Traditional Braces

Braces are a great option for fixing many orthodontic problems like overbites, underbites, gaps, and crooked teeth. They are made of metal brackets attached to your teeth’s front surfaces. These brackets are linked by a wire that gently pulls your teeth into place over time. We like to use Edgewise brackets because they are more comfortable and less noticeable than traditional bulky metal braces.

Invisalign®

Invisalign®

This popular method discreetly straightens teeth using a specific number of clear, customized plastic aligners that are nearly invisible. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners can be taken out when eating, brushing, flossing, and during certain physical activities. When the treatment plan is followed, Invisalign effectively treats mild to moderate dental misalignment. Patients need to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily. Treatment duration varies, ranging from six months to over a year, depending on individual cases.

Hybrid Treatment

Our dentists provide a hybrid treatment option for intricate misalignment cases, combining clear aligner therapy with Edgewise braces. After the clear aligners have effectively adjusted the patient’s teeth, braces are then used to complete the treatment more quickly. The convenience of this approach means all procedures can be completed in one place, eliminating the need for appointments with an orthodontist.

Orthodontic treatment offers a wide array of benefits beyond just improving the appearance of your smile. Here are some of the key advantages:

  • Reducing the risk of dental trauma
  • Improved speech and pronunciation

The Orthodontics Treatment Procedure

Orthodontic treatment is not a rapid solution, often lasting a year or more, contingent on the individual and the chosen orthodontic method. Our dentists typically initiate orthodontic treatment for patients around the age of 12 to 13, once adult teeth have fully emerged. Nevertheless, numerous individuals choose to postpone orthodontic therapy until adulthood. Overall, you can anticipate that your treatment plan will encompass:

Treatment Planning

Initially, your dentist will capture detailed digital x-rays of your bite at the office. Using these images, they will subsequently discuss your treatment alternatives and address any inquiries you may have. During this consultation, we can offer you an estimate and explore payment options.

Begin Treatment

After you and your dentist have decided on the most suitable option, they will either arrange for the placement of your braces or supply you with personalized Invisalign or SureSmile trays. The quantity of trays will be determined based on your requirements.

Checkups

As time passes, your teeth will gradually align with the assistance of your fixed or removable orthodontic devices. By maintaining proper care and attending regular dental check-ups at the office, your dentist can ensure that your treatment progresses smoothly.

Maintenance
To preserve the new alignment of your teeth after completing treatment, it is necessary to wear retainers overnight consistently. In numerous instances, Invisalign patients can conveniently utilize their final aligner as a retainer.
