Orthodontics

Straightening your teeth isn’t just about appearance—it also improves your oral health and overall well-being. At Turlock Dental Care, we offer both metal braces and clear aligners to help you achieve a confident, healthy smile with a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Straighten your smile with orthodontics

A straight, healthy smile isn’t just about appearance—it also improves oral health and function. At Turlock Dental Care, we offer both metal braces and clear aligners to help patients of all ages achieve beautifully aligned teeth. Whether you need a comprehensive orthodontic solution or a more discreet option, our team will guide you to the best treatment for your needs.

Why orthodontic treatment matters

Orthodontic treatment does more than straighten teeth—it improves bite function, reduces the risk of dental issues, and enhances long-term oral health. Misaligned teeth can lead to uneven wear, difficulty chewing, and even jaw pain. By addressing these concerns early, you can prevent more serious dental problems in the future.

With modern orthodontic advancements, treatment is more comfortable and efficient than ever. At Turlock Dental Care, we use the latest technology to create precise treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Braces vs. clear aligners

Choosing the right orthodontic treatment depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and preferences. At Turlock Dental Care, we offer both metal braces and clear aligners to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Metal braces

Pros

  • Can treat even the most severe alignment issues

  • Durable and resistant to chipping or cracking

  • Work continuously without needing patient compliance

  • Typically more affordable than clear aligners

Cons

  • More visible compared to clear aligners

  • May cause mild irritation in the early stages of treatment

Clear aligners

Pros

  • Nearly invisible for a more discreet treatment

  • Comfortable and removable for eating and cleaning

  • Requires fewer office visits for adjustments

Cons

  • Not suitable for all orthodontic cases

  • Requires consistent wear for effective results

  • Can be misplaced or lost if not handled carefully

The right orthodontic option for you

Choosing between braces and clear aligners depends on your goals, lifestyle, and dental needs. If you prefer a worry-free, durable solution that can correct even the most complex cases, metal braces are a great option. If you want a more discreet treatment and are committed to wearing aligners as instructed, clear aligners may be a better fit.

At Turlock Dental Care, we offer expert guidance to help you make the best decision for your smile. Using advanced digital imaging technology, we provide a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs. No messy impressions—just a seamless, comfortable experience from start to finish.
