Orthodontics in San Bernardino: More Than Just Straight Teeth

2025-09-08 09:37
Why Orthodontics Matters
Orthodontics is often associated with a beautiful smile, but the benefits go much deeper. Proper alignment helps reduce tooth wear, prevents gum recession, improves chewing, and supports jaw health. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean and increase the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Orthodontic Options at Vernon Dental Specialty
Traditional Braces Metal braces remain one of the most effective solutions for complex cases. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and work faster than ever.
Ceramic Braces Clear ceramic brackets blend with natural tooth color, making them less visible. They are a popular choice for teens and adults.
Clear Aligners Removable aligners such as Invisalign provide a discreet way to straighten teeth. They are ideal for patients seeking comfort and flexibility.
Retainers After active treatment, retainers ensure your teeth remain in their new positions, protecting your investment.

The Benefits of Early Orthodontic Evaluation
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic screening by age 7. Early intervention can guide jaw growth, prevent overcrowding, and reduce the need for more complex treatments later.
