Adult Orthodontics & Loose Teeth: Saving Teeth Before, During, or After Braces

Shifting teeth requires a rock-solid foundation. Learn how to address loose teeth during orthodontic treatment.

The popularity of adult orthodontics, including traditional braces and clear aligners, has skyrocketed. However, moving teeth through bone safely requires an exceptionally healthy structural foundation.

THE ACCELERATED DANGER OF SHIFTING INFECTED TEETH

If you attempt to shift teeth using wires or trays while active, undiagnosed gum disease is present, the destructive process accelerates. Mechanical forces combined with bacterial inflammation cause rapid bone loss.

RE-ESTABLISH STRUCTURAL MATRIX BASE

We clean the roots completely to give the orthodontic appliance a firm, non-infected foundation to guide.

PROTECT MOVEMENT TRAJECTORIES SAFELY

Inspecting pocket health avoids unwanted tooth mobility spikes midway through structural alignment plans.

HOW LASERS SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATE WITH ORTHODONTICS

Our laser treatment can be safely utilized before, during, or after orthodontics without damaging existing brackets or wires. By eliminating underlying inflammation, we stabilize the surrounding bone matrix securely.
