Q&A – Dentofacial Alignment Clinic for Adults

At DAC, we specialize in orthodontic treatments to correct crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, as well as any other misalignment teeth issues. Additionally, we address cases where the jawbones need realignment for optimal results.

Dentofacial alignment involves correcting the position of your teeth and, if necessary, the jaws, to create a balanced facial appearance and ensure long-term oral health. This process not only enhances your smile, but also improves nasal breathing, enlarges the airways, balances facial symmetry, and prevents potential dental and health issues.

The duration depends on the complexity of the case, typically lasting between 12 to 30 months. At DAC, we use innovative techniques and advanced braces, ensuring precise results. During your first consultation, we will develop a custom treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.

DAC offers a variety of braces options, each designed to meet your specific needs:

Metal Braces: These are the most traditional and widely used type of braces. Made from high-quality stainless steel, they are extremely durable and reliable, offering a highly effective solution for correcting complex orthodontic problems.
Sapphire Braces: Crafted from transparent crystal material, sapphire braces are virtually invisible on the teeth, blending seamlessly with their natural color. They offer an excellent option for patients seeking a more discreet treatment without compromising on the effectiveness of metal braces..
Champagne Aesthetic Braces: Featuring a unique golden hue, these champagne color braces reflects light in a way that makes them appear as a decorative accessory on your teeth, giving them a jewel-like effect. Despite their elegant look, these braces are just as functional as traditional metal braces, providing the same level of teeth correction.
Lingual Braces: Unlike traditional braces, lingual braces are placed on the inside of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view. This option is ideal for those who desire a truly invisible treatment, as they offer the same benefits as external braces but are concealed.
Clear Aligners: These are removable and virtually invisible plastic trays custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth.
Clear aligners allow for greater flexibility and comfort, as they can be taken off for eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth.

By aligning your teeth and correcting your bite, we can improve airflow, which can help prevent snoring and reduce sleep apnea. At DAC, we use advanced techniques and dentofacial realignment to optimize airway position and address breathing problems. After your consultation, we will provide you with a detailed, personalized treatment plan.

Yes, orthodontic treatment can correct facial asymmetries by realigning the teeth and adjusting the position of the jaws. Depending on the case, we may also recommend orthognathic surgery to further improve facial balance and aesthetic appearance.
