Braces

Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry provides comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. Our experienced and knowledgeable team can create a beautiful, healthy smile by using state-of-the-art orthodontic techniques and equipment.

What Do Braces Do?

Braces apply gentle pressure to move a patient’s teeth into proper alignment, correct an uneven bite, and can help treat jaw joint disorders. Treatment time is case-specific and dependent on age, how well the patient cooperates with the treatment, and the severity of the dental issues.

Orthodontic treatment is available and suitable for patients of all ages. Interestingly, research shows that one in five orthodontic patients are adults. It is never too late to have straight teeth. During your consultation, ask us about the various orthodontic options we offer, including tooth-colored braces or the clear way to straighten teeth with Invisalign® aligners.

Orthodontic care options at Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry include the following

Tooth-Colored Brackets

These are ideal for individuals who want to make their braces less noticeable. Unlike traditional metal brackets, tooth-colored brackets are made of durable dental ceramic material which can match the color of your natural teeth.

The benefits of tooth-colored brackets make having braces, particularly as an adult, even better!

Functional Orthodontics

This orthodontic philosophy focuses on repositioning the upper and lower jaws to create a better profile, a comfortable bite, and straighter teeth. Functional orthodontics can be used to expand sinuses. It can even be used to help with breathing problems or sleep breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea.

Neuromuscular Orthodontics

Neuromuscular orthodontics focuses on straightening teeth for proper alignment by creating an optimal bite. Usually used as a phase of TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) therapy, neuromuscular orthodontics can correct any shift in jaw position that occurs due to TMJ disorder.

Other Orthodontic Treatment Options

Ebrahimian Integrative Dentistry also has a couple of treatment methods available as alternatives to traditional braces. Click here to learn more about our use of the ALF and Crozat appliances—two versions of a light wire appliance that uses light wire forces to straighten teeth.

We also are a certified provider for Invisalign® clear aligners, which uses several sets of clear aligners to straighten teeth.
