Crowded, misaligned, and impacted teeth can create significant challenges for your dental health. These include difficulty cleaning between teeth, an increased risk of cavities and gum disease, and excessive wear on tooth enamel due to improper bite alignment. These issues can also lead to jaw discomfort, speech difficulties, and lower self-confidence in your smile.
Left untreated, misalignment can compromise not only the aesthetics of your teeth but also their function and longevity. To address these concerns, we offer comprehensive orthodontic care designed to straighten and align your teeth, creating a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile. Through tailored treatment plans, we help you achieve optimal oral health and the confidence that comes with a properly aligned smile!
SureSmile is a discreet orthodontic treatment that gradually straightens teeth using custom-fit, removable clear teeth straighteners. It is an ideal solution for many alignment issues, including crowding, overbite, crossbite, underbite, open bite, spacing or gaps, and crooked teeth.
The process begins by digitally scanning your teeth, then working with the SureSmile Digital Lab to create an individualized treatment plan that gently moves your teeth—from your first aligner to your last. SureSmile treatment may also include traditional brackets and custom-shaped archwires, making it a good choice for more challenging cases. Predictable outcomes can usually be achieved in five to 18 months.
Traditional braces in Champaign, IL, are a highly effective orthodontic solution for correcting a wide range of alignment issues, from crowded and misaligned teeth to more complex bite problems. They use metal brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions, delivering reliable and precise results. While they may require regular adjustments, traditional braces remain a trusted option for creating a straight, functional, and beautiful smile. With advancements in design, today’s braces are more comfortable and less noticeable, making them a great choice for patients of all ages.
Retainers ensure the investment and hard work you put into braces isn’t undone. Bottom teeth are particularly vulnerable to returning to their old position, so a permanent retainer is usually recommended on the lower arch. Removable retainers are clear, thin, slightly flexible, plastic-like materials that fit your teeth’ exact shape and placement.
Fixed or permanent retainers are made of a thin metal wire glued behind your teeth. SureSmile Retainers are designed to provide adequate mechanical and functional forces for retaining final occlusion and helping prevent tooth relapse.
Crooked and overcrowded teeth make it difficult to floss and brush properly, creating hidden spaces where bacteria can flourish. As bacteria collects, it hardens into plaque and eventually turns to tartar, which can only be removed at our dental office. This can lead to tooth decay, irritated and bleeding gums, inflammation, chronic bad breath, and gum disease.
A misaligned bite can also pressure your jaw joints, resulting in TMJ dysfunction and chronic headaches. At Q Dental, we’ve successfully treated countless patients with clear aligners and traditional braces and partnered with third-party financing companies to make it more affordable to transform misaligned teeth into a more attractive and functional straight smile!
