Orthodontics is focused on straightening teeth, but orthodontists can also assist with misaligned and painful bites, some forms of sleep apnea, and many other dental concerns.
Dentists and orthodontists work in different ways. General dentists deal with overall oral health issues, and orthodontists are dental experts focused on specific issues, such as straightening teeth and correcting improper bite patterns.
A general dentist diagnoses and treats common dental problems and diseases affecting your mouth, teeth, and gums. General dentists are specialists in overall dental care and maintenance for all ages.
General dentists can also offer certain cosmetic dental procedures, such as teeth whitening and crowns.
Orthodontists have additional training in facial growth and development, biology and biomechanics, and orthodontics. Orthodontists are experts in facial growth and dental development and can diagnose and treat crooked teeth, poorly aligned jaws, bad bites, and more.
Golden State Smiles provides numerous effective orthodontic treatments, including:
You might choose traditional metal braces, or you might be interested in clear braces or Invisalign aligner trays for more discretion.
Invisalign is also a popular teeth-straightening treatment involving a series of near-invisible, thermoplastic aligners you wear over your teeth. The clear and comfortable aligners gently shift and align your teeth into place over time. In some cases, Invisalign treatments can be completed in just six months.
Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional teeth-straightening methods like metal braces. You can even whiten your teeth while you’re straightening them with Invisalign. You simply add the at-home special whitening solution to your Invisalign aligners.
The team Golden State Smiles also provides retainers, space maintainers, and many other orthodontic treatments for children, teens, and adults.
