Orthodontics is a specialized sub-category in the field of dentistry. In this area, dentists are trained to focus on treating patients who have malocclusions, or imperfections in the alignment of the teeth and jaw. Dr. Nejat is specialized with additional education and training to provide his patients with customized treatment plans.
Orthodontic treatment is required for patients who suffer from misaligned teeth, and jawbones, or those who have spacing issues between teeth. Patients with misalignments in their teeth can suffer from plaque build-up, bad breath, and even be at risk of breaking or losing teeth.
In order to help patients attain their treatment, we offer several dental appliances that will gradually bring the teeth and jaw bones into a proper alignment. Braces are a commonly used dental appliance to treat patients who require orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontics today is innovative and not how most adults remember it as kids! Orthodontics used to consist of large metal brackets that had sharp edges. Today, the materials are much less noticeable, smaller, smoother, and are designed to move teeth more efficiently.
These braces have the structure of the conventional metal braces but as they are made of translucent material, they appear to be less noticeable. Like metal braces, Ceramic braces consist of wires, brackets and elastic bands. The advantage of Ceramic braces is that every part of the bracket is made up of clear ceramic material
Aligners are orthodontic devices that are used to straighten the teeth. They are transparent and customized to fit individual tooth making it tooth fitting. Clear aligners are invisible and comfortable to wear. These aligners are made with 3D computer technology and have proven to be more and more effective throughout the years.
Clear aligners help to gradually push the teeth to its correct position. These aligners are made of strong plastic and cover the individual tooth. Aligners dont use brackets or wires making it an excellent alternative to braces. They are removable and hence unlike braces, they wont cause any hindrance while eating or brushing. Clear aligners are highly recommended by orthodontists to pave way for the orthodontic treatment of their patient.
Invisalign are clear aligners that are used to straighten the teeth. They are transparent trays that are customized to fit each individual tooth. These aligners are made with 3D computer technology, and are proven to be effective throughout the years as a smart alternative to braces.
Dr. Nejat recommends Invisalign for many types of cases, as they are an effective and smart alternative to the conventional braces. They are ideal for patients belonging to a wide range of ages all the way from teenagers to adults.
They are not. The comfortable aligner is perfect enough for school children as well for busy professionals. Being invisible, they are not noticeable at first. This helps the patient wear them with confidence.
As there are no metal brackets used here, these aligners will be comfortable to wear. Teenagers wont have to worry about maintaining their braces as these aligners can always be removed. This helps them brush and cleanse their teeth with ease.
Patients will only have to get them changed in every two weeks during their period of treatment. Also, patients wont be stressed, as these aligners wouldnt inhibit their smile, day-to-day activities, or have them to stop having their favorite food.
