Orthodontics is a specialized area of dentistry focused on correcting dental and facial irregularities. This includes the alignment of teeth, jaws, and bite patterns. At Dental Arts of Hastings-on-Hudson, our goal is not only to improve the appearance of your smile but also to enhance your oral function and long-term dental health.
Why Orthodontic Treatment Is Important
Orthodontic care does much more than straighten teeth. It also helps:
- Prevent Tooth Decay & Gum Disease: Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to clean, leading to plaque buildup and oral health issues.
- Improve Chewing and Speaking: A properly aligned bite makes everyday functions easier and more comfortable.
- Reduce Jaw Pain & TMJ Problems: Orthodontics can help relieve stress on the jaw and reduce headaches or discomfort caused by misaligned bites.
- Boost Self-Confidence: A well-aligned smile can transform how you feel about yourself socially and professionally.
Our Orthodontic Services in Hastings-on-Hudson
We offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic treatments for children, teens, and adults:
Traditional Braces
A reliable solution for complex alignment issues, metal braces have evolved to be more comfortable and efficient than ever before.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Discreet, comfortable, and removable, Invisalign offers a modern alternative to braces. Ideal for adults and teens, Invisalign trays are custom-fit to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position without brackets or wires.
Early Orthodontic Evaluations
We recommend that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early detection of alignment issues allows for simpler and more effective treatment.
