ELIGIBILITY
Who is Orthodontic Treatment for?
Orthodontic treatment isn’t only for teenagers. Many adults choose to address alignment concerns they’ve lived with for years, and with clear aligner options now widely available, teeth straightening in Marion is more accessible than it’s ever been. Orthodontic treatment may be appropriate if you’re looking for:
- Crooked teeth treatment or a crowded teeth solution
- Overbite correction or underbite correction
- Bite problems treatment affecting your jaw comfort
- A way to fix misaligned teeth affecting your appearance or function
We will assess your teeth and bite at your consultation and advise whether orthodontic treatment is clinically appropriate for your situation. Not all alignment concerns require orthodontic treatment. In some cases, cosmetic options such as veneers or bonding may be more suitable, and we’ll discuss all relevant options with you.
YOUR OPTIONS
Braces and Clear Aligners in Marion
Traditional braces
Traditional metal braces use a system of brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires, which apply consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into their correct positions.
Braces are well-suited to a wide range of alignment and bite concerns, particularly more complex cases where a high degree of control over tooth movement is required.
Spark clear aligners
Spark aligners are a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made, removable trays to gradually shift teeth into alignment. Each tray is worn for a set period before being replaced with the next in the series, with progress monitored through regular check-up appointments. Patients who have heard of clear aligner systems such as Invisalign will find that Spark aligners work on a similar principle.
Because they’re removable, Spark aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, and cleaning. They’re also made from a clear material, making them less visible than traditional braces during wear.
Clear aligner treatment is not suitable for all cases: Dr Asha will assess which option is clinically appropriate for your situation at your consultation.
