Orthodontics

The Orthodontic Department at Wellness One Day Surgery Center offers specialized care for patients who want to straighten their teeth and enhance their oral health. Our focus is correcting overcrowding, bite issues, and misalignment and improving your smile’s overall appearance. Our team works closely with each patient to create individualized treatment plans. We are dedicated to understanding your dental needs and aesthetic goals, ensuring safe and effective treatments, and facilitating long-term dental health.

Orthodontic treatments can resolve the following dental problems: 

  • Overcrowding of teeth
  • Misalignment of the dental arches
  • Bite correction (overbite; protruding upper jaw and underbite; protruding lower jaw)
  • Cosmetic-related dental issues (Missing tooth/ small tooth)
  • To move teeth in the correct position and create space to facilitate the placement of crowns, bridges, or implants
  • Problems with tooth eruption and displacement
  • Teeth spacing or gaps between teeth 

What are the types of appliances used in Orthodontics?

Appliances can be removable/ fixed or/a combination of both. Your orthodontic specialist will suggest specific treatment based on the severity of your situation.

There are multiple appliances. A few of those are mentioned here:

  • Braces for teeth positioning
  • Special fixed appliances to control thumb sucking / control tongue posture
  • Bite correction (overbite; protruding upper jaw and underbite; protruding lower jaw)
  • Space maintainers: to keep the space of a missing baby/ milk tooth open until the permanent tooth erupts    Widening of the top jaw – palatal expander

Treatments with removable appliances include:

  • Aligners (Invisalign)
  • Removable space maintainers
  • Jaw repositioning device
  • Lip and cheek bumpers or twin block appliance
