What Are Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. These irregularities often relate to the alignment of teeth and jaws, which can result in functional and aesthetic concerns. Orthodontics aims to help patients achieve a straight, harmonious, and functional bite, ensuring they can confidently smile and chew their food without issues.

Orthodontic treatment is not only about aesthetics; it also plays a vital role in improving oral health. Misaligned teeth can make it difficult to clean between them, increasing the risk of dental problems like cavities and gum disease.

Additionally, orthodontic treatment can address overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crowded teeth, leading to discomfort and speech problems. Dr. Trinh is experienced in providing orthodontic care to patients of all ages, offering personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs.

Oral Appliances: Mouth Guards, Night Guards, and Sleep Appliances

In addition to straightening your teeth, we offer a range of oral appliances that can improve oral health and overall quality of life. These include mouthguards, night guards, and sleep appliances.

Mouth Guards

Mouthguards are essential for playing sports or grinding their teeth at night. Sports mouth guards protect your teeth from injury during physical activities. Mouth guards are customized to provide a comfortable fit and optimal protection.

Night Guards

Nighttime teeth grinding can cause considerable damage to your teeth and lead to various oral health issues. Dr. Trinh can provide custom-made night guards to alleviate the effects of bruxism, helping you sleep soundly and protect your teeth from unnecessary wear.

Sleep Appliances

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that can have profound health implications. We offer sleep appliances that can help manage sleep apnea by keeping your airway open and ensuring a good night's sleep. These appliances are custom-fitted to provide comfort and effectiveness.

Retainers

After completing your orthodontic treatment, retainers are crucial to maintaining the results. They help keep your teeth in their new positions and prevent any relapse. Dr. Trinh will guide you on properly using and caring for your retainers to ensure your beautiful smile remains intact for years.
