When Would I Need Orthodontics?

Cosmetic Reasons: Straighten teeth

Depending on the extent, orthodontics can be more than a cosmetic adjustment. If left untreated, it can increase the risk of tooth decay from the poor convergence of the teeth, causing a breakdown of the enamel at the cusps and, eventually, gum disease.

Malocclusion Reasons: Jaw misalignments to prevent TMJ issues in the future.

An overbite, underbite, or openbite malocclusion can increase the pressure at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ/TMD), thus creating a site of potential jaw problems.

Procedural Reasons: The doctor may recommend orthodontics to make space.

Orthodontics and clear aligners may be used as an early step in the process for another treatment, such as making room for an implant which requires some shifting of the teeth.

Orthodontic Treatments

Here at Shield Dental Care, we specialize in traditional braces with the option of clear brackets, and Invisalign
to deliver results within an appreciable timeline, so our patients can feel the difference.

Invisalign and Dream Smiles

Many may shy away from orthodontics as a result of the overwhelming notion of changes to your lifestyle and the aesthetic of your teeth for months, or even years.

However, a beautiful set of straight teeth is not out of reach. Dr. Ghorbani offers a convenient way to create the smile you dream of: Invisalign Clear Aligners.

What is the Invisalign Appointment Like?

Your first appointment for Invisalign will involve a quick 3D scan of your teeth, so a set of customized clear aligners can be crafted. Depending on your treatment plan, you can expect an appointment every 6-8 weeks to obtain the next set.

The clear aligners can be popped in and out with ease, so there’s no disruptions to your daily routines. As long as the clear aligners are worn each day, you will begin to see results in a matter of weeks!

Traditional Metal Braces (wire and bracket)

Certain teeth misalignments may require a wire to effectively move teeth into position. In addition to traditional metal braces, Dr. Ghorbani provides the option of clear braces. With brackets the same color as your natural teeth, braces don’t have to sacrifice the details of your smile.

Contact our office today to schedule an orthodontics consultation with Dr. Ghorbani and not only bring back the vitality of your teeth, but restore the confidence back into your smile.
