Options for Your Orthodontic Needs

For many, dental misalignment may cause insecurity and a lack of confidence in one’s smile. Misalignment – also known as malocclusion – is also accompanied by several health and structural complications. For instance, structural misalignment can affect your bite, lead to jaw pain and strain, make it difficult to pronounce certain sounds or words, make it difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene, and more.

Though the condition is more often detected and addressed in childhood, any adult can develop crooked teeth, regardless of a past free of malocclusion. Fortunately, with the help of our board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Mo, many patients can straighten their teeth with traditional orthodontic options such as braces or discreet solutions such as Invisalign® clear aligners.

Dr. Mo, founder of his practice, Wink Orthodontics, began his university education at the age of 15. Pursuing advanced education in BRIUS lingual braces and garnering experience from the Aligner Intensive Fellowship helped equip him with the expertise to handle more complex cases of misalignment.

Additionally, Dr. Ambriz is our onsite prosthodontist and is certified to take on misalignment with Invisalign®.

  • Invisalign® Aligners – Straightening crooked teeth is more than just a cosmetic concern, but that doesn’t mean your smile’s appearance isn’t a priority. With Invisalign® aligners, you can benefit from a straighter, healthier smile while still maintaining your smile’s natural appearance. The aligners are virtually invisible, so they’ll remain discreet throughout the course of your treatment, which may be conducted by our board-certified orthodontist, Dr. Mo.
  • Braces – With traditional braces, Dr. Mo and our team attach brackets to the front-facing sides of your teeth, whereas lingual braces use brackets and wires that are connected to the back of the teeth. Braces help improve your smile by correcting jaw alignment, straightening teeth, and improving overall oral health, and are often recommended when you have a more substantial case of misalignment.
