Why Is Orthodontic Treatment Important?

clear aligners and invisalign in Long BeachOrthodontic treatment can benefit your dental well-being in more ways than one. A straight and symmetrical smile not only boosts your confidence but makes chewing easier by promoting proper digestion. By undergoing orthodontic treatment, facial structural problems caused by crooked teeth can be resolved and lead to a more appealing facial shape.

A critical component to straight and even teeth is the improvement of oral hygiene. Even spacing between your teeth makes the process of brushing and flossing more effective. Additionally, orthodontics can prevent uneven wear on your smile caused by misaligned teeth.

Your Free Orthodontic Consultation

Although you may know that your smile is misaligned, it can be challenging to know how severe the issue is. At Village Dental Center Bldg. we offer free orthodontic consultations to give you a comprehensive understanding of how dental misalignment impacts your oral health, as well as how we can correct and enhance your smile. 

During your consultation, we'll ask you questions about your oral health, including if you're feeling any discomfort. From there, we'll create a comprehensive treatment plan reflective of your needs.

Long Beach Orthodontic Options for All Ages

Although the ideal age for orthodontic treatment is between seven and eight years old, adults may incorrectly think they're too old for treatment. Modern orthodontics allows adults whose teeth are finished developing to get the straight and beautiful smiles they deserve. It's never too late for orthodontics to make a positive impact on your oral health and overall well-being.

Our dental practice is proud to offer numerous orthodontic treatments in Long Beach, including clear brackets, to fit children, teens, and adults' unique needs. Whether you're looking for a discreet option for minor misalignment issues or an option for more extensive correction, we'll identify which of our services is right for you.

Traditional Braces: Traditional braces consist of metal brackets placed on your teeth through adhesive and wire. They're an excellent option for correcting minor to severe misalignment issues. One of the features of traditional braces is their flexibility, as they can help align your jaw and even help erupt impacted teeth.


Invisalign Clear Braces: If you're looking for a discreet and straightforward way to improve minor to moderately misaligned teeth, Invisalign clear braces offer an effective solution. This orthodontic option uses clear orthodontic trays that fit onto your upper and lower teeth. In addition, you don't have to deal with dietary restrictions or reaching around brackets to clean your teeth as Invisalign is removable.


Retainer Replacement: Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, you'll need retainers to prevent your smile from shifting out of place. However, it's normal for retainers to get damaged or worn down over time. That's why our practice offers retainer replacement so that your post-treatment routine doesn't skip a beat.

Orthodontics FAQs

Long Beach bracesOrthodontics can be a new and confusing area of dentistry for some patients. Our dentist and his team are more than happy to answer your questions at any time. Some commonly asked questions include:

Can I get braces if I'm missing teeth?
Yes, you can. Gaps in your smile can cause your remaining teeth to shift and lead to esthetic and functional problems. Orthodontic care not only straightens your teeth but prepares your smile for restorative options like dental implants.

Do braces hurt?
Modern orthodontics has significantly minimized the discomfort patients feel with braces. You may feel some discomfort during adjustments visits where your braces are tightened. However, any discomfort is only temporary as your teeth adjust to the changes.

Do I have to adjust my oral health routine with braces?
It would be best if you brush your teeth daily, as well as care for your gums. The only change you'll have to make is during flossing. Our dentist will show you how to floss around your braces so that your oral health remains excellent.
