Take Your Smile To The Next Level With Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaw structures. At Chalmers Dental in Arden, CA, we proudly offer two reliable solutions: traditional band-and-bracket braces and modern clear aligners. Able to address a variety of orthodontic issues, these treatments can also deliver numerous cosmetic and confidence-boosting benefits, as well.

How do they work?

Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually shift your teeth into their most ideal positions. Periodic adjustments by our dentist ensure steady progress. Clear aligners, on the other hand, use custom-made, removable trays to gently guide your teeth into alignment over time. You change trays every few weeks as your smile gradually transforms.

Issues braces address:

Both braces and clear aligners are effective in addressing the following:

• Overbites and underbites: Correcting misalignment of the upper and lower jaw.
• Crooked teeth: Straightening teeth for a beautiful, symmetrical smile.
• Spacing issues: Closing unwanted gaps between teeth.
• Crowded teeth: Creating space for crowded teeth to align properly.

What are the benefits of orthodontic treatment?

Teeth that are well-aligned have a lower risk for cavities and gum disease since they’re easier to clean. They also contribute to better oral function, making speaking easier, and a properly aligned bite makes chewing and eating more manageable and comfortable. A straighter smile also boosts self-esteem and studies show that it makes a person look more attractive, approachable, and confident.

Orthodontics, whether through braces or clear aligners, offers a path to a healthier, more confident smile. Contact us today to determine which option might be right for you!
