Common Orthodontic Treatments
At Foster Orthodontics, we offer a range of orthodontic treatments to address various dental concerns and help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.
Here are some of the most common treatments we provide:
Common Types of Appliances
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces consist of brackets, wires, and bands that are bonded to the teeth. They apply gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Metal braces are effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues and are suitable for patients of all ages.
Clear Braces
Clear braces work similarly to traditional braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets and wires for a more discreet appearance. Clear braces are an excellent option for patients who desire a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient and are virtually invisible when worn. They are removable for eating, brushing, and flossing, offering greater convenience and flexibility during treatment.
Space Maintainers
Space maintainers are appliances used to preserve space in the dental arch following premature tooth loss. They prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the space and help guide the eruption of permanent teeth.
Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders are used to widen the upper jaw to correct crossbites, crowding, and other orthodontic issues. They are often recommended for children during their early orthodontic treatment phase.
Retainers
Retainers are custom-made appliances worn after orthodontic treatment to maintain the position of teeth and prevent them from shifting back to their original position. They can be removable or fixed and are an essential part of maintaining the results of orthodontic treatment.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Lang Foster will evaluate your orthodontic needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to achieve your desired outcomes. We’re committed to providing personalized care and guiding you through every step of your orthodontic journey.
