YOUR ORTHODONTICS

Early Treatment

An orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, but there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but an examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment. Contact us today to find out if it is the right time for your child to begin orthodontics.

What are the benefits of early orthodontic evaluation?

 

Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity for more effective treatment. Prudent intervention by an orthodontist can help guide growth and development, preventing potential serious problems later. When orthodontic intervention is not necessary, Dr. Berman will carefully monitor your child’s growth and development and begin treatment when the time is right.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces use stainless steel brackets to adjust your teeth into the desired position. With today’s technology, brackets are smaller, making them less noticeable and more comfortable than braces have been in the past.

Ceramic/Clear Braces

Similar to traditional metal braces, these braces use a ceramic bracket that is almost invisible making your orthodontic treatment just as effective and less noticeable. This type of braces is more common adult patients because of their aesthetic appeal. 

Invisalign and Clear Aligners

These are clear aligners that are invisible, custom-made, computer plastic trays, that straighten teeth gradually without the use of visible brackets. A major advantage of aligners is that these aligners are all removable so there is no limitation on what you can eat or drink, and brushing and flossing is much easier than it is with braces. Aligners offer an alternative to traditional braces especially for adults that may be concerned about wearing braces.

One of the best things about aligners is the minimal impact they have on your everyday life. Since the aligners are so comfortable, you should be able to wear them for the recommended for 22 hours a day without much effort.

Adult Treatment

Braces are not just for kids anymore. Teeth can be straightened at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups- including adults.

Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important. Crooked teeth and a bad bite may contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw pain.

The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include traditional metal braces, clear braces or Invisalign. During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. After your photos and X-rays have been taken we will outline the treatment plan, time of treatment expected and the approximate cost. More adults are seeking orthodontic treatment today than ever before. It is never too late to improve your greatest asset – your smile.
