Traditional Braces Ann Arbor
What sort of orthodontist would we be if we didn’t trust the basics? When it comes to moving teeth and realigning jaws, no one can deny that traditional braces get the job done.
Advancements in technology and thoughtful innovations have made conventional metal braces more comfortable and reliable than ever before. Trust the stainless steel to gradually move your teeth and resist a beating. You will still have to limit your choice of foods and drinks to avoid damage to your braces, but this option is the most durable of them all.
You could also choose to go the route of discretion and choose clear ceramic braces. Our Ann Arbor orthodontists understand that many patients want to rely on the traditional system provided by braces but also desire to avoid attracting any unwanted attention to their smiles during treatment. This is what ceramic braces are good for. Make sure you contact us to learn more about your options for straight teeth.
Invisalign Clear Aligners Ann Arbor
Adults and teenagers can use these clear aligner trays to get straight teeth in record time with additional benefits. The trays are removable and use non-BPA plastic that looks almost invisible to the naked eye.
Many of our patients choose this system to fix their crooked teeth or bad bites because they can also remove the trays when they go out for a bite or a drink with friends. Also, because the trays are removable, you can take them off to brush and floss your teeth, so keeping your mouth is a lot easier.
Get in touch with us to learn more about this innovative system.

FAQ
What do orthodontists do?
Orthodontists are specialists in dental alignment that focus on rearranging your dental structures to achieve an ideal relationship between them, improve their function, and enable better oral care.
Why should I (or my loved ones) get orthodontic treatment?
The two main reasons why anyone would consider orthodontic treatment include cosmetic improvements and oral health concerns. Successful orthodontic care will improve the way your smile looks and will undoubtedly make it easier to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
When should orthodontic treatment be started?
Ideally, children should first visit an orthodontist in Ann Arbor around the age of 7 to make sure that they receive proper guidance and oversight during their dental development. Doing so helps deal with potential orthodontic complications later in life and prevents problems with the child’s development, speech, bad habits (thumb sucking or tongue thrusting), and more.
How can I recognize a potential bite problem?
The first thing to do is determine if there’s a history of dental malalignment in the child’s family. Potential bite problems are also indicated by some signs, such as clenching, tooth grinding, locking of the jaws, jaw pain, tooth sensitivity, and constant headaches.
How long will treatment take?
Determining how long your orthodontic care in Ann Arbor will take is almost impossible without an initial review. Average treatment times can last anywhere between 18 and 36 months, but this will vary a lot depending on your specific circumstances.
How often will I come in for an appointment?
In general, you ¿’ll have to come to the orthodontist every 6 weeks, but this will change depending on your choice of appliance. Likewise, these visits may take longer or not, depending on the type of appliance you settle on for your care.
