Dr. Taavar’s passion for orthodontics focuses on comprehensive orthodontic treatment, including the use of metal wires with orthodontic brackets made from stainless steel or ceramic material. Advanced methods like Invisalign or other aligner trays are also part of Dr. Taavar’s expertise. As an orthodontist, Dr. Taavar recognizes characteristics of malocclusion or dentofacial deformities, defines the nature of problems, and designs treatment strategies tailored to each patient’s needs and desires.
What is Orthodontics?
Children, teens, and adults can have problems with crooked teeth, but fortunately, there are orthodontic treatments available to straighten teeth and address these issues. Traditional metal braces are highly effective for children, helping to correct alignment issues over an average treatment duration of two years.
Teens and adults often prefer Invisalign aligners, as they are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. These clear aligners, changed every two weeks, gradually reposition teeth to achieve the desired alignment. With Invisalign, maintaining oral hygiene during treatment becomes much easier compared to traditional braces.
Dr. Shamtoub at Canarsie Family Dentistry offers advanced orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages. Crooked teeth can lead to difficulty in cleaning, potential oral health issues, and hinder an attractive smile.
