Orthodontics
Achieve a Confident, Healthy Smile
A straight smile isn’t just about looking good. It’s about keeping your teeth and gums healthy too. At Monterey Peninsula Dental Group, we offer a full range of orthodontic treatments in Monterey including Invisalign and traditional braces to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Our experienced team will guide you through your options and create a treatment plan just for you.
Why Straighten Your Teeth?
Crooked or misaligned teeth can cause more than just cosmetic concerns. They can lead to:
- Trouble cleaning between teeth, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Extra wear and tear on certain teeth, leading to damage over time.
- Jaw pain or difficulty chewing due to bite issues.
- Feeling self-conscious about your smile.
Orthodontic treatment can help solve these problems while giving you a smile you’ll love!
Your Orthodontic Options at Monterey Peninsula Dental Group
We provide orthodontic care tailored to your needs. Whether you prefer a nearly invisible option or a more traditional approach, we’ll help you choose the right solution.
Clear Aligners:
- Discreet and removable.
- Comfortable and easy to clean.
- Great for mild to moderate misalignment.
Traditional Braces:
- Best for more complex alignment issues.
- Reliable and effective.
- Customizable with different band colors.
During your visit, we’ll discuss which option is best for you and answer any questions you have. If you have very complex orthodontic needs, we partner with a trusted orthodontist in Monterey who can provide advanced solutions.
How We Help You Get Started
Starting orthodontic treatment is easier than you think! Here’s what to expect:
1. Consultation: We’ll assess your smile, facial anatomy, and dental history. We’ll also discuss your smile goals and any issues with your bite or jaw joints.
2. Personalized Plan: We’ll review your options and explain what to expect. Depending on your unique case, we may refer you to an orthodontist in Monterey for further evaluation.
3. Treatment Begins: Once you’re ready, we’ll guide you through every step of your journey to a straighter smile.
Why Trust Us for Orthodontics in Monterey?
At Monterey Peninsula Dental Group, it’s our mission to provide comprehensive dental care under one roof. As part of that commitment, we’re proud to provide teeth straightening options tailored to your needs. While many dental practices offer clear aligners, our team has advanced training in multiple methods of dental alignment.
This also makes orthodontic care much more convenient, as you won’t need to coordinate visits between two separate practices. We’ll be able to keep you on top of your teeth cleaning routine to minimize your risk for gingivitis and tooth decay during your teeth straightening.
Plus, we’ll be able to plan your alignment with future restorations like porcelain veneers, dental crowns, bridges, or dental implants in mind, streamlining your process and ensuring exceptional results.
