Treatments

Dr. Nassiri normally recommends treatment only after all the permanent teeth have erupted. However, orthodontic treatments may prevent more serious problems from developing at a later age and make treatment shorter and less complicated.
 

Most permanent teeth will be in place around this age, the most common time for orthodontic treatment. Some teens may have started treatment at an early age and are now following up to complete their treatment.

It is never too late to have a beautiful smile. There are many valid reasons to receive orthodontic treatment. This investment will lead to much higher self-esteem and confidence. They can also alleviate many health and dental problems.

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces. Today's metal brackets are smaller and more comfortable than before.

Ceramic braces are made of tooth-colored materials and are therefore less noticeable than metal braces which is a good choice for many patients particularly adults. This option has the benefit of having less visible brackets.

Clear aligners such as Invisalign®, uses customized, clear trays that are nearly invisible and completely removable. Brushing and flossing are less of a hassle with clear aligners.

Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a treatment used to correct severe cases. If you need surgical orthodontics, your orthodontist will work with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to give you the best result as possible.

Finally, your braces have been removed and your smile is now beautiful. However, your orthodontic journey isn’t quite completed yet. You’ll have to wear a retainer to preserve and stabilize your result for a bit longer depending on your case.
