Our Orthodontic Treatment Options
Dr. Wood offers various orthodontic solutions to address multiple dental concerns. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or bite irregularities, we have the expertise and treatment options to help you achieve optimal results.
Our orthodontic treatments include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. Each treatment option offers unique benefits, and Dr. Wood works closely with patients to determine the most appropriate solution based on their specific needs and preferences.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are a reliable and time-tested orthodontic treatment that effectively corrects a wide range of dental alignment issues. Modern advancements have made metal braces smaller and more comfortable, suitable for patients of all ages.
- Metal brackets are bonded to each tooth and connected by an archwire that applies gentle, consistent pressure to shift teeth gradually.
- Regular office visits allow Dr. Wood to adjust the braces and monitor treatment progress for optimal results.
- Effective for treating severe crowding, significant spacing, and complex bite problems.
- Recommended for patients needing comprehensive tooth movement or dealing with challenging orthodontic cases.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces provide the same tooth-straightening benefits as traditional metal braces but with a more discreet, natural look. These braces are designed for patients who want effective treatment without the noticeable appearance of metal brackets.
- Made from tooth-colored ceramic material that blends with your natural smile.
- Ceramic brackets resist staining when patients maintain proper oral hygiene and follow care instructions.
- Ideal for older teens and adults seeking improved aesthetics during treatment.
- Dr. Wood and the team provide detailed care instructions to keep ceramic braces looking their best.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays. This removable option allows patients to maintain their lifestyle and oral hygiene without interruption.
- Patients wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series.
- Aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning teeth.
- Suitable for mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, and some bite irregularities.
- Dr. Wood evaluates each case to determine if clear aligners are the best treatment choice.
Bite Correction and Specialized Treatments
Beyond straightening teeth, our orthodontic practice specializes in correcting various bite problems affecting oral health and function. Dr. Wood has extensive experience treating overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
Bite correction addresses functional issues that can lead to jaw problems, tooth wear, and difficulty chewing or speaking. The doctor uses advanced orthodontic techniques to reposition teeth and jaws into proper alignment gradually.
Our team understands that bite problems can impact more than just appearance. We work diligently to address functional concerns while creating beautiful, healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
Treatment Process and Patient Experience
The orthodontic journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Wood examines your teeth, takes necessary imaging, and discusses treatment options. We provide detailed information about each treatment approach, including the expected timeline and care requirements.
During active treatment, patients visit our office regularly for monitoring and adjustments. The staff ensures each appointment is efficient and comfortable, respecting patients’ time while providing thorough care.
We maintain open communication throughout treatment, addressing any questions or concerns. Our team provides detailed instructions for caring for orthodontic appliances and maintaining oral health during treatment.
Maintaining Your Beautiful Smile
Successful orthodontic treatment extends beyond the active treatment phase. Dr. Wood provides comprehensive guidance on maintaining your newly straightened smile, including wearing retainers as directed.
Retainers for life help ensure your orthodontic investment maintains its value by keeping teeth in their new positions. We offer various retainer options and provide ongoing support to help patients maintain their beautiful smiles for years to come.
Our team educates patients about proper oral hygiene techniques and regular dental care that supports long-term orthodontic success. We want every patient to enjoy the benefits of their orthodontic treatment for a lifetime.
