Orthodontics
Bellevue Orthodontics
Our orthodontic services correct teeth or jaw misalignment, enhance appearances and improve chewing function. They are ideal for patients with widely spaced, crooked, or overcrowded teeth. For kids, the painless and comfortable orthodontics eliminate esteem issues associated with a less appealing smile, setting them up for a happier life.
Invisalign
Invisalign is arguably the most common orthodontic procedure for straightening crooked, protruding, crowded, and widely-spaced teeth. In this procedure, our dentist uses clear, custom-made aligners to correct teeth misalignments within 6 to 12 months. The Invisalign braces are comfortable and easy to install and maintain. You can remove and clean them on your own anytime you wish.
Fastbraces
Fastbraces simultaneously move the crown and root of misaligned teeth to give quick results. In this method, Dr. Nakada, an honored Master Provider of Fastbraces, uses an elbow-shaped bracket that uses moderate pressure to get results within 3-12 months — some people notice remarkable results within a few weeks.
Suresmile
Suresmile is one of the most innovative orthodontic braces we have today. In this procedure, our dentist uses 3D imaging, robotics, and computer analysis to determine the most precise way to correct misaligned teeth. Afterward, the specialists make fully-customized aligners that correct overcrowding, crooked, and widely spaced teeth in the shortest time possible. Suresmile reduces treatment time by 40% of traditional braces.
Reveal
In the Reveal orthodontic procedure, the dentist utilizes a set of precision-fit aligners to correct bad bites or crooked/crowded teeth. The aligners fit tightly over teeth, pulling them in the desired direction. Patients have to change to new aligners every two weeks until they achieve the desired result. You need at least 30 reveal aligners to get healthy teeth alignment. The aligners are clear, comfortable, and effective.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are still effective in correcting bad bites, eliminating gaps, and aligning crooked teeth. In this method, the dentist fixes metallic braces on the teeth’s front surface, then thread an arch wire through each bracket to properly align your teeth.
Expanders
An expander corrects crossbites, crowded, or impacted teeth during early childhood. How does it work? Specialists attach a palatal expander to the upper palate’s middle part. The expander widens the jaw gradually to the desired size, saving kids from chewing, speaking, and biting issues. Also, the expanders improve smiles, boosting the patient’s self-esteem.
Benefits of Orthodontics
- Improved chewing function: Properly aligned teeth bite and chew easily, minimizing stress on your jaws.
- Creates healthy and beautiful smiles: Orthodontics corrects bad bites and dental misalignments that could lead to a less-appealing smile.
- Eliminates severe oral issues: Orthodontics aligns teeth naturally to eliminate future complications like tooth decay, jawbone destruction, and difficulty chewing.
- Improved speech: Orthodontics eliminates misalignment issues that impair speech by preventing the tongue from moving naturally while speaking.
- Improved mental health: Crowded, crooked, badly-spaced teeth and bad bites lower self-esteem, leading to stress and depression. Orthodontics enhances the smile, making one more confident.
