Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Orthodontic treatments like braces help move teeth that are crooked or that do not fit together right. By fixing these problems, orthodontics can also help keep your mouth healthy because crooked teeth can be harder to clean, putting you at risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease. Dr. Wong has enjoyed a long and rewarding orthodontic career. She also specializes in Invisalign Clear Braces in addition to traditional braces.
Only your dentist or orthodontist can determine whether you can benefit from orthodontics. Based on diagnostic tools, that include a full medical and dental health history, a clinical exam, plaster molds of your teeth, and special X-rays and photographs. Straightening your teeth using orthodontics will put less stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder, and back pain. The overall benefits of orthodontics include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.
