What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misaligned teeth and jaw structures. Using custom-fitted appliances like braces or clear aligners, we gently shift your teeth into the right position over time.

Common Orthodontic Issues We Treat

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, crossbite
  • Open bite or jaw misalignment

Types of Orthodontic Treatments at Arya Dental

We offer a range of modern, effective options tailored to your lifestyle, age, and goals.

Orthodontics

Traditional Metal Braces

Still one of the most effective ways to correct moderate to severe misalignment. Our metal braces are sleeker and more comfortable than ever before, using strong brackets and wires to move teeth efficiently.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Prefer a less noticeable option? Ceramic braces blend with your natural tooth color for a more discreet look. Ideal for older teens and adults seeking aesthetics with performance.

Clear Aligners (Invisalign®-Style Treatment)

Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to straighten teeth gradually. These are a great choice for adults and teens with mild to moderate alignment issues who want a nearly invisible treatment option.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics isn’t only about aesthetics—it also supports long-term oral health.

Improved Function & Comfort

Properly aligned teeth improve chewing, reduce wear, and ease pressure on the jaw. This can reduce headaches, TMJ symptoms, and even speech issues.

Easier Hygiene & Healthier Gums

Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, which lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease. You’ll have a cleaner mouth and fresher breath.

Boosted Confidence

Your smile is a big part of your self-image. Many of our patients report feeling more confident at work, school, and in social situations after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics
1. What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?
Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires to shift teeth, while clear aligners (like Invisalign®) are removable plastic trays. Braces are great for more complex cases, while aligners are preferred for their discreet appearance and convenience in mild to moderate cases.
2. How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?
You may benefit from orthodontics if you have crooked teeth, bite issues (like overbite or underbite), crowding, or gaps. A professional evaluation at Arya Dental will determine if treatment is right for you.
3. Can adults get braces or Invisalign?
Yes! Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens. At Arya Dental, we help many adult patients achieve straighter smiles using both traditional braces and clear aligners.
4. How long does orthodontic treatment usually last?
The average treatment time ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Some minor alignment corrections may take as little as 6 months with clear aligners.
5. Will orthodontic treatment hurt?
You may experience mild soreness for a few days after getting braces or changing aligner trays, but the discomfort is temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
6. Are retainers necessary after treatment?
Yes. Retainers help maintain your new tooth position and prevent shifting. We offer both fixed (bonded) and removable retainers based on your needs.
7. How often do I need to visit during treatment?
For braces, you’ll typically come in every 4–6 weeks for adjustments. Clear aligner patients may come in every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress.
8. Is orthodontic treatment covered by insurance?
Many PPO dental insurance plans include orthodontic coverage, especially for children. Our team will verify your benefits and help you maximize coverage.
9. What’s the best age to start orthodontics?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends the first screening by age 7. Early evaluations can help identify jaw issues or bite misalignments before they become more complex.
10. Can orthodontics fix bite problems too?
Absolutely. Orthodontics can correct overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite, improving both function and appearance of your smile.
