What Are Orthodontic Treatments?

Orthodontic treatments are a specific branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting teeth and jaw alignment issues. These treatments often involve devices such as braces, retainers, and aligners to gradually shift the teeth into their correct positions. Unlike general dental procedures, which primarily deal with the health and functionality of the teeth and gums (like fillings, root canals, and cleanings), orthodontic treatments aim to improve the appearance and effectiveness of your bite, smile, and overall oral health by addressing structural problems. Essentially, while all orthodontics is dentistry, not all dentistry is orthodontics.

Our team is focused on whole-family orthodontics and providing the best preventive dental care, oral hygiene education, and treatment for families in and around Chapel Hill, Durham, and Hillsborough.

And we treat patients of all ages, from children to older adults. You’re in good hands at Clifton & Mauney!

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatments

Early
Intervention

For children, early orthodontic treatment can identify and address developing issues with jaw growth and incoming teeth alignment. It can prevent or intercept skeletal problems like underbites, severe overbites, crossbites, and other jaw-related concerns.

Prevention of
Long-Term Issues

Orthodontic care can reduce the risk of future dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss. This applies to both children and adults.

Improved
Appearance

One major benefit of orthodontics, especially appreciated by teenagers and adults, is that straightening teeth and aligning the bite significantly enhances the appearance of the smile, which can boost self-esteem and confidence.

Enhanced Oral Function

Properly aligned teeth facilitate easier biting, chewing, and speaking. This improvement enhances the overall functionality of the mouth and contributes to better nutrition and speech clarity. This benefit can be especially important as we grow older.

Ease of
Cleaning

Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which helps in preventing oral health issues. This is particularly beneficial for young children learning oral hygiene habits and adults looking to preserve their dental health.

Versatility of
Treatment Options

Orthodontics has evolved with options like Invisalign, offering less noticeable and more comfortable alternatives to traditional braces. These options are especially appealing to adults who wish to correct their teeth alignment discreetly.

Improved
Self-Perception

Orthodontic treatments can help individuals of all ages feel better about themselves. A healthy, attractive smile can significantly impact personal, social, and professional interactions.

Our Orthodontic Treatments for Children and Adults

Early
Treatment

We use aligners, braces, or other smile-guiding appliances to address early childhood bite issues, keep development on track, and identify minor problems before they become more significant headaches. This kind of intervention is called “early treatment.”

Invisalign & Spark Clear Aligners

Clear aligners like Invisalign and Spark use clear plastic trays to straighten teeth over time. Patients can easily remove them to eat, drink, and brush, which makes these practically-invisible aligners a great fit for patients who want discreet and convenient treatment.

Invisalign
Teen

Invisalign Teen can be an attractive alternative to more traditional metal braces. It offers teens with certain orthodontic challenges all the benefits of Invisalign, including convenience, discretion, and an app to keep them on track.

Damon® System Braces

The Damon® System takes braces treatment to the next level! Thanks to special brackets that help increase the flexibility of your braces, we can design treatments that are often faster and more precise than traditional braces.

Braces

Modern braces have come a long way! Forget the clunky and highly visible appliances of decades past. We offer a variety of braces that can accommodate practically any lifestyle and look.

Retainers

Keeping your teeth in their new, optimal position is the final stage of orthodontic treatment. Retainers do just that. At the end of treatment, we determine which of our three retainer types works best for you!

Emergency
Orthodontics

While orthodontic emergencies are quite rare, our team at Clifton & Mauney Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry is ready to support you whether you’re dealing with a loose wire, general discomfort, or other complications.
