Address Your Pesky Bite Issues With Orthodontics

Our goal at Redwood Dental is to assist you in achieving the smile of your dreams. Orthodontics aims to improve the function and aesthetics of teeth and jaw alignment. Whether you want to close gaps in your teeth, straighten your teeth, or address bite problems, our orthodontic procedures can help you have a stunning, secure smile!

Why Do Orthodontics Matter?

Misaligned teeth can cause a number of problems, such as difficulty chewing, trouble speaking, and a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease which orthodontics can resolve.

Tailored Orthodontic Treatment Options We Offer

• Traditional Braces: Traditional braces consist of metal brackets attached to the teeth, connected by a wire that can gradually shift the teeth into an aligned position. Our traditional braces are  crafted to be compact, discreet and designed to be secure and not cause discomfort for patients of all ages.
• Clear Brackets: For patients who desire the effectiveness of traditional braces but prefer their brackets to be translucent, clear brackets may be a suitable choice. These orthodontics are created to blend in with your natural teeth, which may make them less noticeable while they straighten your smile.
• Invisalign®: This brand of clear aligners offers a clear, removable solution that may help you achieve a uniform smile over time. Using a series of custom-made aligners, Invisalign is designed to fit closely over your teeth and shift them into place. The aligners are detachable which may allow for easy eating and dental maintenance.

Who Can Benefit from These Treatments?

• Children & Teenagers: The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children be evaluated for orthodontic treatment by age seven when their mouths are still growing and developing. Early intervention can correct issues before they become more serious, guiding the growth of the jaw and teeth for optimal alignment. Both traditional braces and Invisalign can be ideal choices for teens and may help close gaps and combat bite issues to achieve a straight, healthy smile that lasts.
• Adults: Invisalign and clear brackets might be particularly appealing for adults who want to enhance their smiles discreetly, while traditional braces remain a strong option for more complex cases.
