We are always excited
Your initial appointment will consist of a discussion of potential treatment options. This visit will give us insight into your orthodontic needs.
During this examination for each patient, we will address the following questions that cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well. Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?
Is treatment needed now, or should treatment be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?
What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
How long will treatment take?
How much will it cost?
What are my payment options?
While we can often answer these general questions about treatment during the initial examination, we will address specific areas after careful analysis of the diagnostic records. We feel it is important to analyze each patient’s specific needs because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
What we offer
Many children require the guidance of dental and facial development as a first phase of orthodontic treatment, commonly called Phase 1 or Interceptive Orthodontics. If indicated, this is typically attempted in the mixed dentition or very early in the permanent dentition.
For crowding problems, some lost space can be regained using appliances to reposition teeth to their original positions Attempts to regain space are usually limited to mild or moderate crowding, depending on a number of variables.
What we offer
Orthodontic treatment corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly not only detract from one’s appearance, they also are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and gum disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a more pleasing appearance, a healthier mouth, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.
What we offer
We likewise offer a clinically proven treatment approach utilizing passive self-ligating brackets that eliminate the need for elastic/metal ligature ties and high technology wires that move teeth faster, requiring fewer adjustments. These self-ligating brackets have a unique sliding mechanism that minimizes the friction and binding of conventional braces, thus reducing pressure on the teeth and allowing them to move more comfortably to their correct positions. This revolutionary approach to orthodontics reduces discomfort throughout the treatment. While patients often pursue orthodontic alignment to improve their smile aesthetics, they will also reap oral health benefits. Value-added benefits include oral hygiene access, periodontal health, and accusal and masticatory
