Orthodontics To Bring Confidence To Your Smile
For most people, a beautiful smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. Dr. Cramer wants to see his patients grow from someone who limits themselves to a ‘closed-mouth’ smile to being confident with their smile.
Your Orthodontic Journey
The stereotypes of painful orthodontics are gone. Today, orthodontic treatment is quick, simple, and less painful. While each tooth used to be guided by a metal band and bracket placed around it, today’s methods are more innovative. You can choose the color of your bands, opt for a less noticeable wire, and choose clear and virtually unseen brackets. Wires are also made with materials that allow teeth to move faster and with less discomfort, so now is a good time to choose braces!
The Duration of Your Treatment
Your treatment time will vary depending on your mouth and face growth, as well as the severity of your misalignment. Generally speaking, though, treatment times range from one to three years.
Treatment time can also be affected by the patient’s compliance and how they used the prescribed rubber bands and/or appliances. By following Dr. Cramer’s orders, you can achieve optimal teeth alignment without delay.
Correct Your Child's Smile
While the majority of our patients get braces in their teen years, orthodontic evaluation can begin as soon as age 7! By this age, your child’s first permanent molars and incisors are usually in, which means that we’re able to address issues with your child’s smile and evaluate whether or not they might benefit from orthodontics.
Build Confidence With A Straighter Smile
As a teenager, you’re at the perfect age to straighten your teeth. Our orthodontic treatment will not only improve your smile and overall appearance but also boost your self-esteem. We can help you achieve a straight smile without compromising your style with various discreet options like clear aligners or ceramic braces.
Is It Too Late for a Beautiful Smile?
No matter the age, orthodontic treatment can be successful. Although braces for adults might seem unnecessary or unwanted, it’s important to note that one in every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over the age of 21.
In adult patients, we find that jaw surgery is sometimes needed more than in younger patients, simply because adult jaws no longer grow. The ability to control the path of jaw growth is not available. It is also found in some adult patients a breakdown or a loss of teeth – or bone that supports the teeth – that could require periodontal treatment as well as orthodontic treatment. Regardless of the treatment you need prior to your orthodontic care, we can assist.
Unlock Your Best Smile, At Any Age
Having abnormally protruding teeth looks bad aesthetically. Beyond this, these teeth are also particularly susceptible to trauma and chipping.
