What makes a perfect smile? Bright, white teeth, perfectly aligned with no visible signs of imperfection? Perhaps. But how do people achieve those ideal smiles? Are they born with them? Most of the time, a perfect smile results from orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. The two areas of dental work support one another to create perfect smiles. Your perfect smile is ready for you to claim right now.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in treating malocclusion. Malocclusion is the official word to describe any teeth or jaw misalignment. Specifically, orthodontics deals with the alignment of the teeth. While a dentist is concerned with the overall health of the teeth, an orthodontist works on the appearance and function of teeth.
Typically, orthodontics means braces, but that is not always the only treatment. At Diamond Dental Spa, the Invisalign® tray alignment system is used with cosmetic dentistry practices to take smiles to the next level.
A properly aligned bite is healthier for you. When teeth are overlapped, crooked, or rotated they create a daily cleaning challenge. Helping even a couple of slightly misaligned teeth find their proper place can leave you with a healthier mouth. Straight teeth make oral hygiene more effective.
Your smile also ties into overall health. An aligned bite makes chewing more effortless and more efficient. That leads to better digestion. Better digestion helps your body with the absorption of the nutrients that fuel your body.
While having a beautiful smile may seem like a completely cosmetic issue, it is actually a whole-body health boost!
While it is true that a perfect smile is excellent for your physical health, it has also been documented that a great smile can help your mental health. Healthy, straight smiles build confidence and self-esteem.
Confident people smile more, and the more they smile, the more confident they become. It's a vitalizing cycle that you can jump into by choosing Diamond Dental Spa. Dr. Zin Kohan can create a custom treatment plan to improve your smile that may include several areas of both cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics.

When you were a teenager, you wanted a straight smile, and your new adult teeth were crooked. Unfortunately, your parents weren't able to make that happen for whatever reason. We understand at Diamond Dental Spa. The good news -- you are never too old to have a straight smile.
Orthodontics involves teeth straightening while maintaining proper jaw alignment, combining beauty and function. Identifying problems when a child is growing may allow for easier treatment, but it's never too late to discuss ways to enhance your smile! Invisalign works on patients as young as six or seven and there is no upper age limit. If a straight smile is in your future, you can find it at Diamond Dental Spa.
Straight teeth aren't just for kids! Adults often make the most dedicated orthodontic patients, and it's never too late to discuss the options for a bright, straight smile. If you're not sure traditional braces are for you, don't worry. Invisible methods can work exceptionally well in many cases, and Dr. Zin Kohan can help you explore the possibilities.
