[MANTECA, 09/19/2017] – The proper diagnosis of malocclusions is necessary for treatment. Patients with minor and major misalignments can consult with and seek treatment from the orthodontists at Smile Designs Dentistry in Manteca, California.

According to the clinic, having straight teeth reduces the risk of tooth decay because it becomes easier to brush, floss, and clean. To achieve this, Smile Designs Dentistry uses traditional braces or removable appliances.

Smile Designs Dentistry also addresses problems related to childhood thumb sucking. This is a boon for patients whose dental issues are not inborn but rather a product of childhood habits and trauma.

Treatment at Smile Designs Dentistry

For treatments involving orthodontic brackets, patients can expect treatment to last for at least 12 months. This period may get shorter or longer, however, depending on how fast a patient responds to treatment and how extensive the treatment will have to be. Braces typically undergo adjustments every 4-6 weeks to encourage teeth to fall into proper alignment.

Smile Designs Dentistry educates patients on how to properly care for their teeth and dental appliances. It also provides them with retainers to prevent post-treatment teeth shifting.
