Orthodontics in Salt Lake City
Have you ever wished for a confident, stunning smile? Orthodontic treatment can give you just that! If you’re looking to straighten and improve the alignment of your teeth, traditional braces and Invisalign® are two proven orthodontic options worth looking into.
Whether your family comprises children, teenagers, or adults who need their self-esteem boosted, the Amigos Dental Care orthodontics team can find an orthodontic solution based on your age, current alignment, and preferences.
What is orthodontics, and how is it beneficial?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that concentrates on diagnosing, preventing, managing, and correcting misaligned teeth, jaws, and bite patterns. Common reasons why people seek orthodontic treatment include:
- Enhancing aesthetics and boosting confidence
- Improving oral hygiene
- Correcting overbites, underbites, open bites, and other jaw alignment issues
- Improving spacing between the teeth
- Addressing speech, eating, or other issues that impact daily life
Orthodontics for Patients of All Ages
Abnormal alignment is widespread. To achieve desired outcomes, Amigos Dental Care offers traditional metal braces and Invisalign® aligners. Braces have been around since the 1800s and have proven effective in creating beautiful smiles by correcting crooked teeth. On the other hand, clear aligners are a more modern approach as it is virtually invisible yet still provide excellent results with minimal discomfort.
Both orthodontic treatments can help patients of all ages obtain straighter smiles, but our orthodontic team can help you decide which treatment is most suitable for you or your child. Learn more about our orthodontic solutions by navigating through our treatment pages:

Until your next appointment, feel free to review our most-asked questions regarding orthodontics:
- What’s the difference between dentistry and orthodontics?
Dentistry is an all-encompassing medical field that focuses on treating the teeth, gums, jaw, and other parts of the mouth. Orthodontics is more specialized and is used to correct misalignment.
- How do I know if I need orthodontics?
Teeth that are visibly crowded or crooked, difficult to keep clean, or cause the individual to bite or cut their tongue are apparent signs that one would need orthodontic treatment. However, our Salt Lake City orthodontics team can look closer at your alignment and identify whether you would benefit from metal braces, Invisalign®, or other orthodontic treatment.
- What happens at the first orthodontic appointment?
Our orthodontic team will visually examine the patient’s alignment and take X-rays to capture a more accurate picture of the teeth and mouth. If braces or clear aligner treatment is the best course of treatment, our specialist will create a customized treatment plan as well as answer any questions that one might have regarding orthodontic treatment.
