Orthodontics treatments straighten teeth and fix bite problems in Aliso Viejo, CA

Everyone knows the power of a terrific smile – but did you know that straight teeth are also good for your oral health? When your teeth and bite are properly aligned, it reduces unnecessary wear and tear on your teeth, protects your sensitive jaw joints, and enables you to better clean your teeth with brushing and flossing at home on a daily basis. At Claire Cho DDS practice in the Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Laguna Woods, and surrounding CA areas have several orthodontics options when it comes to straightening their teeth or correcting bite problems.

Causes of tooth and bite misalignment

While your genetics do play a significant role in how your teeth and jaw develop, there are also a number of other factors that can contribute to crooked teeth or bite problems. These include:

  • Thumb sucking
  • Oral disease
  • Breathing through your mouth
  • Abnormal swallowing patterns
  • Losing your baby teeth too early or late
  • Inadequate nutrition
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Traumatic injuries

Some patients may experience more than just the cosmetic effects of misaligned teeth. Jaw pain, headaches, and neck pain are all common effects of teeth or jaw misalignment, as well as conditions such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder or wearing down of the biting surfaces on your teeth. By seeking orthodontic care, you can prevent many costly complications from these issues down the road in addition to achieving a fantastic, straight smile!

Six Month Smiles®

If you want to correct the alignment of only the front teeth that are visible when you smile, Six Month Smiles® may be right for you. This treatment uses traditional bracket-and-wire braces that are tooth-colored so they are discreet. These invisible teeth braces gently move the front teeth into their correct position in as little as six months.

Invisalign

For patients who are interested in options to straighten their teeth without braces, Invisalign can be a great choice. Using a series of custom-designed, clear aligners, your teeth are gradually shifted into a straight and healthy position—without anyone knowing you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. The aligners are switched out every two weeks for the next in the series, and we perform periodic check-ups to monitor your progress. Many patients can complete their Invisalign treatment in just 12 months.

Invisalign® is a very popular aligner where patients change the aligners every two weeks to get their teeth straight.

Patient compliance is very important. Usually, on children, we would not be using that. But we have many different types that we use.

At a consultation at Dr. Cho’s office, we would go over everything in detail to discuss and determine the right type of orthodontic treatment.


Traditional braces

Traditional metal bracket-and-wire braces are one of the most versatile orthodontic treatments available. They can be used even in severe cases of crowding, misalignment, gaps, or bite problems, and can be a great solution for many patients. Braces work by placing a gentle, yet persistent pressure on the teeth in a strategic direction to gradually move them into their optimal position. Depending on the severity of the misalignment, treatment with traditional braces generally takes between 12 and 30 months.

Are you in your growth stage and want to straighten your teeth and smile? Dr. Claire Cho offers traditional braces as a solution. Watch the video to learn more.

Traditional braces at Dr. Cho’s office are mainly used on growing children.

Metal brackets are used because we are skeletally trying to change the positioning of their teeth as they grow, and it takes anywhere between 12 – 18 months.

Traditional braces work the best if there are a lot of alignment changes to be done.

We have control of the wire, movement, and positioning of the teeth.

Straightening can be done as needed instead of depending on the patient to wear their aligners if they use a service such as Invisalign®.

Invisalign® isn’t recommended for children. Six Month Smiles® are offered to adults.

Traditional braces are usually offered to someone who has a lot of movement to make or is in their growing stage.
