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.

Your Orthodontic Journey at Chaparral Smiles Dental

At your initial consultation, our experienced orthodontists will conduct a thorough examination, including:

  • A comprehensive oral assessment: To carefully evaluate your teeth, jaws, and bite.
  • Diagnostic records: X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a detailed picture of your unique situation.
  • Personalized treatment planning: We’ll work closely with you to discuss your treatment goals and create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your needs, lifestyle, and budget.

Orthodontic Treatment Options in Southeast Calgary

We offer a range of treatment options to cater to your individual needs and preferences:

  • Invisalign®: Discreet and comfortable, Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions.
  • Traditional Braces: Proven effective, traditional braces utilize brackets and wires to gently guide teeth into proper alignment.
  • Clear Braces: Offering a more aesthetically pleasing option, clear braces are designed to be less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
