At Sonshine Dental Care, we want you to enjoy the results you paid for... permanmently! We believe you deserve it. Too many orthodontic patients these days go through the trouble (time, money and effort) to get a beautiful and healthy smile, but are eventually disappointed when that new and improved smile doesn't entirely stay that way. The good news is that this scenario is avoidable. That is why we choose to employ functional orthodontics in our practice, which straightens your teeth faster and prevents them from relapsing. The results achieved through functional orthodontics are also more ideal, are accomplished much more quickly, and amazingly save you time and money for a variety of reasons.

Unlike functional orthodontics, traditional orthodontics often approaches treatment by simply attempting to undo the damage that has already been done...often without any consideration of what caused the damage to begin with. Any effective treatment must first identify and eliminate these damage causing variables in order to prevent the damage from re-occurring . Traditional orthodontic treatment also primarily utilizes orthodontic devices and surgical procedures to achieve its results. These methods are more invasive and expensive, and all too often end up achieving their limited results very slowly... results that tend to be fairly temporary. Often as soon as the patient stops wearing their retainer, the teeth begin to slowly relapse into an undesirable positon very similar to where they were before treatment. This is unfortunate, but does not need to be the case.
