This is the branch of dentistry that deals with the rearrangement or realignment of teeth.
Orthodontists also have specialized training in dealing with facial abnormalities and disorders of the jaw.
Odontoville's orthodontic clinic provides treatment using both removable and fixed appliances called braces.
Braces are worn to straighten the teeth. Braces that are fixed to teeth and only removed when the teeth reach the correct position are called "fixed braces", and other braces that can be taken out of the mouth to be cleaned are called "removable braces".
Fixed braces: These are commonly known as train tracks and are one of the most effective ways of straightening teeth. They could be metal fixed braces, gold fixed braces, or ceramic fixed braces.
Lingual Braces: These braces are also fixed but are invisible when you smile because they are attached to the back of the teeth (on the insides of the teeth).
Invisalign: This is the invisible way to straighten teeth. Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to create a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. Whether your teeth are crowded, crooked, gapped, buck or have shifted since wearing braces, you'll have reason to smile. The final desired result of treatment can be demonstrated to you before treatment even starts.
The Invisalign aligners are made from strong, very thin medical-grade plastic that make them virtually invisible when worn. Not only are they clear, they are also removable and very comfortable. You can take them out to clean your teeth, for a night out, or just to eat dinner. There is no need to hide with Invisalign.
