Orthodontics for adults
Today with the evolution of orthodontic technology there are many more options to achieving a straighter and more healthier smile. A quarter of all orthodontic patients are of the age of 21 and even so, many adults still have some misconceptions about braces.For adults who are concerned about the effects that orthodontics may have on their appearance, it can be a difficult decision to make as it may lower your confidence.
At Great Lakes Dentistry, we will assure you that if you need orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth of improve bite issues, you should know that we offer several orthodontic options, and many of them are very discreet that you may choose from to correct your teeth. One of the down-sides of having orthodontic treatment done when you’re an adult is that your teeth and jawbone have already fully developed, and this means that your treatment may take a little longer to achieve best results. The up-side to this however is that today there has been many advances in orthodontic technology, and patients can now experience less visible and more comfortable treatment than ever before.
Dr. Gurpreet Mohi will perform a complete oral examination so that she can recommend the best possible treatment option to correct your smile. If you have any current issues with your teeth or jaw, it is important that you address these issues with the dentist. Issues such as: bone loss or periodontal disease will need to be treated and corrected before you are able to receive orthodontic treatment
Orthodontics for children
It is important that your child visits an orthodontist around the age of 7 because enforcing early orthodontic treatment for crooked teeth is crucial. At this point of a child’s life, he or she should already have permanent teeth which makes it easier for the orthodontist to rule out dental issues both current or potentially encountering dental issues down the road. The orthodontist will then be able to determine if orthodontic treatment is necessary for your child.
Early treatment can definitely reduce the risks of impacted teeth, permanent tooth extractions, and any other conditions that may constrain dental treatment. At this early stage, an orthodontist can also guide incoming teeth giving adequate room for them to grow in nicely. The orthodontist can also detect subtle problems that may not be readily apparent.
Great Lakes Dentistry offers a variety of orthodontic treatment options, including braces and Invisalign to ensure a straight set of teeth to accompany your child’s sparkling smile. To schedule your consultation with Dr. Gurpreet Mohi please give our office a call today.
