Braces treatment at San Diego Dental Specialists
Straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also crucial for maintaining good oral health. When teeth are crooked, it can be challenging to clean them properly, increasing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Additionally, crooked teeth can lead to uneven wear on the teeth and cause headaches due to an improper bite.
Straight teeth, on the other hand, provide numerous benefits for your teeth and gums. Some of these include:
The most common emergency dental cases include:
- Healthier gums that fit securely around straight teeth
- Healthier teeth that are easier to clean and less prone to plaque build-up
- Prevention of tooth wear and alignment problems
- Reduced risk of jaw misalignment and TMJ disorder

Our types of braces
Traditional Metal Braces
These are a popular orthodontic treatment option. They consist of metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by a thin metal archwire. As the archwire is periodically adjusted and tightened, the metal braces apply pressure to guide the teeth into their proper position.
Damon Clear Braces
A frictionless and clear brace system that moves teeth with lighter and more comfortable wires. Instead of using abrupt heavy forces, Damon Braces use light and continuous force to move the teeth, giving stunning results!
The Invisible Alternative
These clear, thermoplastic aligners are used to straighten teeth effortlessly for both teens and adults. Since Invisalign aligners are almost invisible, they are aesthetically pleasing. Plus, they are removable for easy brushing and eating.
