Treatment for Patients of All Ages
Early Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child receives his or her first orthodontic screening by age 7. With early intervention, we can recognize potential problems and correct them before they become more severe.
Early interceptive orthodontic treatment has proven to be beneficial for the desired result. Because a young child’s permanent teeth have not finished erupting, we’re able to thoroughly evaluate and address any impending or immediate problems such as potential crowing, overbite, or gummy smiles at the earliest stage.
Adolescent Treatment
By age 12, most, if not all permanent teeth have erupted and are in place. This is when crooked teeth, gaps, and irregular bites are more easily detected. These problems will hardly ever correct themselves, so this is when most parents decide to seek orthodontic treatment for their children.
Children at this age are growing rapidly, and orthodontists can usually take advantage of these growth spurts to help correct and shape the bite and teeth.
Adult Treatment
Types of Braces
Metal Braces
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces, however, the brackets are clear, so they are less noticeable and more cosmetically appealing.
Clear Aligners
Retention Treatment
Hawley Retainers
Fixed Retainers
Bonded lingual retainers are cemented directly to the inside surface of your lower canines. They’re sturdy, non-visible, and prevent lower teeth from shifting. Many patients prefer fixed retainers because they’re less susceptible to damage and loss, and they also don’t affect speech.
