Orthodontics

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for choosing to receive orthodontic care. If you’re self-conscious about your smile, having braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you’ve always dreamed of as well as the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, so our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose brackets that are clear or metallic, and in some cases, choose the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Duration of Treatment

Depending on several factors, including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is, treatment time varies and can last between one and three years. For children, receiving interceptive, or early treatment, can also help provide a quicker treatment time later on in life. A big factor to a successful treatment is you, the patient! The more involved and diligent you are, the quicker and more efficient your treatment will be.

Before beginning your orthodontic care, your doctor will discuss all of your options and provide an estimate for how long your full treatment may take. Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment and learn more about orthodontics and the treatments we provide.

Sm;)ers® Clear Aligners

Have you always wanted straighter teeth? Don’t want the hassle or unsightly appearance of braces? Get the smile you’ve always desired with Sm;lers Clear Aligners.

Reveal Your Smile

Sm;lers Clear Aligners are a simple, discreet, and affordable solution for straighter teeth.

Sm;lers Aligners are practically invisible and stay clear throughout treatment – no yellowing or staining. With Sm;lers, you wear each tray for two weeks, and they are guaranteed to stay clear throughout the course of treatment.

Most dentist-provided aligner systems require attachments or “buttons” that are glued to your teeth. Attachments can be aggravating. They require time at the dentist’s office to place on your teeth, and some patients think they are unsightly.

Sm;lers was specially designed to reduce the need for attachments. Sm;lers uses a unique material and manufacturing process that results in a secure fit to hug the teeth, resulting in tooth movement with fewer attachments or no attachments in most cases.

Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth by using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
