About Our Orthodontic Treatments

Most people who consider orthodontic treatment desire a more beautiful look for their mouths. Our orthodontic treatments focus not only on improving the appearance of your teeth, but also on the quality of yourbite.

Benefits of Orthodontics

We all know that good teeth alignment improves the appearance of your teeth. However, it also improves your ability to chew, making it easier to eat and reducing strain on your gastrointestinal tract. In some cases, a better bite can also improve other symptoms in your body, such as stiff shoulders and back pain.

With orthodontics, you can give yourself a more appealing smile and improve your overall health as well.

Negative Effects of Misaligned Teeth

Because misaligned teeth not only make it difficult for the mouth to clean itself, but are also difficult to clean by brushing, they have an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease, while they also tending to accumulate stains. In addition, depending on each individual’s bite, the brunt of their biting force may be concentrated on some teeth more than others, leading to tooth loss.

Orthodontics for Adults

Some of us may have the impression that orthodontic treatment is only for children. However, it is quite possible to start orthodontic treatment as an adult and achieve beautifully aligned teeth.

Each patient’s treatment plan for adult orthodontics is determined based on a comprehensive evaluation of each individual’s appearance, skeletal misalignments, bite misalignments, degree of unevenness, and the condition of their periodontal tissue.

Depending on the evaluation results, orthodontic treatment for some adults may involve treating a reduced number of teeth. The reason for this is the incongruities between the size of each person’s teeth and their respective support bones. In these cases, the number of treated teeth is reduced to better suit the size of the bone that serves as the supporting structure for the teeth.

At our clinic, we can develop a treatment plan that is gentle on your periodontal tissue and teeth, no matter your oral health concerns. Please feel free to consult with us regarding specific care for your mouth.

Orthodontics for Children

It is not uncommon for parents to be concerned about the misalignment of their children’s baby teeth and newly developed permanent teeth.

The best time to start orthodontic treatment for children is generally considered to be around the first grade of elementary school, before the permanent teeth come in. Of course, the best time to start orthodontic treatment varies from case to case, so parents who have concerns about their child’s teeth should feel free to consult with us at any time after their first permanent molar comes in (around age 6).

Orthodontic Treatment Available at Our Clinic

Discreet Mouthpiece Orthodontics (Invisalign)

目立たない矯正

Mouthpiece orthodontic treatment (Invisalign) is a more comfortable alternative to traditional wire orthodontic treatment (braces), because it is transparent, less noticeable, and less painful.

During treatment, the patient wears a transparent mouthpiece, called an aligner, and by gradually changing the shape of the aligners, the teeth are moved into their correct positions.

Orthodontic treatment is recommended for those who want to have beautifully aligned teeth but do not want those around them to notice the treatment.
