Healthy teeth are tied to a healthy life. Vincelli Orthodontics, with locations in Calgary and Canmore, is committed to providing the highest standard of care for patients, who range in age from 3 to 83!
“My main goal as an orthodontist is to strive for proper function of the teeth and the jaws. Once they are functioning properly, they also happen to look aesthetically pleasing,” says Dr. Robert Vincelli.
“For our younger patients, we focus on helping jaws grow in order to avoid more complicated and invasive procedures as they get older. In teens, we encourage jaw growth and getting teeth aligned and fitted properly. With our adult patients, we have aesthetic options for straightening teeth, such as clear, removable aligners and we work closely with dentists for long term dental health.”
Vincelli Orthodontists work with the gamut of dental issues – from crossbites to overbites, crowding, shifts in the teeth which can lead to a whole host of health issues, including gum recession, dental wear, bone loss around the teeth and jaw pain. If ignored, these can lead to the eventual loss of teeth. “There is also emerging research showing the link between small jaws and sleep apnea. With children, we are able to catch these problems early, and as such have the opportunity to enhance growth of the jaw to prevent more complicated and detrimental health problems in the future,” says Dr. Vincelli.
Vincelli Orthodontics also diagnose and treat TMJ Disorder. The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is a hinge connecting the jaw to the temporal bones of the skull, allowing the jaw to move up and down and side to side, facilitating speech and eating. When the jaw bones are balanced and healthy they support the proper movement – if the teeth and/or jaw become misaligned, TMJ Disorder can become a problem, causing jaw pain, ringing in years, and headaches – significantly impacting quality of life.
Vincelli Orthodontics can catch this early in children, teens and adults and provide exceptional treatment – which could involve splints, surgery or more. “This is a complicated disorder that involves pain and dysfunction of the muscles that control the lower jaw. With our treatment, we are able to relieve symptoms as well as properly diagnose issue with how the teeth are fitting,” says Dr. Vincelli.
Vincelli Orthodontics also offers a digital scanner, where patients can preview their virtual results before starting treatment. With three locations to serve patients, Vincelli Orthodontics is proud to help patients improve their dental health, and keep their smiles healthy.
