Orthodontic Services We Offer

Traditional Braces

For patients looking for a reliable and effective way to straighten their teeth, traditional braces are a great option. Using metal brackets and wires, braces gradually shift teeth into their ideal position. This method is effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor crowding to more severe misalignment.

Clear Aligners for a Discreet Smile

For patients seeking a less noticeable orthodontic solution, we offer Clear Aligners. Clear aligners work similarly to braces by gradually shifting teeth, but they are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and cleaning. This makes them an attractive option for both teens and adults looking for a more subtle way to straighten their smile.

Customized Treatment Plans

Every patient’s orthodontic needs are unique. At Straight River Family Dental, we evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite to create a customized orthodontic treatment plan that fits your individual needs. Whether you opt for traditional braces or clear aligners, our goal is to provide you with excellent results in the most comfortable way possible.

The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics goes beyond cosmetic improvements. Properly aligned teeth offer numerous health benefits, including:

• Improved Oral Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to clean, which can reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
• Better Functionality: Correcting bite issues can make chewing more efficient and reduce strain on the jaw.
• Long-Term Health Benefits: Orthodontic treatment can help prevent excessive wear on the teeth and even alleviate certain jaw issues, such as TMJ.

Whether you’re seeking braces for your child or yourself, orthodontic treatment is an investment in long-term oral health and well-being.
