Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment in Los Angeles?
Orthodontic treatment in Los Angeles serves a dual purpose: enhancing both the aesthetics of your smile and your overall oral health. While a beautiful smile is undoubtedly a benefit, the primary objective of orthodontia is to optimize your well-being.
Orthodontic issues, such as crowded or widely spaced teeth, extend beyond appearance. They can significantly elevate the risk of dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. Managing oral hygiene becomes challenging with misaligned teeth, making proper brushing and flossing a struggle. Crooked teeth can wear unevenly, leading to bite irregularities and an increased likelihood of chipped or broken teeth. Such uneven wear can alter your bite, potentially causing discomfort like jaw pain or headaches.
Orthodontic treatment isn’t confined to adolescence; approximately 30 percent of orthodontic patients in Los Angeles are adults. Seeking orthodontic care at any age can bring about remarkable improvements in both your smile’s aesthetics and your oral health.
What Orthodontic Treatment Options Are Available?
Modern orthodontics provides a range of treatment options to cater to various needs and preferences. These options include:
It’s important to note that not all of these treatment systems are equally effective for every orthodontic issue. The choice of treatment depends on factors such as the specific orthodontic problem, treatment duration, and the necessity for supplementary procedures like tooth extractions. Costs also vary depending on the selected system and the complexity of the treatment plan.
What Can You Expect During Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is a carefully orchestrated process designed to transform your smile and enhance your oral health. Here’s what you can anticipate:
-
Comprehensive Assessment: The journey begins with a thorough evaluation of your mouth, facial structure, and jaw alignment. Many modern orthodontists employ advanced computer software to craft a personalized treatment plan. This plan provides a glimpse of the anticipated final results, allowing you to visualize the transformation.
-
Customized Treatment Plan: Depending on the severity of your orthodontic issues, it may be necessary to remove one or more teeth to create adequate space in a crowded jaw.
-
Braces Installation: For most orthodontic systems, brackets made of either metal or ceramic are securely affixed to your teeth. These brackets are connected with wires and elastic bands, which will be adjusted periodically to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions.
-
Invisalign Treatment: If you opt for Invisalign, you’ll receive a series of clear aligners. These aligners are swapped out periodically to facilitate the gradual movement of your teeth.
-
Treatment Duration: Orthodontic treatment typically spans anywhere from one to three years, depending on the complexity of your case.
-
Post-Treatment Retention: After your braces are removed, it’s crucial to wear a retainer to maintain the newly achieved alignment of your teeth.
Orthodontic treatment not only significantly improves your long-term oral health but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your smile. To embark on your journey towards a healthier, more radiant smile, please don’t hesitate to contact us and schedule a consultation with Dr. Torbati.
