Orthodontics
While the Timmons Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry team has many options to help you brighten your smile and deal with broken or stained teeth, if you have major issues with alignment, our cosmetic dentistry methods may not be sufficient. That’s why we are pleased to offer orthodontic care to our patients. As your cosmetic dentist in Ocean Springs, MS, we believe that offering orthodontic care is the key to ensuring all of our patients walk out of our offices with the confident smile they deserve. Here is a closer look at our orthodontic services.
What to Expect with Orthodontic Care
When you come to Timmons Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry to discuss your alignment or spacing issues, we may suggest orthodontic treatment. If you are a good candidate for this service, we will use intraoral scanners to take 3-D images of your mouth to make a treatment plan. You’ll be able to see the expected results right in our office using this cutting-edge technology. We will then walk you through orthodontic treatment, ensuring you stay consistent with your appointments to achieve the best possible results.
Common Conditions That Can Be Treated with Orthodontics
Many unsightly and uncomfortable conditions can be treated using orthodontic techniques. The most common reason someone will come to our clinic to discuss orthodontic care is crooked teeth. Others may find that they have an unwanted gap or a mouth that’s too small to hold its teeth properly. All of these conditions can be treated using orthodontics.
Alignment issues are more than just a cosmetic concern, though. They can also cause health concerns by putting strain on the jaw. That’s why getting an assessment for orthodontic care is so important.
Some common issues we can help with through orthodontic care include:
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Rotated or crooked teeth
- Crowding
- Gaps
There are additional concerns that orthodontic care can help. The best way to know if yours is one of them is to book a consultation with our team.
Traditional Braces Vs. Invisalign
Today’s orthodontic patients have more options than ever to straighten their teeth. For many, traditional braces remain a top choice. They are more affordable and, in some cases, quicker than the clear Invisalign aligners.
However, Invisalign and similar alignment systems are changing the way we approach braces. These systems use a series of clear aligners to move the teeth, with fewer visits to our clinic, less discomfort, and nothing that you can clearly see that indicates the person is having orthodontic treatment.
At Timmons Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, our orthodontic team will help you determine whether you are a candidate for Invisalign or a better fit for traditional braces. We can handle several types of orthodontic care in-house, or we can refer you to an orthodontic specialist for your treatment. Because our goal is a beautiful, healthy smile, we will help you attain that in a way that fits your needs.
