Some of the orthodontic treatment options available at Dr. Saikaly's practice include:

• Early intervention treatments for children, designed to prevent more severe orthodontic issues from developing
• Traditional metal braces, suitable for patients of all ages
• Ceramic braces, a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces
• Lingual braces, placed behind the teeth for maximum discretion
• Orthodontic appliances, such as retainers and habit appliances, to support treatment and prevent relapse

Dr. Saikaly's practice also offers flexible financing options and accepts various insurance coverage plans, making orthodontic care more accessible to a wider range of patients.

In addition to traditional orthodontic treatments, Dr. Saikaly's practice also provides clear aligner therapy, including Invisalign, as a discreet and effective solution for patients seeking to improve the alignment of their teeth. This innovative treatment option offers numerous clear benefits, including increased comfort, convenience, and aesthetic appeal.

By offering a range of aligner options, Dr. Saikaly's practice provides patients with the flexibility to choose the best solution for their lifestyle and preferences. With clear aligners, patients can achieve a straighter, healthier smile without the hassle of traditional metal braces.

Dr. Saikaly's orthodontic practice also provides traditional metal braces as a reliable and effective treatment option for patients seeking to address a range of orthodontic issues.

This tried-and-true approach has been refined over the years to provide premier results for patients of all ages. Metal brackets are carefully placed on the teeth, strategically positioned to exert gentle pressure and guide the teeth into their ideal alignment.

Metal braces have been used for decades to correct orthodontic issues, with a high success rate.

Metal brackets can be adjusted and fine-tuned to address specific orthodontic concerns.

Compared to other treatment options, metal braces can be a more affordable choice.

Metal braces are particularly well-suited for addressing more complex orthodontic issues, such as severe overcrowding or bite problems.

Dr. Saikaly's expertise guarantees that metal brackets are precisely placed for superior results.

Orthodontic care for children is a vital aspect of our practice, as early intervention can profoundly impact the development of a healthy, beautiful smile.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children visit an orthodontist by the age of seven to assess their oral development and identify any potential issues.

Early intervention can help prevent more severe problems from arising, such as overcrowding, crossbites, and tooth impaction.

By monitoring your child's oral development, we can identify the ideal time to initiate treatment, ensuring the most effective and efficient results.

Good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, are also essential in maintaining healthy teeth and gums during orthodontic treatment.

As an orthodontist, Dr. Elijah Saikaly is dedicated to providing personalized care and guidance to help your child achieve a beautiful, healthy smile that will last a lifetime.

Nearly one in four orthodontic patients is an adult, and this demographic is increasingly seeking treatment to improve the aesthetics and functionality of their smiles.

However, advancements in orthodontic technology have made treatment more discreet, efficient, and effective than ever before.

Some of the key benefits of adult orthodontic treatment include:

• Improved oral health and hygiene
• Enhanced self-confidence and overall well-being
• Better digestion and nutrition due to proper chewing and bite alignment

Do Orthodontic Treatments Affect Speech or Pronunciation?

Orthodontic treatments may temporarily impact speech patterns, potentially leading to articulation difficulties, as the tongue and lips adjust to the new tooth and jaw alignment; however, most patients adapt quickly, and speech returns to normal within a few weeks.

Can I Still Play Musical Instruments With Braces?

While wearing braces, individuals can continue playing musical instruments, albeit with adjustments. Initial difficulties may arise, but with practice, musical confidence is regained. Minor instrument adjustments, such as mouthpiece adaptations, may be necessary to guarantee comfortable playing.

Will I Need to Avoid Certain Foods During Treatment?

During orthodontic treatment, proper nutrition is crucial to follow a specific orthodontic diet to avoid damaging appliances and ensuring effective treatment. Food restrictions may apply, including avoiding hard, sticky, or crunchy foods that can compromise bracket stability and prolong treatment duration.

Can I Still Get a Cavity With Straight Teeth?

Straight teeth do not guarantee immunity to cavities. Proper oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups are vital to prevent tooth decay, as plaque and bacteria can still accumulate, even with perfectly aligned teeth.

Do Orthodontic Treatments Hurt or Cause Discomfort?

Orthodontic treatments can cause discomfort, but pain levels vary depending on individual pain thresholds. Mild soreness and orthodontic anxiety are common, but modern techniques and pain management strategies minimize discomfort, ensuring a smooth treatment experience.
