Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment improves facial appearance and corrects health problems, ensuring proper mouth functioning and breathing. Children (and adults) whose teeth are properly aligned are able to speak and chew food more efficiently and practice better oral hygiene.

Orthodontics work by applying a constant but gentle pressure in a predetermined direction, slowly but surely moving your teeth into a new position.

Orthodontics and other necessary appliances might be removable or fixed and are generally made of clear or colored metal, ceramic, or plastic. Removable appliances fit in the roof of your mouth and clip on a tooth to stay in place. Removable appliances are called retainers.

Orthodontic treatment can:

• Straighten rotated, tilted, or improperly aligned teeth
• Correct crowded or unevenly spaced teeth
• Correct bite problems
• Align upper and lower jaws
• Open closed bites

Orthodontic treatment can last from several months to two years, and regular visits to Dr. Castaneda, as well as superb oral hygiene, are vital to your success.
