Orthodontic Treatment Braces
Orthodontic Treatment Braces in Atlanta & Lawrenceville, Georgia
Are you self-conscious about your crooked teeth or misaligned jaw? Orthodontic treatment braces can not only enhance your smile but also address potential health issues associated with these problems. From tooth decay and gum disease to difficulties with chewing and speech impairments, untreated orthodontic problems can have a significant impact on your oral and overall health. Let Milestone Dentistry and Facial Aesthetics help you achieve your best smile and improve your oral health with a custom orthodontic treatment plan.
Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment Braces?
Orthodontic treatment is not only about enhancing your appearance; it can also effectively address potential health problems that come with misaligned teeth or jaw. Neglecting such orthodontic problems can lead to difficulties with chewing and digestion, speech impairments, and abnormal wear of tooth surfaces. Inadequate cleaning of teeth can result in tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss, while excessive pressure on the gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth can lead to complications like headaches, face pain, and neck pain over time.
To ensure optimal dental health, it is essential to seek orthodontic treatment promptly. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. However, orthodontic treatment with braces can be advantageous at any age.

Our Orthodontic Treatment Process
-
Planning PhaseThe first couple of visits may include a medical and dental history evaluation, castings or “molds” of your teeth, computer-generated photographs of the head and neck that will aid in planning, photographs of your face and mouth, and X-rays of the teeth and jaws.
-
Active PhaseActive treatment involves visiting your orthodontist on a regular basis for adjustments and following specific treatment requirements to ensure successful treatment.
-
Retention PhaseWhen treatment is complete, the braces and/or appliances are removed, and a new appliance is made. These retainers are usually removable and will maintain the changes made to your teeth if worn continuously until the teeth and bone are stabilized in their new positions.
