We do a LOT of orthodontics in our practice and we love doing it! In fact, we
often find ourselves treating patients of all ages from adolescents to Mom's and
Dad's are interested in having their teeth straightened too.
|
|
So whether you're of the younger set, or one of the rest of us -- we are fully
qualified to offer you clear or metal braces --in addition to various retainers
and appliances.
|
|
Orthodontics is essentially the use of various retainers, brackets and wires to
fix irregular bites or misaligned teeth. While there may be a cosmetic component
for our patients wishing to pursue orthodontics, if left untreated, orthodontic
problems can lead to painful jaw problems, headaches, gum disease or cavities if
teeth are overcrowded and are difficult to keep clean.
|
|
If it is determined that orthodontic treatment is right for you, Dr. Zajacz can
discuss what options are best and how long you can expect to wear your braces.
|
|
For the most part, treatment lasts between 12 and 18 months depending on your
situation and we are able to place braces that are much more discreet that the
ones we saw years ago. We hear over and over from our younger and adult patients
alike "that the result was well worth the wait".
|
|
New and existing patients who wish to seek orthodontic treatment generally set up
an orthodontic consultation that is set up in two parts. The first appointment
includes an orthodontic exam, impressions of the teeth for fabrication of models,
photographs and x-rays. The second appointment is an opportunity for Dr. Zajacz to
sit down with you to discuss his diagnosis and to set out an appropriate treatment
plan.
