Sierra Dental Care Is Your Home for Orthodontics In Modesto

When seeking a professional to care for your orthodontic needs, it is important to know that there is a distinction between a general dentist who may provide orthodontics and a university -rained credentialed Orthodontist. Only one who has been formally educated with years of post-graduate university study and application may call himself an Orthodontist.

There is a true science to orthodontics. Orthodontists must have a deep understanding of all of the parts of your facial structure. They must understand how the parts of your face grow and work together to form a functioning jaw and healthy bite. A general dentist may offer orthodontic services, but they do not have the years of study (in a highly competitive field) and experience that an orthodontist has. Orthodontics involves much more than receiving a beautiful smile. Your teeth must function medically, and choosing the right orthodontist for yourself, or your children, can make all the difference in the world regarding your oral health.

Sierra dental care goes to great extent to see that the professionals you encounter are amongst the finest in the industry. Explore all your orthodontic treatment options, including Invisalign, with our well-tenured expert in Orthodontics, Dr. Gary Nazareno.

Get Invisalign & Straighten Your Smile Without Metal Wires

Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners, no metal wires, and brackets, to straighten and have proper positioning of your adult teeth. Because the aligners are practically invisible, many people won’t even realize you’re getting orthodontic treatment! That’s a big benefit, but it’s not the only one.

Your Invisalign aligners are also:

Comfortable – They’re made of smooth, BPA-free plastic. There’s no metal to irritate your cheeks or gums.
Fast – Invisalign corrects your smile fast. In many cases, you can complete your treatment in 12 months or less

Metal Braces May Be the Right Choice for Your Smile

As great as Invisalign is, it’s not for all smiles. For younger patients and more complicated orthodontics issues, metal, clear or colored braces may be the right choice for your smile. Their advantages include:

Correcting a wider range of problems, including complex orthodontics issues.
It can be used on younger children.
Since they can’t be removed, maybe a better choice for those who won’t wear aligners the recommended 20-22 hours a day.

In addition, traditional metal braces no longer have to be metallic silver. Ask us about less conspicuous orthodontics options that use clear brackets and tooth-colored wires. Or make a style statement with colored braces.
