Get a Confident Smile
From Dr. Matt Tsai, Your Braces Guy
Orthodontic problems? They happen to kids, teens, and adults. Very few people have perfect teeth from the start.
A "bad bite" or malocclusion can make chewing tough, oral hygiene tricky, speaking clearly a challenge, and your looks a little affected.
Bad bites might come from your family or from things like thumb sucking, dental diseases, not taking care of your teeth, accidents, or other health issues.
Dr. Matt uses the newest tech and his know-how to fix many dental problems right here at Dr. Matt Orthodontics in Beaverton. We're ready to help:
- Gaps between teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Protruding teeth
- Impacted teeth
With Dr. Matt's approach, getting a healthier, more beautiful smile is within reach for everyone.
Metal Braces & Customized Treatment Choices
A lot of our patients at Dr. Matt Orthodontics pick traditional metal braces to straighten their teeth.
Metal braces are well-liked in Beaverton, but we've got lots of other choices, too. Dr. Matt will chat with you during your free first visit to determine the best plan for your smile based on your needs and wants.
Understanding Your Treatment Appliances
Our team at Dr. Matt Orthodontics wants to make sure you know all about your treatment choices. It's important to know the difference between appliances that stay put and those you can take out.
Dr. Matt puts on fixed appliances, like braces, that stay on your teeth until your treatment is done. They're perfect for big changes.
For appliances you can remove, Dr. Matt offers clear aligners. You wear them most of the day but can take them out to eat or brush. They're great for fixing mild to moderate issues and are super convenient.
No matter if you need braces for big fixes or like the idea of clear aligners, Dr. Matt Orthodontics will help you find the best option for your smile.
Palatal Expanders
Think of a palatal expander as “growth gear” that sits on the roof of your child’s mouth. The expander nudges the upper jaw wider in baby‑step increments by turning a tiny key at home each night. Most kids barely notice it after the first few days, and in about six months, there’s fresh space for adult teeth to slide in without a squeeze.
How can palatal expanders help your child?
- Room for incoming teeth: More space up top means less crowding and a smoother path for braces (or sometimes fewer braces altogether).
- Healthier bite: A wider palate lines up the back teeth, easing chewing and speech.
- Better breathing: Opening the airway can cut down on mouth‑breathing and snoring.
Dr. Matt custom‑fits the expander in one short visit at our Beaverton office. You’ll give the key a quick turn at bedtime; we’ll check progress every few weeks. Once the palate reaches its new width, the appliance stays in place a bit longer to let bone settle—then it’s out, and your child is ready for the next stage of their smile makeover.
