Orthodontics
Teeth-alignment problems are not just a cosmetic concern — they can significantly impact your oral and overall health. Issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, difficulty chewing, and even chronic headaches are often linked to misaligned teeth. That’s why orthodontics in Harrisburg NC plays an important role in long-term dental wellness.
At FRESHDental in Harrisburg, NC, our dentists identify alignment concerns as early as possible to protect your health, comfort, and quality of life, then recommend the most effective orthodontic solution for your needs.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on correcting crowding, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and other dental misalignments. Drs. Bouali, Johal, and Dunning have extensive experience realigning crooked, overlapping, and gapped teeth using modern orthodontic techniques. This approach allows many patients to receive comprehensive care alongside related general dentistry services in Harrisburg, often eliminating the need for an outside referral while preventing more serious dental problems from developing.
FRESHDental’s Orthodontics
The term “orthodontics” most likely evokes images of silver and gray wired braces attached to a teenager’s teeth, along with an endless number of trips to the orthodontist. But modern-day orthodontics allow us to provide some teeth-straightening orthodontic treatments — most of which are clear or nearly invisible — along with routine, restorative, and cosmetic care. Our orthodontic treatments include:
Invisalign® is a series of clear, removable aligners that straighten your teeth over the course of 12 months

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How long does it take to straighten teeth?
A: At FRESHDental, we have many teeth-straightening solutions available for patients of all ages, including solutions that are nearly invisible and can significantly change your alignment in as little as six months. The time it will take to straighten your teeth largely depends on the severity of your condition.
Q: What are invisible braces?
A: Like an orthodontist, we are able to straighten your smile with tooth-straightening systems that are nearly invisible, such as Invisalign. Both of these systems use clear materials (i.e., clear brackets and wiring, and removable aligners) that are discreet and comfortable.
Q: Does everyone need braces?
A: No. Only patients with misalignment problems need to wear braces. The best way to find out if you or your child will need braces is to call and set up an appointment for a consultation with Drs. Bouali, Johal, and Dunning.
