How to fix crooked teeth
Correcting misaligned and crooked teeth almost always requires orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic care involves the use of devices. The 2 most common treatments are:
- Braces — Metal or clear options available
- Aligners — Such as Invisalign
Whatever method you choose, the goal of the treatment is to straighten teeth, correct problems with your bite, and close gaps between your teeth.
How do orthodontic treatments work?
The orthodontic process — whether you’re using traditional braces or an aligner system — creates constant pressure on your teeth. Over time, this pressure moves them into the correct position.
The problem with orthodontic treatment is that constant pressure often leads to inflammation, bone loss, and gum recession. Additionally, straightening your teeth typically takes many months, if not years.
Thankfully, there’s a better way! How? Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT), also called accelerated ortho, administered with the help of your periodontist.
Fix crooked teeth with the help of SFOT
If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, we recommend talking to our periodontists about SFOT.
With specialized training in bone, gum, and supporting tissue, we regularly partner with orthodontists to not only limit the risk of damage to gums, soft tissue, and bone, but to speed up your treatment.
Research suggests working with a periodontist for accelerated orthodontics can make your orthodontic treatment 2 to 3 times faster! It also limits gum recession and prevents post-orthodontic shifting or relapse of your teeth.
Everyone was nice, professional and able to answer any questions I had. If you want people who are passionate and care about your wellbeing, look no further.
