What Is Orthodontics?

An orthodontist is examining a patient's teeth.

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on improving facial symmetry by correcting bite misalignments. This can include addressing issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, rotated teeth, and jaw problems.

Not only does orthodontic treatment enhance the appearance of your smile, but it also has long-term benefits for your overall dental health. Straightened teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of future dental issues.

At Hidden Valley Orthodontics, we act with integrity in our innovative approach to individualized patient care. Our fabulous and inspired team will deliver a memorable experience when addressing your orthodontic concerns.

Types of Orthodontic Treatment We Offer

Invisalign

Are you interested in Invisalign? You should be! Invisalign is an easy, unobtrusive way to straighten your teeth. It is a great option for adults, teens, and children who want to avoid the appearance of traditional metal braces and remain uninhibited during their orthodontic journey.

One of the benefits of clear aligners is that they are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and fewer food restrictions. However, they must be worn for 22-23 hours a day, except while eating. Typically, patients switch to a new set of aligners every week, but in some cases, the treatment may be accelerated with more frequent aligner changes.

Hidden Valley Orthodontics was an early adopter of Invisalign, and we are one of the nation’s top providers! You can trust that our fabulous and inspired team has the expertise to provide treatment that will change your smile – and your life!

Braces

Orthodontic treatment with braces can improve your bite and give you a stunning smile. We offer a wide range of cutting-edge and sophisticated braces options to suit your needs.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces, also known as clear braces, are an orthodontic appliance that uses a transparent material to blend in with the patient’s smile. They are durable and less noticeable than traditional metal braces, making them a popular choice for teens and adults.

Early Treatment

Early orthodontic treatment can begin around age 7 when the upper and lower adult teeth start to erupt. A visit to an orthodontist for an initial examination can help identify any early or developing problems and determine the timing of follow-up appointments to evaluate growth and development.

Retainers & Retention

Retainers are an essential part of orthodontic treatment, as they help maintain the beautiful results achieved by the braces. There are various types of retainers available depending on the severity of the initial problem, whether the patient is a child or adult, and if any additional intervention is needed after treatment.
