Orthodontics is About More Than Straight Teeth
Sacramento Wellness Orthodontics... a modern approach to orthodontic treatment.
There is no age limit on an orthodontic correction. While it is true that the teeth can move more quickly in children and teens, adults of all ages can enjoy the benefits that orthodontic treatment can provide.
A different approach to orthodontics.
The focus of almost all orthodontic practitioners today is crooked teeth, the straightening of which are the bread and butter of the orthodontic trade.
A beautiful cosmetic result is extremely important to us. Everyone wants a beautiful smile.
At Sacramento Wellness Orthodontics, our approach begins with the consideration of:
- the overall health of the patient,
- how orthodontic treatment might contribute to the improvement of other related systems or conditions,
- the fundamental and structural components of the face including joint and muscle functions,
- and airway development.
We offer a full range of orthodontic solutions for children, teens, and adults.
The type and extent of treatment are different for each individual.
Some people need just a minor correction, while others may require a combination of treatments to restore both beauty and function.
As in all fields of health care, a proper diagnosis is necessary to develop a path of treatment. Comprehensive diagnostic records consisting of 3D panoramic and cephalometric radiographs and analyses, photos, models, and a thorough clinical examination are an absolute starting point for successful orthodontic treatment.
If necessary, we use state of the art, computerized diagnostics and functional jaw scans before beginning of the treatment:
- to determine the proper jaw position
- to determine an optimal muscle length, function, and comfort
- to identify a correct treatment endpoint for proper tooth positioning
Once we can determine where these structures want to function with the least strain naturally, we can then move the teeth to a proper position for function, stability, and appearance.
At Sacramento Wellness Orthodontics, our objective is to provide more significant long-term success as a substantial alternative to traditional orthodontics.
There are at least three goals we work to achieve:
- The first goal is to diagnose and treat any deficiency of the teeth alignment that affects overall patient health.
- The second goal is to provide correct function.
- The third is, of course, creating a beautiful, long-lasting, healthy smile.
Orthodontics is a big decision, and we believe in a thorough evaluation of each individual to provide personalized treatment recommendations. We are very grateful to be part of this journey to wellness for you and/or your child.
