Orthodontics is a set of procedures that are used to correct issues of wrongly positioned teeth. You do not have to feel downcast if you were unfortunate enough to develop improperly positioned jaws and teeth. Here at Egger Orthodontics, we have professional orthodontists who can re-position your teeth or jaw, and restore your smile.
Misplaced or crooked teeth are a nuisance. They are not only unappealing to the eye but also difficult to clean. This could easily lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. They can be easily lost in such cases. It is always important for children from the age of six or seven to be checked, and Issaquah early orthodontics is conducted if necessary.
Braces Issaquah
Orthodontics can be conducted on adults too, but the procedures are a bit more complicated as opposed to those used on a kid. Jaw repositioning procedures are easier on adults whose problems started being worked on while they were still young as well. Our orthodontists will make the process as seamless as possible, and the results will be worth the hassle. You will end up with a great appearance that will allow you to smile wider, and strong teeth that can last a lifetime.
It would help if you were examined closely by our dentists so that they can determine whether you are eligible for orthodontics. Your dental health history, x-rays, and plaster models of your dental structure will tell whether you are eligible for orthodontics. Orthodontics will not be recommended if it is established that they could cause further complications in your mouth.
Orthodontics will help rectify conditions such as overbites, crossbites, open bites, underbites, spacing, crowding, and misplaced midlines. All these are conditions in which either your upper or lower teeth are not in a proper position for one reason or the other.
Invisalign® Issaquah
If you would like to correct your teeth without metal braces, then Invisalign is for you. Invisalign aligners are clear, removable trays made from a digital scan (YEP no GOOPY molds) that work gradually, and gently shift your teeth into alignment for a straight beautiful healthy smile.
The smooth, comfortable plastic of the aligners does not irritate the gums and cheeks, causes less tooth pain, and allows you to eat whatever foods you enjoy. It also allows brushing and flossing for better dental health, fewer appointments than traditional braces, less time in the orthodontic chair, and you can whiten your teeth as you are on the way to a beautiful smile.
Invisalign® Teen Issaquah
Unlike traditional braces that use wires and brackets, the Invisalign Teen system straightens your teeth with a series of clear, smooth, comfortable plastic aligners that you wear for at least 22 hours every day. Every week, you insert a new aligner, gradually straightening your teeth into their optimal position. It’s that easy! And because Invisalign Teen aligners are clear and fit smoothly onto your teeth, your friends will only notice your smile, not your orthodontic treatment.
