We offer free consultations to help families determine whether orthodontic treatment is needed, without the added pressure of cost. In fact, all follow-up exams are free until you or your family member receives an orthodontic appliance.
At BracesBracesBraces, we use an “8 is Great” philosophy, which suggests your child see an orthodontist before the age of 8. Some problems, such as underbites and cross bites, can be addressed before patients are ready for full orthodontic treatment, and can minimize the time spent with braces or aligners later.
Traditional braces feature metal brackets and wires that are glued to the teeth to help them connect and move. They work by putting pressure on the teeth and slowly moving them to correct crowded, crooked or misaligned teeth.
Clear ceramic braces work the same way as traditional braces, but they use clear or tooth-colored material instead of metal. Ceramic braces are adjusted periodically by your orthodontist in the office.
Clear aligners are clear, plastic-like trays that are far less noticeable than traditional metal or ceramic braces. Clear aligners can be used to correct gaps, overbites, underbites or crowded teeth.
The impressionless 3D digital scanner is an innovative new tool that captures the shape and size of your teeth and gums using digital technology. In the past, impressions were created using a gooey, putty-like material that was much messier.
Retainers are used to hold teeth straight after treatment. Occasionally, retainers can be used to make small movements to teeth. Because teeth often move throughout your life whether you’ve had braces or not, it is often recommended that patients wear their retainers every night to make sure teeth don’t move back to their original position.
Botox is a safe, non-surgical treatment used to treat a variety of dental-related conditions, including TMJ disorder, migraines, cosmetic smile issues and facial wrinkles. Dentists are uniquely qualified to consider Botox as part of a more comprehensive assessment.
Fillers are injectable gels made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. They are used to enhance the volume and structure of the lips.
PDO stands for polydioxanone, a biodegradable synthetic polymer that breaks down naturally in the body. PDO threads are used to fill in facial folds and enhance curves and definition in the lips by encouraging your body to make its own collagen in the area.
