Modern braces are much less noticeable, and some patients can even be treated with practically invisible braces, called\u00a0Invisalign\u00ae<\/sup><\/b>.<\/p>\n

What is orthodontics?<\/b>
\nOrthodontics is the dental specialty for treating malocclusion<\/b>, the condition commonly referred to as \u201cbad bite\u201d. Orthodontic treatment works by exerting a gentle pressure over time to straighten teeth. The braces that exert this pressure are fitted by dental specialists called orthodontists.<\/p>\n

How do braces work?<\/b>
\nOrthodontic treatment works by exerting a gentle pressure over time to straighten teeth<\/b>. Braces exert this pressure with brackets that attach to teeth and arch wires that run from bracket to bracket. Modern dentistry has made this hardware much smaller and less visible. In some cases, Dr. Bret Gilsdorf can use brackets and wires that are transparent or attach behind the teeth. Invisalign\u00ae<\/sup><\/b> is a newer technology that uses clear appliances<\/b> that look like mouthguards. Ask our steam at Dentistry by Design<\/b><\/a> what technology is recommended for your particular circumstances.<\/p>\n

Why do some people have a bad bite?<\/b>
\nMost malocclusions or \u201cbad bites\u201d are hereditary. These inherited problems<\/b> include too much space between teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth, crowded teeth, as well as various jaw issues. Some malocclusions are acquired through prolonged thumb-sucking, early or late loss of baby teeth, or accidents. However the malocclusion developed, Dr. Gilsdorf can recommend orthodontic treatment<\/b> that corrects it.<\/p>\n

Should I get braces?<\/b>
\nDr. Gilsdorf knows that braces are a very reliable way to improve the appearance of your smile. This improvement may affect more than just your appearance as it can make you feel more attractive and more confident. We want you to have a beautiful, healthy smile<\/b> – one that you can be proud of. Many \u201cbad bite\u201d problems affect not only the teeth, but the development and appearance of the face. Malocclusion can affect the way a person looks, talks, and chews. Discuss<\/b><\/a> your particular circumstances with our team at Dentistry by Design.<\/p>\n

What age is the best to get braces?<\/b>
\nTeeth can be moved by orthodontic treatment at any age, but some treatments are more effective when one is younger. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation<\/b> for children no later than age seven. Adult patients can very often get the same results as child patient, but in some instances the treatment will take longer. Dr. Gilsdorf can show you options for your particular circumstances.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
