Orthodontic Care for Patients of All Ages
It is a common misconception that orthodontic treatments are only beneficial at an early age. While they are effective for children and teens, many adults can also achieve a straight, healthy smile, even at a later stage. At our practice, we offer a wide range of complex orthodontic treatments that are customized according to your age, oral health issues, and lifestyle habits.
Surgical Orthodontics
In severe cases of jaw or bite misalignment, orthodontic appliances alone may not be enough to correct the issue. Surgical orthodontics (also known as orthognathic surgery) combines orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery to improve oral functions and overall facial symmetry. We only recommend this approach when the jaw growth is complete, which is typically around age 16 for females and 18 for males.
Questions About Complex Orthodontic Treatments?
Airway Orthodontics
Certain orthodontic issues can increase the risk of airway blockage and breathing issues, particularly during sleep. With airway orthodontics, we use special techniques to guide jaw development that reduce the risk of sleep apnea and related issues. Your treatment plan may involve jaw expansion, bite correction, or other orthodontic appliances to help open the airway and improve your overall health.
Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic care is not just for children. At our practice, we provide different orthodontic solutions for adults that not only straighten your smile, but also offer many functional benefits. With advanced braces and discreet options like Invisalign®, we can address various issues such as crowding, spacing, and bite misalignment.
Teen Orthodontics
If your teen feels insecure about their smile due to crooked teeth, we can help them achieve a confident look with teen orthodontics. Treatment during teenage years can offer excellent results because the teeth and jaws are still developing. Dr. Brad and his team can adjust the treatment plan according to your teen’s orthodontic needs and smile goals.
Kids Orthodontics
For younger patients, early orthodontic care can help prevent more severe issues later on. We offer specialized orthodontic treatments for children, focusing on guiding their teeth and jaw development. We also provide oral appliances for correcting habits like thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting, which can impact your child’s smile.
