Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic treatments are another kind of treatment provided by our Redondo Beach dentist. Orthodontic treatments apply continuous pressure to correct misaligned teeth. The amount of pressure is altered at particular times throughout the procedure. The treatments often last from 1 to 3 years, depending on the progress of the patient's teeth.

Orthodontics use corrective devices, such as retainers and braces, to fix an irregular bite or to straighten any crooked tooth. They can also realign a bite, which for some individuals may require additional time.

With the recent development of Invisalign aligners, or clear braces, the treatments have expanded beyond serving only teenagers and children to adults. Adults are now able to make use of braces provided by our dentist in Redondo Beach and have their teeth straightened without any hassle.

Invisalign braces slowly straighten teeth by using custom-fitted clear plastic aligners. Patients wear the aligners daily and only remove them for drinking and eating. Adults find them especially useful to realign their bite and fix crooked teeth because the braces are invisible and do not detract from their professional appearance. Many of our adult patients use the services of our cosmetic dentist in Redondo Beach and have their teeth straightened without any concern for how their appearance might be.

Are you uncomfortable with your crooked or misaligned teeth? Our Redondo Beach cosmetic dentist can provide the necessary treatment with several different kinds of braces.

Redondo Beach Othodontist

Individuals that have good oral hygiene and healthy teeth and gums make good candidates for orthodontic treatments. Yet the majority of patients remain to be pre-teens and teenagers. The logical reason for this age group to dominate orthodontic care is because their facial structure and bones are still maturing. Orthodontics often uses the natural process to easily manipulate the teeth to produce a better bite and facial profile.

Braces can improve the upper and lower arches, decrease speech difficulty and abnormal swallowing, reduce the chances of developing impacted permanent teeth and improve self-esteem and appearance. No matter how old you are, you can still receive the advantages of orthodontic treatments offered by our Redondo Beach cosmetic dentist.
