Dentx Dental (waxxyz) Clinics don’t just provide treatments like general and cosmetic dentistry. We also have orthodontic diagnosis capabilities for both our adult patients and children. Orthodontic treatments aim to address both functional problems and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the smile. The main benefits are the correction of jaw alignment, reduced occurrence of cavities, and possible resolution of speech and digestion issues. Accordingly, in certain cases, regardless of the patient’s age, we recommend orthodontic treatment for our patients.
Orthodontics for Children
People are shocked when we recommend orthodontic treatment to children at the very young age of seven.
You no longer have to wear braces exclusively during your teenage years. Typically, children undergo a common two-phase approach to orthodontic treatment. Phase one resolves the child’s arch development and jaw placement issues. The best time for a child to undergo the first phase of treatment is around the ages of seven or eight, as their growing facial structure supports the process. Once the second phase is completed, which is the period of permanent teeth have come to the surface, we will be doing the necessary adjustments if needed.
Orthodontics for Adults
Adults who wish to have their teeth straightened benefit from recent advances in orthodontic treatment. We make sure to communicate to our patients that age is just a number when it comes to mouth hygiene. Our orthodontists recommend different types of braces that are likely to be attractive to most of our patients, regardless of their age. Among the several options, people usually ask about Invisalign® and clear braces. We can see that the Invisalign® technique employs clear aligner trays to facilitate the process of moving the teeth gradually to the right position. To eat and brush one’s teeth, they are detachable. Clear braces, which are similar to traditional metal braces, consist of tooth-colored wires and brackets.
