Traditional braces use brackets, wires, and bands to alter the position of a patient's teeth. Invisalign relies on clear plastic aligners. These clear plastic aligners are worn like a retainer or mouth guard, fitting right over the teeth. Over time, the aligners straighten a patient's smile, applying controlled pressure much like braces. In addition to aligners, Invisalign treatment may also use attachments. These attachments are tooth-colored bumps that are applied to the teeth. The attachments serve as anchors for the aligners, and work a lot like the brackets used in orthodontic treatment with braces. The attachments help shift teeth into a better position.

Investing in quality restorative dental work is one of the best ways to ensure a lifetime of good oral health and beautiful smiles.

Treatment can last even longer when you visit a first-rate dental practice such as Han and Ahn.
Orthodontics refers to the treatment of irregularities in the teeth and jaws — and braces are one of the most well-known solutions in the field. Braces use brackets, wires, and bands to gently guide your teeth into proper alignment over time. Our orthodontist, Dr. Ahn, will periodically adjust the braces to ensure the right amount of pressure is being applied to each tooth and the treatment is coming along as intended. Your total treatment time will depend on the severity of your misalignment. When you visit us to explore this orthodontic option, Dr. Ahn can consult you on how long you can expect to wear them.

Implant-supported dentures, bridges, and dental crowns remain securely in your mouth. Your dental implants will not allow your restorations to slip out of place or affect your speech. Dental implants function as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone to prevent bone loss. While bone recession often ages your facial structure, implant restorations help retain youthful features.

Fixed, traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge. Supported by a tooth on either side of the gap, the pontic is held in place with dental crowns placed over your natural teeth. This bridge is typically made primarily of porcelain. If there is only one side of the tooth gap that can offer support for the pontic or pontics, you may want to opt for a cantilever bridge instead. This technique can still provide a sturdy, lasting solution to replace a tooth or teeth.
