We use LightForce 3D-printed clear brackets, which allow us to custom-craft every aspect of your smile. Utilizing state-of-the-art digital treatment planning software, Dr. Conn and Dr. Segal create a digital mockup of your treatment and planned final result (that you can see on a computer screen before you start!) and then we 3D print custom brackets that fit your unique teeth precisely.
Damon metal braces are an innovative orthodontic treatment that offers a more comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional braces. Unlike traditional metal braces that use elastic bands to hold the archwire in place, Damon braces utilize a unique, self-ligating system. This system features a sliding door mechanism built into each bracket that allows the wire to move freely and apply gentle, continuous pressure. This advanced technology significantly reduces friction and the need for frequent adjustments, resulting in a faster, more comfortable, and less conspicuous treatment experience.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an attractive option for those seeking a discreet way to improve their smile. The aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable plastic and are designed to fit snugly over your teeth. Every few weeks, the aligners are switched out for a new set, each one slightly adjusted to guide your teeth into the desired position. This innovative treatment is not only effective but also allows for easy maintenance of oral hygiene, as the aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Most kids and teenagers are candidates for all the benefits of Invisalign treatment, which works great for a child who wants a more beautiful and confident smile, but doesn't want traditional braces. Designed for even the tiniest of smiles, Invisalign can provide your child with a positive orthodontic experience without wires and metal brackets.
If it’s being done, we do it! Our doctors are highly-trained specialists - when braces and Invisalign alone are not the most appropriate treatment options for you, here are just a few of the other techniques we may recommend:
A palate expander is an appliance placed on the roof of the mouth to expand the upper jaw to alleviate crowding, crossbites, and other issues.
A space maintainer is a fixed or removable appliance that is essential after a baby tooth is lost early. A space maintainer protects the space young patients need for their adult teeth to emerge.
A retainer is customized to keep your teeth straight and make sure your smile lasts a lifetime. Retainers can be clear or made from a variety of fun colors. We also offer a bonded retainer, which is a fixed wire hidden on the backside of your teeth.
When absolutely necessary, we partner with the area’s most accomplished oral surgeons to correct jaw abnormalities in patients. Surgery can improve your ability to chew, speak and breathe, while also delivering tremendous facial transformations. This type of collaborative treatment is only recommended after discussion with you and careful analysis of your x-rays, 3D models, and photographs.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have a screening with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7.
