A straighter smile isn’t just about appearance. It also plays a major role in your oral health, bite function, and long-term comfort.
At our Greenwich, CT office, Dr. Masis Yeterian Jr. and Dr. Angela N. Marwaha provide comprehensive orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages. Whether you’re interested in clear braces or more discreet options like Invisalign®, our team can help you achieve lasting results with a personalized approach.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. The goal is to create proper alignment that improves bite function, reduces wear on teeth, and enhances your overall oral health. Common orthodontic concerns include:
- Crowding or spacing between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Protruding teeth
- Misaligned jaw positioning
- Shifting after previous orthodontic work
By addressing these issues, orthodontic treatment can reduce your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw pain while also giving you a smile you can feel confident about.
Treatment Options
At our Greenwich practice, we offer a range of orthodontic options to fit each patient’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle:
- Clear Braces: Clear braces are similar to traditional metal braces but are designed to blend in with the natural color of your teeth. They provide the same level of effectiveness in correcting various orthodontic issues, while being less noticeable.
- Invisalign: Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners custom-made for your teeth. It offers a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without the restrictions that come with traditional braces.
Each treatment plan is carefully designed based on a thorough evaluation that may include digital X-rays, impressions, and a bite analysis.
Who Needs Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontics can benefit both children and adults. Early evaluations — typically recommended around age 7 — can help guide jaw development and prevent more serious issues later on. For teens and adults, orthodontic care can improve aesthetics, relieve discomfort, and protect the longevity of your natural teeth.
Signs you or your child may benefit from orthodontics include:
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Teeth that appear crooked or crowded
- Jaws that shift or make sounds
- Mouth breathing or thumb-sucking habits
If you’ve noticed any of these concerns, our team can assess your or your child’s bite and recommend a suitable plan.
What to Expect
Orthodontic treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. After evaluating your bite and discussing your goals, we’ll recommend the best method and explain what your treatment timeline will look like.
Most orthodontic plans take 12–24 months to complete, with regular progress checks and adjustments along the way. Our Greenwich office emphasizes comfort, clear communication, and patient education throughout every step of care.
