Smiles Braces Park Slope
Modern solutions for orthodontic issues in Park Slope
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry concerned with the treatment of overlapped, twisted, crooked or gapped teeth. Most people seek orthodontic treatments to improve the appearance of their smile. However, orthodontic treatments not only have cosmetic benefits but also improve oral health and chewing functions. As per the American Association of Orthodontics, children should have their first orthodontic visit no later than 7 years of age to prevent extensive orthodontic procedures in the future.
Smiles 4 Life Orthodontics offers latest orthodontic technology and procedures to correct each and every type of orthodontic abnormality, including crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite, underbite, openbite and unmatched dental midline. The clinic provides high quality orthodontic appliances, such as aligners, retainers and Smiles Braces Park Slope. Appropriate orthodontic treatments are available for the patients, depending upon their age and nature and severity of the orthodontic issue.
Conventional Braces
Smiles 4 Life Orthodontics uses traditional metal braces to correct misaligned teeth in various conditions, such as crowding, gaps and crookedness. Traditional braces gradually move the teeth into correct positions, thereby leading to a number of benefits, such as normal chewing, correction of temporomandibular joint disorder, prevention of tooth decay and improved smile.
Conventional braces comprise of brackets, wires and bands. The brackets are bonded to the front part of the teeth using a special bonding agent. Archwires connect the brackets with each other and come in different sizes and materials. Bands are attached to the back teeth to provide anchorage to the arch wires. The archwires exert pressure on the brackets and move the teeth into correct positions over a period of time. The teeth are held in their new positions by the brackets.
Advanced Braces
Smiles 4 Life Orthodontics also offers technologically advanced Smiles Braces Park Slope called SureSmile. The archwire of SureSmile braces is customized by a robot to apply accurate pressure on the teeth at specific places. This results in more effective movement of the teeth and faster results. SureSmile braces reduce the wearing time by about 40% as compared to traditional braces. The number of appointments is also reduced.
The first stage is the creation of a 3D model of the patient’s oral cavity through optical imaging tools. The computer model is studied to accurately determine the orthodontic issue in order to develop a treatment plan. As per the treatment plan, a robot shapes a memory alloy archwire for the SureSmile braces.
Clear Aligners
Smiles 4 Life Orthodontics provides clear aligners to patients who are not comfortable with traditional metal braces. Clear aligners are made of clear plastic and customized for each patient. The clear aligners work by gently exerting pressure to move the teeth into the correct positions. A series of aligners need to be worn by the patient over the course of the treatment.
