Orthodontics
Dentist in Wilmington, NC
Orthodontics can have a positive impact on your health, appearance, and more.
Crooked, unevenly spaced, or misaligned teeth are harder to keep clean, which makes them more prone to tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Straight, properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean and provide a more attractive appearance. Your healthy smile can also boost your self-esteem, self-confidence, and your self-image. Healthy smiles can be achieved with the use of one of many orthodontic treatment options.
If you suffer from crooked, uneven, or misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment can help.
During your consultation with Dr. Jacob Long, we will discuss options that are best tailored to your needs. Once we agree on the most optimal treatment, our team will estimate how long your treatment cycle will last depending on a variety of factors, including:
- Early Orthodontic Intervention: Catching teeth before they shift too far can dramatically decrease the time required for orthodontic treatments to address the shifting.
- Type of Treatment: Depending on your needs, you may choose braces, elastics, aligners, or other options. The procedures and treatments you choose will affect the length of time needed to complete them.
- Compliance: Following our instructions will allow your treatment to work more quickly.
At The Dental Studio, we offer a number of advanced solutions for your treatment. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- Aligners
- Retainers
