Get Your Best Smile with Expert Care at The Art of Smile Dental!

Orthodontic treatment offers the clear benefit of a beautiful, confident smile with straight, well-aligned teeth and healthy gums. At The Art of Smile Dental, Dr. Segal has been transforming smiles for both children and adults for years, using the latest, most effective methods to achieve stunning results in less time.

Orthodontics for Children

Orthodontic treatment is often most effective when started before all permanent teeth have fully erupted. It’s recommended that children be assessed by age 7, when the first permanent molars and incisors typically appear. At this stage, issues like cross-bites, crowding, and misalignment can be identified, allowing us to determine the best timing and need for treatment. At The Art of Smile Dental, we emphasize early intervention using advanced European and American techniques. Early treatment can help guide the growth of the upper and lower arches, create space for incoming permanent teeth, and prevent the need for extractions. It can also address issues like thumb-sucking, abnormal swallowing, and speech problems. Essentially, early treatment can make later orthodontic care simpler and more effective.

Orthodontics for Adults

Braces aren't just for teenagers—healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so it’s never too late to enhance your dental health and achieve a beautiful smile. Orthodontic treatment is effective for adults, and many appreciate the confidence a straight smile brings. In fact, one in four patients at The Art of Smile Dental is an adult. So, why are more adults choosing braces?

Adult orthodontics offers numerous benefits, whether you're addressing bite or jaw issues, crooked or crowded teeth, or the regression that can occur after childhood braces. Correcting these issues can reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease, ultimately supporting better long-term dental health. Additionally, adult orthodontics can help alleviate headaches and jaw pain caused by misalignment.

For adults concerned about the appearance of traditional metal braces, modern technology has made treatment more comfortable and discreet. Solutions like Invisalign® clear aligners or fast-track systems with clear ceramic braces are available, making adult orthodontic treatment quicker and more convenient than ever. It's no surprise that adult orthodontics is the fastest-growing segment in orthodontic care!
