Orthodontist — More Than Just Braces
Most people think that an Orthodontist Chappaqua just does braces. While they do work with braces for teeth straightening, the field of orthodontics is much more complex.
An orthodontist is a dentist that has an additional two to three years of specialized training. While a dentist is primarily concerned with the teeth, an orthodontist focuses on the shape of the mouth, the jaw, and the face. The primary goal of an orthodontist is to align the teeth and jaw for a straight and even bite. This enables patients to chew and speak properly, which can greatly improve physical and emotional health.

The orthodontic residency program includes intensive training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. This includes gaining experience in placing braces and other dental appliances to straighten teeth. Dentofacial orthopedics is concerned with the development of the face, teeth, and jaw.
When teeth are crowded, spaced oddly, or crooked, they present problems with brushing and flossing. Leaving food particles on teeth can accelerate tooth decay and cause other problems. By correcting alignment, an orthodontist works to create overall health in a patient.
Understanding the Importance of Orthodontist Chappaqua
Having a straight and perfect smile is not just a vanity issue. Although a straight smile is awesome to look at and instills confidence and self-esteem, the underlying health benefits far outweigh the vanity aspect. By correcting a misaligned smile, an orthodontist can also:
- Create a more even bite
- Make chewing easier
- Help with speaking difficulties
- Improve the symmetry of the face
- Ease temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems and pain
- Increase the ease of oral hygiene
When your dentist refers you to an orthodontist, it doesn’t always mean that braces are in your future. But if it does, some options include traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and even Invisalign.
Types of Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most commonly seen type of braces. They consist of small metal brackets that the orthodontist affixes to teeth. A small wire (the archwire) threads through each bracket. Tightening the archwire creates tension that creates the necessary force to move teeth. The brackets are much smaller than they were in the past making them more comfortable and less noticeable.
Clear, or ceramic, braces work in the same manner as traditional braces. The brackets are clear though, so your natural tooth coloration is visible. With a white wire, this style of braces is much less visible.
Invisalign is an almost invisible tray alignment system. Trays fit over your teeth and are worn 20 to 22 hours per day. Sequenced sets are used for about two weeks before shifting to the next set in the sequence.

Patient policies are designed to make the orthodontist experience positive. Although costs are dependent on the services necessary to correct smiles, the average cost of treatment plans is available. Treatment begins with a complimentary consultation. From there, staff will work with you to arrange a pricing plan that works within your budget.
What you can expect when you have your first orthodontic examination? The doctor will begin with an oral examination. This initial look allows the doctor to see potential areas of concern. Next, they will take photos of your face and smile, following that with X-rays. If braces are necessary, impressions of your teeth may be necessary.
The doctor will create an individual treatment plan and discuss that, complete with cost, payment, insurance information, and the length of time treatment will take. Any questions that you have about treatment will be answered before you begin treatment. It is very important to Dr. Eder that you understand all aspects of your treatment.
