Orthodontic Dental Care
We know that each patient requires a unique approach to straightening and aligning their teeth.
Treatment time varies from patient to patient. Traditional braces can apply harsh pressure to teeth, resulting in gum recession and even tooth loss. We use a system that applies gentle pressure to your teeth. While efficiently moving your teeth, the gentle pressure also protects tooth roots and preserves your gum health.
We use Spark Clear Aligners, an innovative form of retainers that function similarly to braces. If you or your child are dreading traditional braces, clear aligners might be the right choice. Oftentimes, clear aligners can treat many issues traditional braces also treat: crowding, open bite, underbite, overbite, crossbite, and more! Our dentist in Frisco can personalize clear aligners to your unique concerns.
After we take digital impressions of your teeth, you’ll soon receive a set of aligners to wear. You should wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day, and only take them out to eat, drink hot liquids, or for brushing and flossing. As your teeth move, we keep up with your treatment plan by switching out a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks. Each patient has different needs. The length of your or your child’s treatment plan depends on how much adjustment your teeth require.
Spark Clear Aligners are clearer, more comfortable, and stain less than other aligner brands. They are also BPA, latex, mercury, and phthalate-free, providing you with better and safer materials for your orthodontic treatment.
Plus, we have access to remote progress tracking. With advanced tools, we can track you or your child’s progress from the comfort of your home, minimizing trips to the dentist and maximizing convenience.
During the orthodontic process, you might experience some discomfort or sensitivity after we adjust your braces or switch out a set of clear aligners with a new set. Both options provide gentle, light force to your teeth. The discomfort is a natural part of the process as your teeth move to help you achieve your healthier smile.
It usually only takes a day or two to adapt to the new adjustment or clear aligner set. We will provide you with tips on how to manage any discomfort you might experience.
Orthodontic treatment addresses the alignment of teeth and jaws, which allows more tongue space and improved jaw positions. This leads to improved sleep and breathing patterns.
At Natural Focus Dental, we use advanced tools and tests for comprehensive sleep and dental airway screening. Our orthodontist in Frisco might suggest an airway assessment during your consultation. We do this to better understand the way your teeth and mouth relate to essential actions like sleeping and breathing.
During your child’s dental visit, we’ll provide guidance based on the state of their oral health. If you’re looking for a holistic approach to their growth and development, functional orthodontics might be a good choice for your little one. Our values set us apart from any other orthodontist in Frisco. We carry these core principles with us during their entire journey:
Dental orthodontics coupled with facial exercises can play a pivotal role in enhancing your child’s sleep quality and development. Our orthodontist in Frisco might suggest this combination after an exam with your child to address concerns like tongue space and palate width. The treatment can positively influence breathing patterns, reducing the likelihood of airway restrictions that contribute to sleep disturbances.
These gentle interventions at an early age can help your child avoid a more invasive treatment in the future. For us, orthodontic treatment isn’t just about the aesthetics of a smile and straight teeth—it’s also about holistic, full-body wellness.
