Why Get Your Orthodontic Treatment From Us?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention and correction of
irregularities of the teeth, jaws, and bite. Orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance,
alignment, and function of your teeth and jaws, and it can also help to avoid future problems
with your teeth and jaws.
With that in mind, Galleria Dental Arts are the best dental clinic to get the job done right. We
understand the unique differences in orthodontic needs for children, teens, and adults. With that, we have a team of highly skilled and experienced orthodontists who are dedicated to providing the best possible care for our patients.
So whether you’re a child, teen, or adult, you can trust us to bring back confidence in your smile!

Orthodontics for Kids

It’s never too early to start thinking about your child’s smile. At Galleria Dental Arts, we offer
orthodontic treatment for kids as young as seven-years-old. After all, The American Association
of Orthodontists recommends that children first see an orthodontist around age seven.
At this age, many children have teeth that are beginning to come in, and an orthodontist can
spot problems with the way the teeth are growing. While some children may not need
orthodontic treatment at this age, others may benefit from early treatment. Early treatment can
help to:
● Guide teeth into the proper position;
● Reduce the need for tooth extractions;
● Reduce the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth;
● Improve the fit of dental appliances later on;
If your child does need orthodontic treatment, there are a variety of options available, from
traditional metal braces to clear aligners like Invisalign. That being said, not every child needs
orthodontic treatment.
We’ll carefully assess your child’s smile and bite to determine whether treatment is necessary. If
we do recommend treatment, we’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your
child’s unique needs.
We’ll also take your child’s lifestyle and preferences into account to ensure that treatment is as
convenient and comfortable as possible. Orthodontic treatment can be a big investment, but it’s
one that can pay off in the long run.
A healthy, beautiful smile is something that your child will be able to enjoy for a lifetime! To learn

When is the Best Time to Get Braces?

It’s no secret that orthodontics for teenagers can be a bit of a controversial topic. Some parents
feel that their child is too young to consider braces, while others believe that the sooner their
child gets braces, the better. So, what’s the truth? When is the best time for your teenager to get braces?
The answer, unfortunately, is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, though
most would agree dental braces can be done when most of the child’s adult teeth have grown
in. This is usually between ages 8 and 14. However, there are a few general things that you
should keep in mind when making the decision.
For starters, it’s important to remember that the earlier your child gets braces, the shorter their
treatment will be. This is because a child’s teeth are still growing and shifting, so they will
respond well to orthodontic treatment.
In contrast, an adult’s teeth are much more set in place, which means that it will take longer to
see results

Orthodontics for Teenagers

Orthodontic treatment can improve more than just the aesthetics of your teen’s smile. In fact,
there are many benefits to orthodontic treatment, including:
● Improved oral health: Orthodontic treatment can help to improve your teen’s oral health
by correcting alignment issues that can cause problems with brushing and flossing.
● Improved self-esteem: For many teens, orthodontic treatment can be a huge boost to
their self-esteem. Having straight teeth can make them feel more confident in their
appearance, which can carry over into other areas of their life.
● Improved speech: Orthodontic treatment can also help to improve your teen’s speech.
If your teen has alignment issues that are causing them to mispronounce certain words,
orthodontic treatment can help to correct that.
● Improved chewing: Orthodontic treatment can also help to improve your teen’s
chewing. If your teen has alignment issues that are causing them to chew improperly,
orthodontic treatment can help to correct that and improve their overall oral health.
The best part? Gone are the awkward days when your teen has no choice but to wear a mouth
full of metal—with the advent of Invisalign, you have more orthodontic treatment options to
explore.

Orthodontics for Adults

If you never received orthodontic treatment as a child and are struggling with issues such as
crooked or crowded teeth, overbites and underbites, and jaw joint disorders, you may want to
consider receiving orthodontic treatment as an adult.
The treatment process for adults is different than for children because adults are no longer
growing. This means that the braces will need to be worn for a longer period of time, usually 3
years. Once the braces are removed, you will likely need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in
place.
If you are considering orthodontic treatment as an adult, be sure to consult with our qualified
orthodontist. Our team at Galleria Dental Arts will assess your individual needs and develop a
treatment plan that is right for you.
