Orthodontic Harmony

Everybody wants to feel confident and when smiling. Additionally, people also want to be able to eat, chew, and talk normally. Orthodontic treatment can help treat individuals with misaligned teeth, which can make eating, chewing and speaking, difficult.

Lingual orthodontics, or invisible braces, are unique in that the brackets used to straighten your smile are placed on the inside of your teeth, rather than the outside like with traditional braces.

For some adults, orthognathic surgery is necessary when the upper and lower jaws are misaligned. Dr. Cheung has many years of experience in jaw alignment surgery cases.

Traditional and clear braces provide similar benefits and similar treatment time, but clear braces come with the esthetic benefit of limited visibility

“Is Orthodontic Treatment Covered by Insurance?” This is a great question that we get asked all the time in our practice. Dental insurance is widely available and many individuals have dental insurance through their employer. Depending on the dental plan, it may or may not offer orthodontic benefits. The natural follow-up question would be, “How do I find out if my plan provides orthodontic benefits?” It’s easy to determine whether you are eligible for orthodontic benefits by simply checking with your dental insurance provider. In addition to calling member services, most insurance providers offer the ease and convenience of an online account where you can check your eligibility for benefits. If you are unsure as to how to do this, feel free to call us at 914-923-5089 and we are more than happy to help as we are experienced in checking our patients’ eligibility.

Adult orthodontics is extremely popular nowadays. In fact, adults make up about one-third of our practice. Orthodontic technology has advanced significantly in the past decade and there are now many attractive and comfortable options for adults. Lingual braces are invisible, Invisalign is virtually invisible, and brackets are smaller and more comfortable than ever. Adult patients often ask us if it’s “too late” for orthodontic treatment. It is certainly not too late (as Dr. Cheung has patients in their 70s!), and we are able to move adult teeth gently and effectively to ensure efficient treatment.

We hope that these tips help to guide your decision. Give us a call at 914-923-5089 to schedule your appointment today. We look forward to meeting you!

Also known as the “Corrective Jaw Surgery”, this procedure is designed to rectify any conditions related to the structure of the jaws and teeth. Aside from that, the surgery also aims to enhance an individual’s appearance and comfort in breathing, chewing, and speaking.

When we think about braces and orthodontic treatment, we often imagine pre-teens, but there are good reasons for your child to have an orthodontic evaluation much sooner. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7.

In our last post, we discussed the importance of bringing your child in for his or her first orthodontic evaluation at age 7. In this post, we will show you problems to look out for in your child that can be resolved with orthodontic intervention. The American Association of Orthodontists and Dr. Tracy Li Cheung recommends that you schedule an orthodontic evaluation if your child has any of the following problems:

Orthodontists are dental specialists uniquely qualified in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of orthodontic problems. They dedicate their professional lives to creating healthy, beautiful smiles in children, teens and adults. Well-aligned teeth are more than attractive: they make it possible to bite, chew and speak effectively. Orthodontic care is often part of a comprehensive oral health plan.

Orthodontics involves more than just straightening teeth. Specially trained orthodontists, rather than general dentists, understand the complexity of growth development and facial form. Treatment plans include issues related to the jaw and bite, not just movement of teeth, which is why you want to receive care from someone trained in this specific type of dentistry.

Patients wonder what differentiates a Board Certified Orthodontist from an Orthodontist. The majority of the general public assume all orthodontists are board certified. Some orthodontists may advertise themselves as “Board Eligible”, but the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) does not recognize this label. You can always verify that your Orthodontist is Board Certified by using the ABO’s Orthodontist Locator.
