What Can Orthodontic Treatment Address?
Orthodontic treatment moves teeth gradually to address concerns such as crowding, spacing and certain bite problems. Depending on your needs, treatment may help teeth fit together more comfortably and make some areas easier to clean. Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine which concerns can be addressed and which treatments may be appropriate.
Understanding Your Treatment Options
Options may include braces or clear aligners. Braces use attached brackets and wires to guide tooth movement. Invisalign clear aligners use a series of removable trays designed to move teeth gradually. The right choice depends on your alignment needs, oral health, preferences and ability to follow the treatment plan.
After active treatment, retainers help keep teeth in their new positions. Your dentist will explain how to wear and care for your retainer.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Your dentist will discuss your concerns and examine your teeth and bite. Digital impressions, scans or X-rays may be used when appropriate to help plan treatment. You will have an opportunity to discuss suitable options, the estimated timeline, appointment schedule and cost before deciding how to proceed.
Dr. Won Jung Jeong completed an orthodontics master’s program at Chosun University in 1994. Dr. Won Jung Jeong and Dr. Debora Jeong provide clear aligner treatment and use digital tools to support planning and patient education.
Caring for Your Smile During Treatment
Good brushing and flossing remain important throughout orthodontic treatment. Follow your dentist’s instructions for wearing and cleaning your appliances, attend recommended checkups and continue your routine dental visits. Once treatment is complete, wearing your retainer as directed helps maintain your results.
