Orthodontist in Miami-Dade County!
Common Orthodontic Treatments
We provide orthodontic treatments for a wide range of dental problems. This includes:
Crowding involves a lack of space for all your teeth to fit within the jaws. It happens when there is a lack of coordination in the size of the tooth and jaw or when the teeth are larger than the space available. It can also be a result of improper eruption or early or late loss of primary teeth.
We suggest timely correction as teeth crowding can create the following problems:
- Preventing proper cleaning
- Dental decay
- Preventing proper functioning
- Increasing chances of gum disease
- Affecting your smile
Spacing involves gaps between the teeth. This will usually occur when the teeth are smaller than the available space. Some of the common causes include missing teeth, impacted teeth, protrusive teeth, and abnormal tissue growth on the gums. If this problem is not treated, it can cause:
- Gum problems
- Prevent proper teeth functioning
- Affect your smile
Overbite usually occurs in older adults. Dr. Jones may suggest braces or jaw surgery to treat major overbite. The duration of the treatment will depend on how complex the problem is.
Underbite problems can cause discomfort in your jaw joint and faster wear on the teeth. We can provide customized treatments to make it easier for you to chew on food and smile. The duration of the treatment will depend on the complexity of the problem and your age.
You may have missing lateral incisors from your birth. We can treat this dental problem by straightening the teeth and replacing your lost teeth.
If you have an overjet, your top set of teeth will extend beyond the bottom. We will straighten the teeth before following up with a second treatment focusing on the smooth growth of the jaws. This will bring forth a better and healthier smile.
We also provide two-phase orthodontic therapy. It involves tooth straightening and modifications. The multi-phase therapy focuses on improving the functional and aesthetic results. Any delay in treatment can increase the chances of requiring more invasive treatment later on. We suggest starting the treatment as early as possible.
As a reputed North Miami Beach Orthodontist, Dr. Jones and our team specialize in all the different types of braces and aligners. We can help you choose the perfect orthodontic appliances based on your unique treatment requirements.
These are the most common types of braces and we provide high-quality stainless-steel braces to straighten your teeth. They are much more comfortable than in the past and you can choose colored elastics to make your smile more colorful and unique.
Gold braces are gold-plated, stainless steel braces and are similar to traditional metal braces, except that they are coated with gold. Some of the key benefits of these braces include:
- Resistance to bacteria
- Safe and non-toxic, as gold is less reactive than other metals
- Easier shaping
- Anti-inflammatory properties
Contrary to common belief, gold braces are reasonably affordable.
Self-ligating braces can be made of stainless steel, ceramics, or clear brackets. They don’t need elastics and thus require fewer visits to our office. They are also similar in size to metal braces but make use of a unique clip to assist the archwire guide teeth into place.
Clear braces are made of ceramic and are perfect for those who want to have inconspicuous orthodontic appliances. We will usually use these braces on adults or older teenagers who give priority to their appearance. These braces are usually used on upper front teeth.
We also provide orthodontic treatment services using clear aligners, lingual braces, and Invisalign. Besides, we also provide Non-braces treatment. We stand out from the crowd for our personalized approach to treatment, a fun office atmosphere, and emphasis on informed care.
