Orthodontic treatment at Prime Dental focuses on improving the alignment of your teeth and helping create a more balanced, functional smile. Our orthodontic services include Traditional Metal Braces for both upper and lower teeth, as well as different types of Retainers to help maintain your results.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on correcting problems related to tooth alignment and bite. Treatment uses orthodontic appliances to gradually move teeth into more suitable positions and improve overall dental alignment.
At Prime Dental, treatment is planned based on your individual tooth position, bite, and dental needs.
Our Orthodontic Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional Metal Braces use metal brackets and orthodontic wires to gradually move teeth into better alignment.
They may be suitable for patients with:
• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Gaps or uneven spacing
• Certain bite concerns
• Teeth that require orthodontic alignment
Traditional braces are available for both upper and lower teeth.
Retainers
Retainers are used to help maintain the position of teeth after orthodontic treatment. Wearing retainers as recommended can help reduce unwanted tooth movement and support long-term alignment.
Prime Dental offers:
• Hawley Retainers
• Lingual Retainers
• Vacuum Retainers
Retainers are available for both upper and lower teeth, depending on your individual treatment plan.
