Orthodontics

Small tooth movements add up to big changes. With orthodontics at Loganville Family Dentistry, we guide your bite into balance, improve cleaning access, and help protect enamel from uneven wear. Your dentist-led plan focuses on healthy alignment that fits your goals and timeline.

Why Confident Alignment Protects Long-Term Health

Crooked or crowded teeth trap plaque and strain jaw joints. Correcting alignment can reduce fracture risk, improve chewing efficiency, and make daily cleaning easier. Mid-treatment checkups track progress and keep your plan on course. We’ll explain options clearly, metal, ceramic, or clear aligners, so your choice matches your lifestyle and budget with orthodontics.

What Happens at Your First Orthodontic Visit

At your consultation, we take digital photos, a 3D scan, and low-radiation X-rays to map tooth roots and bone. Your dentist reviews findings, discusses goals, and outlines timelines, costs, and financing. You’ll leave with a printed plan, care tips, and a start date that works for you, whether you’re considering braces or dental orthodontics.

Comfort, Safety, and Everyday Life—made Simple

Expect gentle wire adjustments or aligner changes at set intervals. Soreness is common for 1–2 days; over-the-counter pain relief and wax help. We share eating tips, hygiene tools, and break-fix guidance for emergencies. Sterilization follows ADA standards, and we schedule efficiently to minimize time away from work or school.

Who Benefits and When to Start Care

Kids (7–8) may need an early screening to guide jaw growth; many patients begin comprehensive treatment in their teens. Adults benefit from healthy gums and bone, which make great results possible at any age. If you notice crowding, spacing, bite shifts, or jaw fatigue, ask about orthodontic treatment options.
