Why orthodontics?

Crooked teeth and an assymetric smile is common and can cause both low self-esteem and problems with dental health. Lentini Dental is experienced in orthodontics and offers modern techniques to straighten your teeth.

There are several different reasons you should fix crooked teeth. Mostly, the demand for correction is for the appearance and the alignment of the teeth in the smile line. Treatment can thus strengthen self-confidence by giving you a beautiful smile. But equally important are the benefits that orthodontics deliver for oral health. Straight teeth allow better hygiene and reduces the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

Orthodontics is the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws, and involves the use of corrective appliances such as braces and removable orthodontic appliances to bring the bone structure and teeth into proper alignment. Using an Orthopaedic Orthodontic philosophy, we focus on the functional influence of the growth and development of the face. We can positively influence how the face develops.

Early Diagnosis

As a strong believer in functional orthodontic therapy (Orthopaedic treatment) Lentini Dental’s focus is on early orthodontic treatment. Because an early diagnosis can produce the best possible results, children around the age of 8 years of age are recommended to consult with Dr Lentini if orthodontic concerns arise.

Importantly, orthodontic treatment leads not only to a beautiful smile, but to the overall health and function of the teeth and jaw. Where required, Invisible braces (Lingual Orthodontics), Clear Aligners, ceramic braces (clear braces) are also available.
