Orthodontics
Orthodontia is the specialty of dentistry that treats improper bites and crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment can help fix the teeth and set them in the right place, with the use of braces and clear aligners to set the patient's teeth.
Our comprehensive orthodontic treatments for children and adults include the following:
- Invisalign for teens and adults
- Growth monitoring and guidance for young children
- Habit appliances
- Adult treatment for molar up-righting in preparation for bridges and implants
- Comprehensive treatment of severe malocclusions in conjunction with jaw surgery when needed
- Treatment of mild crowding with lingual braces (placed on the insides of the teeth) in as little as six months
Dr Engelbrecht uses x-rays to help patients and parents see and understand the nature of the orthodontic condition, and will thoroughly discuss the treatment options available.
