Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is not just about aesthetics; it’s also crucial for your oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Additionally, a well-aligned bite can prevent issues related to chewing, speech, and jaw joint discomfort.

FAQs about Orthodontics at My Dentist Culver City

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What types of orthodontic treatments do you offer?

At My Dentist Culver City, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, and lingual braces. Each treatment has unique benefits, and we’ll help determine which is best for your specific needs.

How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is recommended for various reasons, including crowded or crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and other jaw alignment issues. An initial consultation with our orthodontists will help determine if you need orthodontic treatment.

At what age can someone begin orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is not limited to a specific age group. While many patients are adolescents, adults can also benefit from orthodontics. The key factor is the health of the teeth and gums, not the age of the patient.

How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the individual case. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 12 to 36 months. We provide a more precise timeline during your consultation.

Is orthodontic treatment painful?

While orthodontic treatment may cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments, it’s usually minor and temporary. Any discomfort can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How often will I need to visit the orthodontist during treatment?

Typically, orthodontic patients need to visit the orthodontist every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments and monitoring. However, the frequency can vary based on the specific treatment plan.

Can I still play sports or musical instruments with braces?

Yes, you can still play sports and musical instruments with braces. We recommend wearing a mouthguard during sports to protect your braces. For wind instruments, it may take some time to adjust to playing with braces.

How should I care for my teeth during orthodontic treatment?

Proper oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. This includes regular brushing and flossing, using specialized tools for braces if necessary, and avoiding foods that can damage braces. Regular dental check-ups are also important.

Will I need to wear a retainer after my treatment?

Yes, wearing a retainer after orthodontic treatment is essential to maintain the results. Retainers help to keep your teeth in their new position. The type and duration of retainer wear will be customized to your needs.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost, and is it covered by insurance?

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the type and duration of treatment. We provide detailed cost information during your consultation. Many dental insurance plans offer some coverage for orthodontic treatment, but it’s important to check with your provider for specific details.
