The Importance of Straight Teeth
Straight teeth are not only key to a beautiful smile but also play a crucial role in maintaining good oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Furthermore, correct alignment can prevent issues related to improper bite, such as abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, jaw pain, and even headaches.
Signs It’s Time to See an Orthodontist
- Crowding or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Jaw pain or clicking
- Teeth that meet abnormally or not at all
If you're experiencing any of these issues, it might be time to consult with our orthodontist at PasaDental.

- Enhanced oral health and easier dental hygiene
- Improved appearance and self-esteem
- Corrected bite, alleviating speech impediments and chewing difficulties
- Reduced risk of tooth damage
- Long-term savings on potential dental issues caused by misalignment

Frequently Asked Questions
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, such as crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and crowded teeth. The aim is to align teeth and jaws for a balanced, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
At what age should orthodontic treatment begin?
Orthodontic treatment isn't just for children and teens. Patients of all ages can benefit from orthodontics, but early evaluation is recommended. The American Association of Orthodontists advises that children have their first orthodontic consultation by age 7 to identify any potential issues early.
How do I know if I or my child needs orthodontic treatment?
Signs that you or your child might need orthodontic treatment include difficulty chewing or biting, mouth breathing, speech impediments, protruding teeth, unevenly spaced teeth, and jaws that shift or make sounds. A consultation with our orthodontist can determine if treatment is necessary.
What types of orthodontic treatments are available?
At PasaDental, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments to suit every need and lifestyle, including traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners, SureSmile, and Phase 1 Orthodontics for children. Our orthodontist will work with you to choose the most effective treatment.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the individual's specific needs, the complexity of their case, and the type of treatment selected. On average, treatment can last anywhere from 18 to 24 months, though some cases may be shorter or longer.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
Patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure when braces are first applied or adjusted and when beginning to use a new set of Invisalign aligners. This discomfort typically subsides within a few days. Pain relief can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and by following care instructions from our orthodontist.
Can I still have braces if I have crowns or missing teeth?
Yes, patients with crowns or missing teeth can still receive orthodontic treatment. Our orthodontist will assess your situation and recommend the best treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
What are the benefits of orthodontic treatment?
Beyond a more aesthetically pleasing smile, orthodontic treatment improves oral health by making teeth easier to clean, reducing wear on teeth from misalignment, and alleviating stress on the jaw muscles and joints. It can also boost self-confidence and improve overall quality of life.
Will I need to wear a retainer after orthodontic treatment?
Yes, wearing a retainer after orthodontic treatment is crucial to maintaining your new smile. Retainers help to keep teeth in their new positions while the jawbone and gums adjust. Our orthodontist will provide instructions on how long and how often to wear your retainer.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost, and do you offer payment plans?
The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the type and complexity of the treatment. PasaDental offers competitive pricing and flexible payment options, including financing plans, to make orthodontic care accessible to all our patients. We also accept most insurance plans and can assist with insurance claims and paperwork.
