The Importance of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic care is important not just for cosmetic enhancements, but also a key part of maintaining your overall oral health and well-being. Aligned teeth are easier to clean, which decreases the risk of decay and gum disease. Orthodontics can correct bite issues, improve issues with eating and speaking, and lessen the strain on jaw muscles and joints, helping to prevent future TMJ problems. A straighter smile can also help patients gain confidence and improve their self-esteem. We offer a full range of orthodontic services at our offices, and our customized treatment plans are designed to address the specific, unique needs of each patient’s smile.
Our Orthodontic Services
Orthodontic Treatment for Children
Phase 1 Treatment: Often initiated when a child still has most of their primary teeth along with a few permanent front incisors, Phase 1 treatment targets significant developmental concerns that may affect jaw and teeth alignment. Benefits of early treatment include:
- Guiding the growth of the jaw to make room for future permanent teeth
- Lessening the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth
- Correcting harmful oral habits
- Boosting appearance and self-esteem
- Potentially reducing the complexity and duration of future orthodontic work
Phase 2 Treatment: Starting when most or all permanent teeth have come in, typically around the ages of 11 to 13, Phase 2 focuses on aligning teeth and bite correctly. This stage may involve traditional braces, clear aligners, or other orthodontic devices, tailored to the individual’s needs.
Orthodontic Treatment for Teens & Adults
Orthodontic improvement isn’t limited by age. Teens and adults can benefit from orthodontic treatments just as children can, though the approach may differ slightly due to the cessation of jaw growth. At Lone Star Dental, we offer various discreet and effective treatment options, such as:
- Traditional Metal Braces: The most common option for orthodontic treatment, advances in technology have made metal braces more effective and more comfortable than ever before.
- Clear and Ceramic Braces: Functionally similar to metal braces, clear and ceramic braces provide effective treatment with a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Clear Aligners: Especially popular among adults and teens, clear aligners are nearly invisible and because they’re removable, they require fewer adjustments to your routine and diet.
