What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misaligned teeth and jaw irregularities. Through orthodontic treatments, such as braces, patients can achieve a properly aligned bite, improved function, and enhanced aesthetics.

Benefits of Orthodontics

Improved Oral Hygiene

Aligned teeth are easier to clean, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and enamel damage.

Enhanced Appearance & Confidence

A straight smile looks great and boosts self-esteem in social and professional settings.

Corrected Bite Issues

Orthodontic treatment addresses overbites, underbites, and crossbites, improving jaw alignment and chewing function.

Protection Against Tooth Damage

Straightening teeth reduces the risk of chips, fractures, and uneven wear caused by misalignment.

Improved Speech Clarity

Fixing alignment issues can enhance pronunciation and overall speech quality.

Types of Braces

Kendall iSmile offers a variety of braces to meet our patients’ unique needs. Depending on your preference, lifestyle, and budget, our orthodontic team will recommend the best option.

1. Traditional Metal Braces

These are the most common types of braces, made of high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires that gradually shift teeth into the desired position. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before, making them a reliable and cost-effective option for all ages.

Ceramic braces function like traditional metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth. This makes them a more discreet option for those who want a less noticeable treatment.

3. Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces use a special clip instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire in place. This allows for smoother tooth movement, fewer adjustments, and often shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces.
