Orthodontics
Dreaming of a straighter, more confident smile?
At Chaparral Smiles Dental in Southeast Calgary, we believe a beautiful smile enhances your overall well-being. Our experienced team specializes in providing personalized orthodontic care for patients of all ages, using the latest techniques and technology to achieve stunning results.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. This can include issues like:
- Overbite: Where the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth.
- Underbite: Where the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth.
- Crossbite: Where the upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
- Open bite: Where the teeth don’t meet when biting down.
- Crowding: Where there’s insufficient space for teeth to erupt properly.
- Spacing: Where gaps exist between teeth.
The Importance of Orthodontic Treatment
A perfectly aligned smile is more than just aesthetically pleasing. Orthodontic treatment offers a range of benefits that extend beyond appearance:
- Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, significantly reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhanced Speech Clarity: Misaligned teeth can sometimes interfere with proper speech development.
- Optimized Bite Function: Correcting bite issues can improve chewing and digestion, making mealtimes more enjoyable.
- Boosted Confidence: A confident smile can have a profound positive impact on self-esteem, boosting your overall confidence in both personal and professional settings.
