth or jaw problems may contribute to improper cleaning of teeth, leading to tooth decay and, possibly, gum disease or total tooth loss. Orthodontic problems that go untreated can lead to chewing and digestion difficulties, speech impairments, and abnormal wear of tooth surfaces. Over time, excessive strain on gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth can affect the jaw joints leading to problems such as headaches or face and neck pain. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children get an orthodontic evaluation no later than age 7. Though orthodontic treatment can be done at any age, timely treatment ensures maximum dental health. With all of the recent advancements in orthodontics, wearing braces has never been easier. State-of-the-art appliances and treatments are now available, from traditional metal braces, to clear and tooth colored brackets, to NASA type wires that are heat activated and require fewer adjustments! Some patients may even be candidates for treatment with Invisalign, a revolutionary way to straighten teeth using clear, retainer type aligners that require no braces or wires! If treatment is necessary, we will thoroughly discuss which treatment option is best suited for you!

Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using Aligners. Aligners are made of a clear, thin medical-grade polymer that is virtually invisible when worn. How does it work? Using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to project tooth movement, invisalign creates a series of clear, custom-made Aligners that gradually move your teeth.You wear each Aligner for about two weeks, moving to the next set, until your teeth are straight.

A comprehensive approach to re-creating a youthful, radiant smile eliminating gaps, discoloration, crowding, rotations and unsightly imperfections. The result is a vibrant, natural, self-assured appearance.
