Orthodontics
Expert Orthodontic Solutions for All Ages
Are you thinking about a straighter, healthier smile for you or your child? Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on crooked teeth and bite problems to help improve oral health and confidence! At Children’s Dental Specialists & Adult Dentistry, we offer the complete lineup of orthodontic services for kids, teens, and adults—because it’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always dreamed about.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that is focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of irregularities of the jaw and teeth. Orthodontic treatment is used to move the teeth and improve the bite using braces, clear aligners, or other dental appliances. In addition to creating a better smile, a straight smile prevents the potential for pain or disease that is associated with misalignment, which makes it easier to maintain oral health in the future.
What Issues Can Orthodontics Solve?
Orthodontic treatments at Children’s Dental Specialists & Adult Dentistry address a broad range of dental problems, including:
- Problems chewing or speaking as a result of misalignment
- Overlapping or crowded teeth
- Spacing or gaps
- Overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite
- Bite-related and misaligned jaw issues
Correcting these problems not only improves the appearance of your smile but also enhances oral function and helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments We Provide
Our office offers customized orthodontic treatments for all ages and lifestyles:
- Traditional Braces – Time-tested and dependable for severe alignment and bite problems.
- Clear Aligners – A clear, removable choice for patients who prefer a more convenient and virtually invisible solution.
Each treatment plan is individualized to your individual needs to maximize the functional and aesthetic improvements you will see along the way.
Meet Our Orthodontist: Dr. Simona Lekht
Here at our Warrington practice, orthodontic treatment is led by Dr. Simona Lekht, who is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Lekht received her orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedics education in addition to a general dentistry background. She combines both practices to deliver highly trained, patient-focused orthodontic therapy. Dr. Lekht works with all her patients to develop a treatment plan that accommodates their lifestyle and needs.
Is Orthodontics Right for You?
Orthodontic treatment can be right for both children and adults. Evaluation of children is best done as early as possible, although many teenagers and adults also seek treatment to improve their smile, aesthetics, and oral health. If you are experiencing crowding in your mouth, an issue with the bite in your jaw, or simply want to feel more confident about your smile, then orthodontics is a possible treatment for you.
