Orthodontics Q&A

Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on improving the alignment of your teeth and jaw. At Maple Dental NJ, we help patients of all ages regain their confidence by diagnosing, preventing, and correcting alignment problems.

Orthodontic treatment can address issues such as:

  • Crowding
  • Spacing
  • Crossbite
  • Open Bite
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Overjet
  • Abnormal eruption

Crooked, overcrowded, or misaligned teeth can affect your appearance and oral function. Our providers may recommend orthodontic care not only to improve aesthetics but also to relieve jaw pain and prevent damage to teeth and gums.

At Maple Dental NJ, we offer several orthodontic solutions to suit your needs and lifestyle:

Traditional braces
Metal brackets and wires are adjusted over time to correct alignment and spacing. They remain a reliable and effective option.

Clear braces
These use ceramic brackets and white wires, making your braces less noticeable while still delivering strong results.

Invisalign®
A popular choice among teens and adults, Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into place—without metal.

Lingual braces
These braces are placed behind the teeth, making them invisible from the front while offering the benefits of traditional braces.

Whether you’re looking for a subtle solution like Invisalign or need a more advanced correction, our orthodontists will help you choose the right treatment option.

Braces can make oral hygiene more challenging, so it's important to maintain a consistent routine:

  • Brush thoroughly twice a day
  • Floss daily (use a floss threader or water flosser for best results)
  • Avoid sticky, sugary, or crunchy foods that can damage your braces
  • Schedule regular cleanings and check-ups

Our team will guide you on proper care throughout your orthodontic journey.
