What are orthodontics?

An orthodontist is a specialist. There are a variety of specialties within the dental field. Dentists typically focus on one or two in particular. Because they require additional training, these choices usually coincide with their practice’s specialty. Orthodontics focuses on the treatment of irregular teeth. This focus includes re-alignment through the use of appliances that include braces, headgear, or other corrective measures.

What to expect from your orthodontic consultation.

Our orthodontic services in Tacoma are comprehensive. First of all, one of our dental assistants or Dr. Norooz will perform a complete examination. An exam includes a dental and medical history, a full clinical examination, x-rays, photographs, and a plaster cast mold of your teeth. Once your exam is complete, Dr. Norooz will analyze the results. We will discuss our findings and the most appropriate way to correct any issues.

Common Treatment Types

Braces – Braces are one of the most widely used methods for the treatment alignment related conditions. As your orthodontist, Dr. Mostafa Norooz has a variety of different types of braces at his disposal. He’ll help you to find one that works with your lifestyle while providing correction on time. Options include lingual braces, dental braces, and invisible braces.
Headgear – Dentists frequently recommend headgear for developmental problems. These are often worn at night and attach to existing braces. They help your teeth and jawbone to develop correctly and are commonly used to fix conditions like an underbite or overbite.
Retainers – A retainer is the final step in the orthodontic process. They come in a variety of colors and patterns. Retainers are used to keep teeth from returning to their original positioning after the use of braces, face masks, and headgear.

We provide the best care and the smartest use of orthodontic technology to provide you with a lasting treatment solution.
