Orthodontic treatment is chosen based on the types of problems requiring correction. Crossbite, open bite, overbite and underbite can be fixed with special appliances. When teeth are spaced too closely together, correction can be achieved using orthodontics. Finally, teeth that are spaced too far apart can also be fixed through certain treatments.
Popular treatment options available from our Los Angeles dentist include metal braces and Invisalign. Metal braces use a combination of brackets and wires to correct bite irregularities. Invisalign corrects virtually all of the same problems as metal braces, is more comfortable than metal braces and does not dramatically affect appearance during treatment. By scheduling a consultation with our dentist, patients can learn more about the advantages of these treatments and determine their eligibility for each option.
