Braces from your dentists in Northeast Seattle, WA, can give you a beautiful smile.
If you have rotated, crowded teeth, you are not alone. It’s common for the jaw and face to grow at different rates. Tooth eruption is another factor that complicates things. Different growth rates and eruption patterns combine to cause jaw alignment and tooth positioning problems.
The good news is, braces can straighten your smile and give you a smile you will be proud to show to the world. Dr. Cesar Cruz and Dr. Yoona Lee at Wedgwood Smiles in Northeast Seattle, WA, offer comprehensive dental services, including orthodontic treatment to give you a beautiful smile.
Orthodontic treatment gradually and comfortably shifts your teeth into the proper position, so you can have a straight, beautiful smile and full chewing function again. Braces use brackets and wires to move your teeth, or you can choose Invisalign, which uses plastic aligners. Each method has its own advantages.
Braces or Invisalign can correct:
- Poor tooth positioning, including rotation and crowding
- Gaps or uneven spacing between your teeth
- An overbite, where your upper teeth protrude over your lower teeth
- An underbite, where your lower teeth protrude in front of your upper teeth
- An open bite, where your front teeth don’t come together when you bite down
- A crossbite, where your upper and lower teeth cross when you bite down
Orthodontic treatment offers many options for you to choose from, including:
- Conventional metal brackets and wires; these are the original braces with a long history of creating straight smiles
- Ceramic brackets with tooth-colored or clear wires; offer a more aesthetic, natural look
- Lingual braces; these are bonded to the back sides of your teeth and are the least visible braces option
- Invisalign; this option uses clear, smooth plastic appliances called aligners, which you can remove to eat, brush, and floss
You don’t have to suffer from crowded, poorly-positioned teeth or a bad bite. Orthodontic treatment is just a phone call away.
