The purpose of orthodontics is to treat any type of malocclusion, or 'bad bite.' When you have a malocclusion, that means your teeth, lips and/or jaws don 't line up the way they should. As a result, your teeth may be crooked, your bite may not work correctly and your jaws may look unbalanced. To correct malocclusion, Orthodontists, dentists who are specially trained, use braces and other corrective appliances and procedures, to achieve tooth and jaw alignment. This correction of the teeth and their supportive structures makes for a healthy, attractive smile.

After fittings, you will need to go for regular check-ups so as to make sure the braces are well places as well as adjust your wires. The treatment often takes 1-2 years after which you will be fitted with a retainer that is properly aligned with the new positioning of your teeth. The material that makes the ceramic braces may eventually make the treatment take longer than traditional metal braces. But it might be your best option if you;re looking for a more discreet look.
When it comes to food always stay away from hard and sticky food that might stain your teeth and the ceramic braces. Also cut down to sugary snacks in between meals otherwise your teeth might start to decay. Remember the braces will also have to be kept clean at all times so invest in them wisely.
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two weeks or as prescribed by Dr. Bock, moving your teeth into a straighter position step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile. And unlike braces, these clear aligners can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth as usual. Dr. Bock sees patients every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and to check progress. At regular intervals, you'll receive a new set of custom-molded clear aligners to continue the straightening process. The total number of clear aligners is specific to you, determined by Dr. Bock for your course of treatment.
