The Importance of Orthodontic Care

Orthodontics encompasses the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Straightening teeth is more than just about aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in overall oral health and well-being. Properly aligned teeth bite and chew effectively, facilitating digestion and reducing the risk of jaw problems. They are also easier to clean, promoting good oral hygiene and reducing the likelihood of tooth decay and gum disease.

Misaligned teeth can lead to a cascade of issues, including speech difficulties, poor facial development, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Orthodontic treatment addresses these underlying problems, restoring proper alignment and promoting a healthy, harmonious smile.

Comprehensive Services

At South Salem Orthodontics, we offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic services tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. We utilize advanced technologies and time-tested techniques to provide effective and comfortable treatment solutions. Our services include:

• Traditional Braces:

Metal or clear braces are a highly effective and widely-used method for straightening teeth. We offer various types of braces, including self-ligating braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces, to cater to different patient preferences and needs.

• Invisalign:

Invisalign is a modern, virtually invisible orthodontic system designed to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, removable aligners. Invisalign offers a more discreet and comfortable treatment option, making it particularly popular among adults.

• Retainers:

After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining the newly achieved alignment and preventing teeth from shifting. We provide various types of retainers, including fixed and removable retainers, to ensure long-lasting results.

Committed to Excellence

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond providing exceptional orthodontic care. We strive to create a positive and supportive experience for every patient who walks through our doors. Our team is dedicated to listening attentively to your concerns, answering your questions patiently, and guiding you through every step of your treatment journey.

At South Salem Orthodontics, we believe that a beautiful and healthy smile has the power to transform lives. Our passion is to empower our patients with the tools and confidence they need to achieve their oral health goals and embrace a brighter future.
