ORTHODONTIST NEAR POWELL, OH

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces near Powell almost always help a crooked smile. After all, their components represent a tried-and-true orthodontic solution. You see, the metal wires initiate tooth movement while using the brackets as anchor sites. Throughout treatment, Dr. Mason will change said wires so your pearly whites keep moving into the optimal position.

Invisalign

As an alternative to “metal mouth,” you might like to try Invisalign. The latter’s clear, plastic trays align your smile without drawing attention to themselves. They’re being removable also means they won’t interfere with meals or dental care. The result is an orthodontic treatment that lets you stay confident even as it finishes faster than standard braces.

Self-Ligating Braces

With self-ligating braces, the archwire is held in place by the actual bracket – all thanks to a small metal door. As a result, this treatment puts less pressure on teeth than other orthodontic services. Better yet, these braces let teeth slide more easily on the wires. You then get to experience a faster, more efficient procedure.

Hidden Braces

Also known as lingual braces, hidden braces are placed on the backs of teeth. They’re thus nearly invisible and don’t reveal their presence. These braces are even digitally customized, ensuring they fit just right over your teeth and leave you with a straight grin. At Polaris Orthodontic Center, these effects stem from our using the Harmony and Incognito Systems that attach to the interior side of your teeth.

Clear Braces

Unlike bulky metal braces, clear braces use brackets and wires made of ceramic. Consequently, they seamlessly blend with the rest of your smile. Most people won’t even know they’re on your teeth! With that being the case, you won’t need to feel embarrassed about having the appliance. You don’t need to worry about quality, either, as these braces work just as well as any other kind.

Phase 1 Orthodontic Treatment

In general, Phase 1 orthodontics corrects alignment problems in young kids. These can range from crooked teeth and bite issues to subtle jaw growth troubles. Regardless, proper treatment in children under seven will prevent more severe challenges later. That said, a Phase 1 procedure will be undertaken with the idea that Phase II work will follow when the child is older.

Adult Braces

While orthodontics is often associated with kids and teens, our office also prioritizes adult treatment. It’s never too late for older patients to enhance their smiles and oral health.
