Orthodontics

Understanding Orthodontics

Orthodontics, a branch of dentistry, focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. At Rising Dental, many prospective members or new patients like you seek orthodontic treatment. You might worry about switching from traditional dental insurance to our Rising Dental model, especially concerning orthodontic benefits, but there are options for you.

Why Orthodontics?

Ensuring a correct, healthy alignment of your bite is the primary goal of orthodontics, not just cosmetic improvements. Think of it like having aligned wheels on a car – it prevents undue pressure and wear. Similarly, well-aligned teeth ensure even distribution of force during chewing, which helps maintain your dental health for a longer period. In other words, straight teeth last longer, keep you healthy, and look better.

Health Benefits of Orthodontics

Proper bite alignment through orthodontic treatment prevents teeth destruction. When your teeth are aligned, they last longer and resist damage from daily use. At Rising Dental, we aim to provide orthodontic treatment in-office by our broad scope (we call them super dentists) dentists, typically using clear aligner systems to suit your needs.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

You have two main orthodontic treatment options: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. Each has its pros and cons; however, clear aligners are becoming more popular due to their aesthetic appeal and convenience. Clear aligners are easier to clean and can be removed temporarily for social occasions, making them a popular choice for many of our patients. Would you like to know which option is best for you? Come visit one of our locations and we’ll tell you.

Clear Aligners vs. Metal Braces

Clear aligners, like Invisalign, offer cosmetic advantages and ease of use. You can take them off for cleaning and social events, providing flexibility. Conversely, metal braces, while effective, are more noticeable and can complicate your oral hygiene routine. Both options are available at Rising Dental at competitive and discounted rates compared to traditional dental insurance.

Orthodontic Services at Rising Dental

Our offices at Rising Dental offer clear aligner treatment at significantly reduced rates. If you need traditional metal braces and specialized care from an orthodontist, we provide network benefits with orthodontists in the Phoenix area to ensure comprehensive care for you and your family.
