Families benefit from teeth straightening solutions in Little Elm, TX area

Studies estimate as many as 70 percent of Americans will get braces by the time they are 18 years old. The Frisco Elm Dental team understands that teeth straightening solutions in Little Elm, TX need not be limited to conventional orthodontics.

Your trusted dentist in Little Elm, Dr. Vidya Suri, may recommend restorative treatments, or connect you with an orthodontist specializing in evaluating and treating misaligned teeth and jaws. Regardless of your needs, you will get the “royal treatment” at Frisco Elm Dental.

Comprehensive care for lifelong health

Dental decay is more prevalent among children than asthma, diabetes, or childhood obesity. In fact, tooth decay is the most common chronic condition affecting American kids. Decay may be responsible for shift in your child’s teeth. Damage to supportive tissues from gum disease may be to blame for crowded, misaligned smiles in adult members of the family.

Before Dr. Suri or an orthodontist partner moves forward with treatment, existing disease or oral health conditions must be resolved. Conventional braces or removable solutions like Invisalign don’t clear up these conditions. In fact, some straightening methods, such as fixed metal braces, present challenges to proper brushing and flossing. Our dental professionals can help you address this with specialized products and techniques.

There are other implications of crooked or unevenly-positioned teeth. These conditions affect a patient’s overall health. Children with poor bite balance or misalignment suffer more frequently from ear and sinus infections. Diet suffers due to problems with chewing food properly. Misalignment also affects how you pronounce words, and can make adults and children self-conscious about how they look.

To correct the appearance of minor misalignment, Dr. Suri may recommend porcelain veneers or bonding. The addition of tooth-like dental materials closes gaps and makes teeth look straighter.

All treatments start with an exam. Call (214) 705-7100.
