Orthodontics in Palm Beach

Alignment for Your Teeth & Jaw

At Dental Haus, we provide orthodontic treatment for Palm Beach patients.

A beautifully straight smile can look extremely attractive, but many people do not have perfectly aligned teeth. This is where orthodontics can be useful. Here at Dental Haus, we can help your family gain a straighter smile.

Orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance, health and function of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontic means “straight teeth”. It is the branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws.

Invisalign Clear Aligners Treatment

Invisalign is one of the most sought-after orthodontic treatments.

Invisalign clear aligners allow you to gradually straighten your teeth without sacrificing your smile aesthetic in the meantime. Invisalign is affordable, straightforward, and essentially invisible to the naked eye. It is effective at permanently straightening teeth and perfecting smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can orthodontics be used to fix the alignment of my teeth?

Orthodontics can be used to fix the alignment of your teeth in a number of different ways. The most common is braces, which are used to gradually move your teeth into the correct position. Invisalign is another option that uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. There are also several other treatments that can be used depending on your individual needs.

Why is it important to have alignment of my teeth and jaw?

There are several reasons why it’s important to have alignment of your teeth and jaws. Having aligned teeth can improve your oral health, as it’s easier to clean them when they’re in the correct position. This will help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. And then of course, there’s the aesthetic reasons too.

Correctly aligned jaws can help improve any speech and chewing issues you may be suffering from that originate from misalignment; in addition to headaches, which can often be caused by teeth grinding (bruxism).

How long do I need to keep my braces on?

The amount of time you need to keep your braces on will depend on the severity of your misalignment. In general, traditional braces can take around 18 to 24 months to achieve the desired results. However, this can vary from person to person. For Invisalign, a typical treatment time is around 12 months, although this can also vary depending on individual needs. Your dentist will be able to provide an indication of time upon assessment and then keep you updated every check-up.

Do braces hurt?

The short answer is no; braces don’t typically hurt. However, you may experience some discomfort when they’re first fitted or when they’re adjusted. This discomfort is usually because your teeth are moving and adjusting to the braces, but it should quickly settle down.
If you ever experience pain, be sure to let your dentist know so they can adjust the braces accordingly.

For Invisalign, you may experience some discomfort when you first put in a new aligner, but this should also settle down quickly.
