Orthodontic Treatment for a Healthier, Straighter Smile
Orthodontic care helps move teeth into healthier positions, improving both the appearance of the smile and the way the upper and lower teeth fit together. Treatment may address concerns such as crowded or crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, deep bites, and other alignment problems involving the teeth or jaws. Braces may also be combined with additional orthodontic appliances when needed to achieve proper bite alignment.
Your first appointment will include a consultation with Dr. Fooladi to discuss your orthodontic needs and review the treatment options available to you. She will answer your questions, explain what to expect, and create a personalized orthodontic treatment plan based on your smile and bite.
METAL BRACES
Metal braces remain one of the most versatile ways to improve tooth position and correct bite concerns. Small brackets are attached to the teeth and connected with a wire that applies steady, controlled pressure over time. Modern designs are more streamlined than older braces and can be used for mild, moderate, or complex orthodontic cases.
CLEAR BRACKETS
Clear brackets work much like standard braces but are designed to be less noticeable. Their ceramic or translucent appearance helps them blend with the natural color of the teeth. This option is well suited for patients who want the control of fixed orthodontic treatment with a more discreet look.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign® uses a sequence of custom-made aligners that shift the teeth in small, planned steps. The trays are removable, which makes eating and daily oral hygiene easier during treatment. Their transparent design also makes them an appealing choice for patients who prefer a low-profile alternative to braces.
