Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics for Adults & Children

Orthodontics for Adults

At Great Lakes Dentistry, we will assure you that if you need orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth or improve bite issues, you should know that we offer several orthodontic options, and many of them are very discreet that you may choose from to correct your teeth. One of the down-sides of having orthodontic treatment done when you’re an adult is that your teeth and jawbone have already fully developed, and this means that your treatment may take a little longer to achieve optimal results. Thanks to advances in orthodontic technology, such as Invisalign, patients can now experience less visible and more comfortable treatments.

Dr. Gurpreet Mohi, being a certified Invisalign provider, will perform a complete oral examination so that she can recommend the optimal treatment option to correct your smile. If you have any current issues with your teeth or jaw, it is important that you address these issues with the dentist. Issues such as: bone loss or periodontal disease will need to be treated and corrected before you are able to receive orthodontic treatment.

Our practice uses iTero digital scanning technology for precise, impression-free treatment planning. The scanner captures thousands of images per second to create a precise 3D model of your teeth.
This results in:
• More accurate Invisalign trays
• Faster treatment progress
• Fewer refinements
• More predictable outcomes

Orthodontics for Children

It is important that your child visits an orthodontist around the age of 7 because enforcing early orthodontic treatment for crooked teeth is crucial. By age 7, most children have a mix of permanent and baby teeth, which allows the orthodontist to identify potential issues. The orthodontist will then be able to determine if orthodontic treatment is necessary for your child.

Early treatment can definitely reduce the risks of impacted teeth, permanent tooth extractions, and any other conditions that may constrain dental treatment. At this early stage, an orthodontist can also guide incoming teeth giving adequate room for them to grow in nicely. The orthodontist can also detect subtle problems that may not be readily apparent.

Great Lakes Dentistry offers a variety of orthodontic treatment options, including braces and Invisalign to ensure a straight set of teeth to accompany your child’s sparkling smile. To schedule your consultation with Dr. Gurpreet Mohi please give our office a call today.

Orthodontics for Adults & Children

Invisalign is designed to straighten teeth, correct bite, and jaw alignment and also enhance the overall appearance of your smile without the need for metals or wires.

Invisalign offers adults and teenagers a much more comfortable and discreet way to straighten teeth and teeth alignment issues. It features a series of clear aligner trays that can be easily removed for eating, drinking and routine oral care. Invisalign provides a much more pleasant and comfortable straightening experience while remaining highly effective.

Furthermore, its unobtrusive appearance means that people may not even notice that you are wearing braces. Great Lakes Dentistry can assess your condition to determine if this treatment will help you achieve your dental goals.
