Get The Best Orthodontic Treatment In Port Washington
If you feel insecure about your smile and don’t like the way your teeth function, then you should visit our Orthodontist in Port Washington, NY. We understand how protruding, misaligned, crooked, or gap teeth can take a toll on one’s appearance. It’s not only about the aesthetics, but it can also put you at a higher risk for tooth decay, periodontal disease, headaches, TMJ disorder, achy jaw muscles, & more.
How Orthodontic Treatment Works
Gone are the days of bulky braces. Choose from thin, clear brackets or skip them altogether and straighten your smile with invisible aligners. Both options provide a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, slowly moving teeth to the proper position.
Orthodontic Care
Orthodontic care is about more than just cosmetics and a straight smile. Improper alignment can cause jaw pain and chewing dysfunction. Overcrowded teeth can be more susceptible to decay and the surrounding gums are more likely to develop periodontal disease.
Braces
Traditional braces are a staple in orthodontics, including metal braces, lingual braces (placed on the inside of the teeth), and ceramic braces. These braces consist of brackets attached to the teeth, with wires connecting them. Dentists adjust the wires periodically to guide tooth movement.
Invisalign®
If the thought of metal braces is stopping you from claiming the smile you want, you’re going to love this! At Gold Coast Family Dental of Port Washington, we love helping our patients transform their smiles… under the radar.
Invisalign® is a system that uses a personalized series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing.
There’s so much to love about Invisalign®!
