Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on correcting improperly positioned teeth. Here at Golden Hill Family Dentistry, we exclusively offer Clear Aligners as our orthodontic service.

Our orthodontists specialize in treating malocclusions, commonly referred to as “bad bites,” where the teeth do not align correctly when biting down. We also address issues with crooked teeth, focusing on the development of facial bones and jaw.

Maintaining a Healthy Mouth

While orthodontics is often associated with cosmetic improvements, it is crucial for a healthy mouth. Misaligned or crooked teeth create hiding spots for food particles and bacteria. They can be challenging to clean, leading to cavities and other oral health issues in the future.

Our objective in treating dental issues is to ensure a healthy mouth in the long run. This involves closing any gaps between teeth and ensuring proper alignment. Sometimes, teeth need straightening to achieve this goal. Orthodontics can also have a positive impact on eating habits and, in some cases, improve a patient’s speech.

Treatment Options

Clear Aligners are our primary treatment option, although we may also recommend headgear, plates, surgery, or other interventions based on individual needs.

If you have any questions about orthodontics, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (303) 237-1553. We’re here to provide you with answers and assistance.

Testimonial

She takes such great care and is so understanding.

Dr. Grace and her team are amazing. I have severe panic attacks, especially at the dentist after a terribly traumatic experience years ago. Grace is the only dentist I will even consider working with. She takes such great care and is so understanding. I have been seeing her since she started her practice and am so glad I found her.
