ASK AN EXPERT: WESTSIDE ORTHODONTICS

What can an orthodontist do?

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities and typically involves the use of braces, aligners, and other appliances to move teeth into the correct positions and improve the alignment of the bite.

• Traditional metal braces are a common type of orthodontic treatment that use brackets and wires to move teeth into the correct positions.

• Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth.

• After braces or other orthodontic treatment, a retainer may be used to keep teeth in their new positions.

• Orthodontic appliances are headgear, expanders, and bite correctors, which can be used to correct more severe dental and facial irregularities.
