What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the alignment and correction of the teeth and jaw. While some believe orthodontics is all about looks, misaligned teeth can increase your likelihood of cavities, physical discomfort, and difficulties speaking and eating.
Orthodontics corrects these issues while giving you a wonderful smile that can help you feel like your best self.
Orthodontic Treatment at Clifton & Mauney
Orthodontic treatment has experienced some major advancements in the last few years. Gone are the days of clunky and noticeable appliances. Modern treatment options offer the perfect blend of sophisticated technology and comfort.
We provide many innovative orthodontic treatment options so that you can find one that best suits your smile needs.
Clear Aligners
Aligner-based treatments like Invisalign offer you smile correction with clear, removable aligners. Wear your clear aligners around 20-22 hours a day and remove them when it’s convenient, all without noticeable hardware.
Braces
Braces work around the clock to help perfect your smile. Clifton & Mauney has several innovative braces options for you to explore. Each of these choices are different, so it’s important to find the best one for your needs.
Ceramic Braces
Damon Braces
Damon Metal Braces incorporate a specialized design that eliminates the need for elastic ties. This means Damon Braces are “self-ligating.” As such, this design allows for treatment that some patients may find more comfortable.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces have been the treatment of choice for orthodontic patients for years with their durability and effectiveness. Using stainless steel brackets and wires, metal braces are a time-tested way to improve your smile.
Early Treatment
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should start visiting an orthodontist by the age of 7. This allows your orthodontist to intervene before minor concerns become major issues
Adult Treatment
We understand that, as an adult, you may have different needs and concerns when it comes to your orthodontic treatment. That’s why we have tailored our services to meet those needs while providing exceptional care and results.
Retainers
After completing orthodontic treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to keep your smile beautiful. You will continue to be followed by your orthodontist regularly to ensure your teeth remain in correct alignment. When you consistently wear your retainer, as instructed by your orthodontist and orthodontic team, then you will reap the most benefits from your time in orthodontic treatment.
