What Are Braces and Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misaligned teeth and jaw problems. Braces are one of the most effective tools in orthodontics, designed to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. Options include traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and removable aligners like Invisalign.

At Clove Dental, we offer a wide range of orthodontic solutions tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Our goal is to ensure optimal results while making your treatment journey as comfortable as possible.

Signs You Might Need Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic issues can present in many forms. Here are some common signs that braces or other treatments may be necessary:

    • Crooked or crowded teeth: Teeth that overlap or lack proper spacing.
    • Overbite or underbite: Misalignment of the upper and lower teeth when biting.
    • Open bite: Space between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
    • Jaw pain or discomfort: Potential issues with alignment or bite functionality.
    • Difficulty chewing or speaking: Alignment problems affecting everyday functions.
    • Visible gaps between teeth: Spaces that impact aesthetics and oral health.
    • Early or delayed loss of baby teeth: Influences the positioning of permanent teeth.

If you or your child experience any of these symptoms, our orthodontic specialists in Beverly Hills can evaluate your needs and recommend the most suitable treatment.
