At Christine L. Mai, DDS, PC, we offer comprehensive orthodontic services, including braces, to help our patients achieve straighter, healthier smiles. Dr. Christine Mai and our experienced team are dedicated to providing personalized orthodontic treatment to patients of all ages.
Why Choose Braces?
Braces are a tried-and-true solution for correcting misaligned teeth and achieving a properly aligned bite. They can address a wide range of dental issues, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Crossbite
- Jaw misalignment
Orthodontic treatment with braces can not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also improve your oral health and overall well-being. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues. Additionally, a properly aligned bite can alleviate strain on your jaw joints and muscles, reducing the risk of TMJ disorders and related symptoms.
The Treatment Process
When you choose braces as your orthodontic treatment, our expert team will guide you through each step of the process. This typically involves:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Mai will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if braces are the right option for you. We will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan.
- Placement: If braces are recommended, we will carefully attach the brackets to your teeth and secure them with an archwire. We will provide you with instructions on proper oral hygiene, diet modifications, and any necessary follow-up appointments.
- Adjustments: Throughout your treatment, you will visit our office periodically for adjustments. During these appointments, we will make any necessary modifications to the wires and brackets to continue the progress of your treatment.
- Completion and Retention: Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, we will remove the braces. To maintain your newly straightened smile, we may provide you with a retainer to wear as directed. Retainers help prevent orthodontic relapse and ensure long-lasting results.
