Orthodontics

What is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that diagnoses, prevents, and treats dental and facial irregularities. By applying gentle, controlled pressure over time, we move teeth into their ideal positions and correct jaw relationships.

Our Orthodontic Solutions

We offer a variety of treatment options to suit your lifestyle, clinical needs, and aesthetic preferences:

• Traditional Metal Braces: The most reliable and precise method for correcting complex bite issues and severe overcrowding.

• Ceramic (Clear) Braces: These use tooth-colored brackets to provide the same effectiveness as metal braces but with a much more discreet appearance.

• Clear Aligners (Invisalign/Removable): A series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth. They are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating and cleaning.

• Interceptive Orthodontics: Early treatment for children (ages 7–10) to guide jaw growth and ensure permanent teeth have enough room to erupt correctly.

• Retainers: Essential post-treatment appliances designed to “hold” your teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back.

Why Choose Specialist Care?

Choosing a Specialist Orthodontist like Dr. Basile Khayat ensures that your treatment is managed by an expert who has completed years of advanced training beyond general dentistry.

Benefits of Orthodontic Care include:

• Enhanced Aesthetics: A balanced, symmetrical smile that boosts self-esteem.

• Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are significantly easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.

• Functional Correction: Resolves issues with chewing, speech impediments, and abnormal wear on tooth enamel.

• Jaw Joint Relief: Correcting a misaligned bite can alleviate pressure on the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) and reduce associated headaches.
