About Orthodontics

Orthodontic Treatment in Orlando, FL

At Dr. Ross Taddeo Orthodontics, our mission is to help our patients achieve a gorgeous smile as comfortably and conveniently as possible. As a leading orthodontic practice serving patients of all ages throughout the greater east Orlando, FL area, we strive to provide personalized orthodontic treatments for our patients, working with them to achieve a new smile on their own terms. We're proud to provide a wide range of treatments - but they all fall under the broader category of orthodontics.

 

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the field of dentistry devoted to achieving better oral health by aligning the teeth into its proper position. The truth is, most people are born with orthodontic malocclusions or bad bites. These conditions result in misaligned teeth that can impact the appearance of the smile, the function of the bite, and the overall health of the teeth and jaws. Not everyone needs orthodontic treatment, but most people will need some form of orthodontic treatment in their lifetime.

 

What Can Orthodontics Treat?

Orthodontic treatment can correct a number of malocclusions. The most common issues treated by orthodontics include:

  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Crowding
  • Spacing issues
  • Upper Front teeth protrusion
  • Mismatched dental midlines
  • Open bite
 

Types of Orthodontic Treatment

All orthodontic treatments do more or less the same thing - they use various implements to apply a gentle, constant force on the teeth, which eventually moves them into new positions and creates a healthier smile. With that being said, Dr. Taddeo understands that not everyone will have the same treatment goals.

We offer a number of different orthodontic treatments such as:

  • Traditional metal braces
  • Clear braces
  • Gold braces
  • Clarity Braces
  • Invisalign clear aligners
  • Invisalign teen

Each treatment comes with its own unique benefits and advantages. Dr. Taddeo will work with you to choose the best treatment option for your unique situation.

 

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Last?

Treatment times vary greatly from patient to patient, ranging anywhere from 6 months to two years or longer. Your treatment time will depend on the severity of your orthodontic condition, the treatment you choose, and sometimes on compliance factors like wearing your aligners for sufficient time.
