A Healthy Bite with Orthodontics

Maintaining a healthy bite is essential for preserving the function and comfort of your teeth and joints. A healthy bite ensures effortless chewing and speaking throughout your lifetime.

What is a Healthy Bite?

A healthy bite is achieved when all teeth are aligned in a U-shaped arch, matching opposing teeth evenly and without any imbalance or unevenness.

The Hazards of Misaligned Teeth

Properly aligned teeth should only wear one millimeter every 100 years, but many people experience more tooth wear due to misalignment or other dental issues that could be corrected with orthodontics.

Additionally, over 90% of headaches are caused by a disharmony between the joints, muscles, and teeth. This misalignment and imbalance can lead to uneven wear, chipped teeth, pain, and tooth loss. A thorough diagnosis is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment for these imbalanced conditions.

We offer various orthodontic options to help improve your smile, including braces for both kids and adults. Explore some of our options below:

Clear Aligner in Bradbury Sierra Madre

Clear Aligner clear aligners are often called braces for adults because they are transparent, unlike traditional metal braces that can alter your appearance. These clear aligners can be easily removed and replaced at your convenience. After wearing them for about a year, you will achieve beautifully straight teeth.

Functional Orthodontics

Functional orthodontics, also known as braces for children, typically start with Phase I treatment when the child is between 7 and 10 years old. This initial phase focuses on promoting proper bone growth, resulting in straighter teeth and a better bite for the child. Ultimately, functional orthodontics make achieving a straight and beautiful smile in the future easier.
