That is why we always have the best and latest state-of-the-art technology to help us do our job properly. Why is that important? It is important because the more modern the technology, the better the results, and if you want the best results, you can come to us to receive them.

Located in the heart of Arlington, Virginia, our dental office provides orthodontic care that fits into your busy life.

Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters?

Orthodontic care offers more than cosmetic benefits. A properly aligned bite and teeth can improve overall oral health, reduce the risk of tooth wear and gum disease, and enhance your ability to chew and speak effectively.

By addressing these issues, our orthodontic services help patients enjoy long-term benefits that go beyond a beautiful smile.

What are examples of orthodontic treatment?

There are different types of orthodontic treatments available, and it really depends on the specific needs of the patient. That is why the team at Bloom Dental of Arlington goes through everything with you and discusses your various orthodontic options when they know more about your specific dental needs. Some examples of treatments include braces (metal or ceramic), clear aligners, retainers, expanders, headgear, and Invisalign options.

How long will my results last after orthodontic treatment?

This is a great question and one that is important for patients to think about before they commit to any treatment. The truthful answer here is that it depends. It depends on how well you follow your post-treatment instructions and it depends on the extent of the misalignment in the first place. The results can last a lifetime if all goes well and you do what you are meant to do (which includes potentially wearing retainers and coming to regular check-ups).

Is orthodontics different from dentists?

If you want the short answer, it is; however, we are confident you want more details. All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists; it is a specialized branch of dentistry. In addition to general dentistry, orthodontists undergo additional training at dental school to learn more about teeth and jaw alignment and how to address the issues misalignment can cause. While dentists offer a broad range of general services, if you want a straighter smile and better bite, it is the orthodontist you need to see.

Who needs orthodontists?

Anyone can use a good orthodontist, and although you might initially think of children getting braces, adults can also benefit from orthodontic work. Anyone who has crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps, an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, difficulty chewing, or even jaw pain and discomfort can use an orthodontist’s help, no matter what age they might be.
When should I take my child to the orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists suggests that children have a check-up with an orthodontist at the age of seven. It is an excellent chance to assess the teeth and identify potential issues early on.
