Invisible Orthodontics From Your Dentists in Hamilton

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. This can include everything from crooked teeth and bite issues to problems with a misaligned jaw. At Sagewood Dental Care in Hamilton, we’re happy to offer our patients invisible orthodontics to address a number of alignment and bite issues.

Using a series of customized, computer-generated, clear plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into more desirable positions, invisible orthodontics enable patients to not only maintain their self-confidence while correcting alignment and bite issues, they can also remove the trays for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. What’s more, invisible orthodontics are more comfortable than traditional band-and-bracket braces, they eliminate damage to the front surface of teeth, and they also protect teeth from injuries that can be caused by chronic night grinding.

Which issues do invisible orthodontics address?

Along with a series of bite issues (underbite, overbite, open bite), invisible orthodontics can close gaps between teeth, realign crooked, overcrowded and overlapping teeth, and treat issues associated with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).

Of course, every smile is unique and requires a careful examination by our professionals before a specific treatment method is recommended. If you’re interested in invisible orthodontics and are wondering if you’re a candidate for treatment, call our office today to arrange a consultation!
