Are you an adult with uneven or overcrowded teeth? You may not have been able to receive orthodontic care as a child or teenager, but that does not mean it is too late to align them now. At Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatrics in New York, we offer orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages. In today’s blog, we will be focusing on alignment options for adults.
Braces, Invisalign, and other means of achieving a straight smile are very common in today’s world. Having a symmetrical smile is often desired because it may look more appealing and boost your confidence. There are several benefits to having properly aligned teeth. Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatrics in New York can help patients achieve this. In today’s blog, we will be discussing the benefits of orthodontic treatment.
The orthodontic process may start sooner than you realize. Before braces, or Invisalign, can begin, your little one may need to have some treatments done beforehand. At their initial consultation, your Shirley Orthodontics team will complete a thorough examination and take X-rays for records. Then, they can determine if any other treatments will be necessary before alignment. In today’s blog, we will be discussing what this may require.
Losing baby teeth is a normal part of growing up for your child. However, if this happens too soon, it can cause problems with their alignment. Premature loss can be caused by accidents or health conditions. When this happens, it is essential to have a space maintainer inserted as soon as possible to prevent the other teeth from shifting around. In today’s blog, your Shirley, NY orthodontics and pediatrics is here to explain how this works.
When it comes to your little one’s dental care, prevention is the best measure to take. However, if something does harm their pearly whites, it is important to seek restorative treatments. At Shirley Orthodontics & Pediatrics in Shirley, NY, we have several options to keep your kid’s smile intact. For instance, if your kid’s tooth has been damaged from an injury, decay, or other problem, we can use a dental crown to protect it from further problems.
In recent blogs, we have discussed ways to prevent cavities – such as with fluoride and sealants – and treating them with fillings when needed. However, if the decay becomes more severe, other solutions may be necessary. In some cases, a pulpotomy may be used to restore the tooth before the pulp is permanently damaged. Today, your Shirley Orthodontics & Pediatrics is here to explain the difference between a root canal and pulpotomy.
In our last blog, we discussed how fluoride and sealants can provide an extra boost against tooth decay. Your child’s first set of baby teeth is just as important to take care of as the permanent set. If your little one ends up with a cavity, a filling can be used to stop the growth of a cavity and restore their pearly white. Today, your Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatrics in New York is here to explain how this process works.
Your child’s dental health is just as important as your own, maybe even more. We know how difficult it can be to get your little one to take proper care of their smiles. As they learn how to brush and floss, they may miss some areas and end up with cavities. To keep their teeth protected from decay, we offer fluoride and sealants to add an extra layer of defense to your child’s pearly whites. In today’s blog, your Shirley, NY, dentist is here to explain how these treatments can help.
