Orthodontics in Costa Mesa

Orthodontics in Costa Mesa

Orthodontics are an excellent way to straighten your teeth. While orthodontic treatments are used to straighten teeth for an enhanced smile, they can also help restore functionality to teeth, jaw, and bite. 

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children should have an evaluation with an orthodontist by the age of 7 regardless of how many teeth have erupted. 

This is because orthodontists are able to predict any structural changes that may occur as your child gets older. Addressing such structural changes with braces can save your child’s smile and also prevent any additional dental issues down the road.

Adults Use Orthodontics As Well

    Types of Orthodontics:

    Traditional Metal Braces

    These are the most common form of braces. They are highly efficient at correcting complications with a smile.

    Invisalign®

    They are clear in color, removable, and can work as effectively as traditional metal braces. They are removable and easy to manage in terms of maintenance, brushing, and flossing.

    Clear Correct

    These clear aligners are designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues in a similar manner to traditional braces, but they are nearly invisible, offering a more aesthetic alternative.

Invisalign in Costa Mesa

Invisalign has become increasingly popular in recent years for several reasons, including:

  • Discrete way to improve your smile without anyone knowing
  • Removable aligners - so you can maintain your diet and dental cleaning routine
  • Fewer visits to the dentist - dental visits are placed at 6-8 week intervals to assess the progress of the treatment and to receive your next 3-4 sets of aligners

Orthodontics in Costa Mesa

The Invisalign system requires you to wear a series of custom-made trays fabricated from smooth, translucent material that is specially made for wear over teeth. Each set of aligners moves your teeth incrementally for a period of two weeks, and is replaced by the next set of trays in the series until the completion of your treatment in 6 to 18 months depending on your case.
