Orthodontics deals with the positioning of the teeth and jaw. Patients seek out orthodontic treatment when they are suffering from teeth that are improperly positioned or if they have a jaw that is misaligned. At Trumbull Premier Dental, we're here to help.
When a person experiences orthodontic issues, it can make their smile appear less pleasing, and it can present difficulties for them in trying to maintain their teeth and gums. And if these problems are left untreated, it can lead to further issues, including tooth decay, gum disease, headaches and neck strains.
At Trumbull Premier Dental, we offer quality orthodontic treatments to adjust the positioning of one’s teeth and improve the look of their smile overall. In most cases, orthodontic treatment consists of using gentle pressure to slowly adjust the teeth into a proper position and correct an individual’s bite over time. Our experts can discuss different orthodontic treatment options with patients and help determine which orthodontic treatment is right for them. By receiving treatment, the patient will surely enjoy better oral health and a great smile.
We offer the following orthodontic treatments:
- Invisalign: An excellent alternative to metal braces, Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of transparent aligners that are designed to adjust the positioning of teeth over time. The patient will wear a tightly fitted aligner for a minimum of 20-22 hours per day. The current aligner is then replaced with a new one every two weeks until the teeth reach their desired position. Invisalign treatment is particularly convenient since it allows patients to eat and drink whatever they would like while receiving treatment.
- Six Month Smiles: Six Month Smiles are a special type of braces that can achieve outstanding results after just six months of use. This is accomplished by using unique brackets to apply low-force movement upon the teeth. Since they act quickly, Six Month Smiles are ideal for patients who need the repositioning efforts of metal braces, without requiring any major corrections to their overall bite.
Orthodontic treatment can help you achieve the smile you have always wanted. A simple visit to Trumbull Premier Dental is the first step towards improving the positioning of your teeth and the look of your smile. You may call us at (203) 408-2868 to schedule an appointment.
