Braces and Expanders
Teeth have to start somewhere. Have an embarrassing overbite or a gap that's keeping that smile from showing? Let us take a look and recommend treatment options. We offer in-office installations.
Things to Avoid
- Excessively chewy or crunchy foods
- Gum
- Chewing of hard non-food substances
Night Guards
Excessive jaw clenching and bruxism can accelerate tooth and jaw deterioration. To help our patients most comfortably avoid this, we customize night guards to their bite.
What Are the Causes of Teeth Grinding?
- Stress or anxiety
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Certain medications or recreational drugs
Invisible Alignment
There are various ways to correct crooked or crowded teeth without the use of traditional braces. One method involves attaching brackets and wires to the back of your teeth. In this case, extra oral hygiene is paramount and you will have to use a special flossing tool.
Another technique works by way of placing in sequence clear, hard plastic retainers over your teeth. Each varies in shape and is customized to your bite. They must be removed for eating and may influence your speech. Whether you are an adult or a teen, our orthodontist will help you decide which method is best for you. Contact Mark J. Mele, DMD
