Our Services for Kalamazoo Orthodontics
Metal Braces
Metal braces are a cornerstone of orthodontic treatment and have been used for decades to correct a wide range of dental misalignments and bite issues. At Kwong Orthodontics, we use the latest advancements in metal brace technology to ensure our patients receive the most effective and comfortable treatment possible. These braces consist of high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires that are durable enough to handle various orthodontic adjustments.
Despite their visibility, metal braces remain a popular choice due to their reliability and efficiency in treating complex orthodontic problems. The precision they offer allows Dr. Kwong to fine-tune tooth positions effectively, ensuring optimal results for patients of all ages. They are particularly beneficial for younger patients who may need more significant corrections that other forms of treatment cannot provide.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer a cosmetic alternative to traditional metal braces, providing the same robust functionality with a subtler appearance. These braces use ceramic brackets that are either clear or colored to match the natural shade of the teeth, making them far less noticeable. Clear braces are ideal for patients, particularly adults and older teens, who might be self-conscious about the aesthetic impact of traditional braces.
At Kwong Orthodontics, we ensure that these braces are fitted precisely to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment while minimizing visual impact. Though they may require more attentive maintenance to prevent staining, the benefits of maintaining a natural appearance during treatment often outweigh this minor inconvenience. Clear braces are a perfect solution for those who seek a discreet way to achieve their best smile.
Clear Aligners
At Kwong Orthodontics, we offer clear aligners as a cutting-edge alternative to braces that are perfect for adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment. These aligners are custom-made using 3D computer imaging technology to ensure a snug, comfortable fit and precise tooth movement.
Clear aligners like Invisalign are removable, allowing patients to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease, which helps maintain excellent oral hygiene during treatment. This option is especially appealing to those who wish to avoid the dietary restrictions and oral care challenges associated with traditional braces. The treatment involves wearing a series of aligners, each for about two weeks, before moving on to the next in the series, gradually shifting teeth into the desired position without the use of metal brackets or wires.
Benefits of Orthodontics Across All Ages
Orthodontic treatment is beneficial at any age and offers significant advantages:
For Children
Early orthodontic intervention can guide the proper growth of the jaw and improve the alignment of emerging teeth. It can also help correct poor oral habits that might affect the development of the teeth and jaws.
For Teens
For teenagers, having straight teeth can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence during these formative years. Orthodontic treatment helps improve oral health and functionality, making daily oral hygiene easier.
For Adults
Adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment by correcting lifelong dental issues that might cause discomfort or further complications. Straight teeth can enhance professional interactions and maintain oral health as adults age.
