What Makes Magnolia Family Dental and Orthodontics Special?

Orthodontic treatment involves relocating or straightening teeth to improve their appearance and function. By dispersing the biting pressure across all of your teeth, it can also help to maintain the long-term health of your teeth, gums, and jaw joints.

Many people face issues related to having crooked or crowded teeth. They can benefit from undergoing orthodontic therapy. It can help improve the teeth’ appearance and similarly correct one’s bite.

Some people have unsightly projecting top front teeth. These ‘prominent’ teeth are more prone to damage, but orthodontic treatment can help them straighten out. Alternatively, the way the upper and lower jaws meet can contribute to unattractive teeth and an improper bite. Both of these disorders may be helped by orthodontic therapy.

When the adjacent teeth don’t meet correctly, the muscles in the jaw are strained, resulting in the jaw and joint difficulties, as well as headaches. Orthodontic treatment can help you bite more evenly and reduce the stress you exert on your teeth.

Your Questions, Answered

Orthodontics, also known as dentofacial orthopedics, is a specialized branch of dentistry that concentrates on identifying, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities.

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has received two to three years of additional training and experience. Dr. Clinton Emerson is able to straighten teeth, correct misaligned jaw structure, and improve the function of your smile.

If you want to improve the look and feel of your smile, then any age can be a great time to see the orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit an orthodontist around the age of seven; however, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens. About one in every five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. (Dr. Clinton Emerson has even improved the smiles of patients in their 80s!) Whether you’re considering treatment for yourself or for a child, any age is a good time to visit the orthodontist.

  • A more attractive smile
  • Better function of the teeth
  • Possible increase in self-confidence
  • Increased ability to clean the teeth
  • Improved force distribution and wear patterns of the teeth
  • Better long-term health of teeth and gums
  • Permanent teeth guided into more favorable positions
  • Reduced risk of injury to protruding front teeth
  • Aid in optimizing other dental treatments

Treatment times vary on a case-by-case basis, but the average time is 12-24 months. Actual treatment time can be affected by rate of growth and severity of the necessary correction. Treatment length is also dependent upon patient compliance. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping regular appointments are important in keeping treatment time on schedule.

Our orthodontist in Magnolia, TX offers various orthodontic treatments to help our patients straighten their teeth. Our dentist will first examine your teeth, identify the orthodontic issue and discuss the desired results. At Emerson Orthodontics: Dr. Ari Valverde, we provide the highest quality treatments to ensure your comfort and improve your appearance. Our Orthodontist uses the latest technology and equipment to ensure you get the best smile without any discomfort. We also provide a wide range of services and specialize in braces in Magnolia, TX.

If you are suffering from any of the issues mentioned below, make sure you visit the Magnolia, TX Orthodontist.

  • If your crowded teeth overlap and you find it difficult to clean your teeth.
  • If you have an overbite, where your bottom teeth disappear while biting down.
  • If you have underbite where your bottom teeth will overlap your top teeth.
  • If you have an open bite, which creates a gap between your upper and bottom teeth.
  • If your child has thumb or finger-sucking habits beyond a certain age.
  • If you have gapped teeth that cause food to get stuck.
  • If you have TMJ pain causing headaches, locked jaw, tiredness, etc.
