Orthodontics Near You for a Better-Aligned Smile
Teeth don't have to be severely crooked for alignment to affect your smile or bite. Crowding, spacing, rotated teeth, and an uneven bite can influence how your teeth come together and how easily certain areas can be cleaned. Progressive Dental Arts provides orthodontic care for patients looking to improve tooth alignment and address bite-related concerns. Serving Newark, Christiana, and Pike Creek, DE, treatment is planned around the current position of your teeth, your oral health, and the result you're hoping to achieve.
What Orthodontic Treatment Does
Orthodontics uses controlled forces to gradually move teeth into more appropriate positions. Depending on the individual case, treatment may address crowding, gaps between teeth, rotated teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, or other alignment concerns.
Treatment begins with an evaluation of your teeth and bite. Your dentist considers how the upper and lower teeth fit together, the available space, the condition of your teeth and gums, and other factors that can influence tooth movement.
Orthodontic treatment may involve traditional braces or other tooth-alignment approaches, depending on your specific needs. Treatment length varies considerably. A mild alignment concern may require less time than a complex bite problem involving significant tooth movement.
Good oral hygiene remains important throughout orthodontic treatment because brackets, wires, or other appliances can create additional areas where plaque can collect.

Why Choose Orthodontics?
Alignment isn't only about creating a straighter-looking smile. Teeth that overlap or are difficult to access can make daily brushing and flossing more challenging. An uneven bite can also affect how forces are distributed across your teeth.Orthodontic treatment can address these concerns by gradually changing the position of the teeth and, when appropriate, improving how the upper and lower arches relate to each other.
Dr. Rodney Kryzhanovskiy, D.M.D. and Dr. Lavinia Wu, D.M.D. can evaluate your alignment and discuss whether orthodontic treatment is appropriate, as well as what type of approach may best fit your dental needs.
