West Chester, PA Families Trust Dr. Cari When It’s Time to See an Orthodontist
Everyone wants a perfect smile, right? Having healthy, great looking teeth is a great confidence builder for teens and adults alike.
Orthodontic treatment is indicated for both health and aesthetic reasons. Any condition that causes difficulty or pain in chewing or closing one’s mouth can be addressed by an orthodontist.
Call us today if you or your children experience any of the following:
- Bucked or protruding upper front teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Underbite
- Open bite
- A “deep” bite
- Pain with chewing
- Misalignment from thumb sucking
- Spaces between teeth
What Else Should I Know About Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment generally happens in two phases. Phase I can begin while a child still has some baby teeth. Phase II addresses misalignments only once the full set of adult teeth has emerged.
Phase I can address spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and other, more minor orthodontic issues. Phase II uses braces or other aligners to correct any remaining imperfections and usually lasts one to two years.
Orthodontics is a specialty field, so you can be assured that your orthodontist will select the proper treatments for your family. Whatever the treatment that you and Dr. Cari decide on, any crowding will be slowly and gently straightened using constant, gentle pressure that will gradually reshape your smile.
It is important to practice excellent dental hygiene habits throughout the duration of treatment and to attend regular appointments as recommended by our staff. Since Dr. Cari has 2 offices convenient to West Chester, PA, you never have to go too far out of your way to get to your appointment.
What’s New With Braces?
Metal braces are still around, but they’re completely different than they used to be! The brackets and wires are smaller, less obtrusive, and don’t collect food particles as readily as braces used to.
Our practice exclusively recommends and uses both Damon Braces and Speed self-ligating braces. These options can cut treatment times by up to 40 percent and require fewer office visits than traditional braces. They are even offered in a clear option, which is popular with both adults and teens.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligner trays are extremely popular, and for good reasons. These nearly invisible aligners are actually removable, so in the event of an important work event or special occasion, you can be completely free of your orthodontic gear for a little while!
