Discover a Straighter Smile
Orthodontic challenges can affect individuals of all ages, and it's a rarity to be born with perfectly aligned teeth. Conditions like malocclusion, commonly referred to as a "bad bite," can have a significant impact on chewing, oral hygiene, speech, and aesthetics.
Malocclusion may result from various factors, including genetics, thumb-sucking, dental issues, poor oral hygiene, accidents, birth defects, or other medical conditions. At Kwong Orthodontics, we combine state-of-the-art technology with the expertise to effectively address a wide range of dental concerns, including:
- Gaps between teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Protruding teeth
- Impacted teeth
Brace Yourself for Options
While most of our patients at Kwong Orthodontics opt for traditional metal braces to enhance their smiles, we understand that choices matter. Metal braces are a popular choice in Portage, but we also offer alternatives tailored to your specific needs.
After your free consultation, Dr. Kwong will discuss the treatment options that best align with your unique needs and smile goals.
Fixed or Removable? You Decide.
At Kwong Orthodontics, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge about their orthodontic journeys. Understanding the basics is the first step toward correcting any orthodontic issue.
In the realm of orthodontics, it's crucial to distinguish between fixed and removable appliances. Dr. Kwong affixes fixed appliances like braces to your teeth, ensuring they remain in place until your treatment concludes at Kwong Orthodontics.
Alternatively, if Dr. Kwong prescribes a removable appliance, such as Invisalign's aligner system, you'll wear it for most of the day, with the flexibility to remove the trays when needed.
Apart from the obvious differences, it's important to note that at Kwong Orthodontics, we utilize Invisalign aligners primarily for addressing mild to moderate orthodontic issues.
For comprehensive and more severe treatments, Dr. Kwong typically recommends fixed appliances. Your smile transformation is in your hands at Kwong Orthodontics.
