Orthodontics: Your Key to Straighter Teeth

Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with straight teeth. When your crooked or misaligned teeth get in the way of your everyday life, it's time to think about orthodontic services. Elaine Schilling, DDS, MS serves the Lake Kiowa community with several oral health options to straighten your teeth so that you can get back to enjoying your self-confidence.

What Is Orthodontics?

Every person's teeth are different from the next person's. While a general dentist is great for treating issues like cavities, cleaning your teeth, and installing veneers, they're not ideal for treating teeth alignment issues. This is when you need to seek the help of an experienced orthodontist like Dr. Elaine Schilling at Main Street Dental Smiles.

Dr. Schilling solely focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, guidance, interception, and correction of bad bites. Her mission is to create a healthier bite for all her patients. When you have a healthy bite, thanks to your straight teeth, it makes it so much easier for you to chew, bite, and speak with those around you. Additionally, it will help to significantly enhance your smile and boost your self-confidence level.

Orthodontics Treats Many Conditions

There are many common issues that Dr. Schilling can treat, including:

  • Spacing
  • Crowding
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Protruding teeth
  • Open bite
  • Dental midline mismatch
  • Overbite

If you're suffering from any of the above oral health conditions, you may be tempted to ignore the issue at first. Unfortunately, letting these issues develop can lead to a number of other health conditions. Some of these include TMJ disorder, trouble forming certain sounds while you're speaking, reduced self-esteem levels, unnatural chewing, and increased risk for gum disease and tooth decay. If you believe that you have tooth alignment issues, it's best to seek professional health sooner rather than later.

Professional Orthodontics Teeth Straightening Solutions

Many people think that when their teeth need straightening, they must rely on traditional metal braces. While it's true that braces are a reliable way to straighten your teeth, they're not your only option. Dr. Schilling has experience with many teeth straightening options, including ClearCorrect, Spark Aligners, and braces. She'll evaluate your current oral health condition and recommend the best treatment method for you.
