It’s natural to want nice, straight teeth, but there are also health-related reasons for making sure they are perfectly aligned. Correctly-aligned teeth are much easier to keep clean. They don’t have little crevices that toothbrushes and floss can’t fit into. When your teeth are straight, you can reach more parts of your teeth and so keep them cleaner.
When your teeth are poorly aligned, there’s more wear and tear on your teeth. If your upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly, your teeth receive pressure at the wrong points. You could end up with chipped, cracked or fractured teeth and potentially tooth decay. If you receive fillings, crowns or veneers at these points of pressure, they may not last. This is why Dr Galvez and our orthodontists in Stockton, CA , offer services such as Braces and Invisalign to any patient located in Stockton CA.
We are very pleased to offer our patients, both adults and children, three different types of orthodontic treatments to correct the alignment of their smiles.
Schedule An Appointment
Invisalign
Invisalign technicians have now treated more than five million patients, and this experience was utilized in the current design of Invisalign clear aligners. After careful evaluation by Dr Gavlez of the correction and orthodontics you need, impressions of your teeth will be sent to technicians who will print in 3D a series of clear, acrylic aligners for you. You will wear these nearly invisible braces day and night, removing them to eat or clean your teeth. You will change the aligner braces once every week or two as your teeth gradually move into their optimum positions. Not only alignment and spacing can be corrected—overbite, crossbite a nd underbite can also be reshaped with this orthodontics treatment.
ClearCorrect
While similar to Invisalign clear braces, the ClearCorrect system in Stockton CA, offers special treatment packages for a patient who only need limited treatment, such as correction of specific teeth or closing spaces between teeth. In addition to Clear Correct 6 and 12 for limited cases, ClearCorrect also offers an Unlimited option for more lengthy cases. ClearCorrect aligners are made from Zendura, a sturdy material specifically designed to hold up despite the pressures exerted when the top and bottom teeth meet.
