There are many different forms of Orthodontics, at Beautiful Smiles in Quakertown, PA our dentists utilize the following Orthodontics.
Clear Aligner Invisible Braces
Our clear aligner invisible braces treatment consists of a series of custom-made aligning trays. Your Quakertown, PA dentist changes the trays every several weeks to fit the new tooth configuration. In addition to the reduced visual impact, clear aligner invisible braces trays can be temporarily removed for important occasions – meaning that treatment duration is patient-controlled. Many people report complete satisfaction with both the clear aligner treatment and the stunning results of invisible braces.
Traditional Braces
Traditional orthodontics, of course, refers to metal braces. Even today, our dentists at Beautiful Smiles in Quakertown, PA believe braces are still the most tried and true orthodontic treatment available. Braces can handle a wide variety of issues ranging from simple to complex. They are extremely durable and very cost-effective, making them perfect for younger patients and adults alike. Braces still use brackets and wires like they always have, but modern-day braces are now smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever.
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards help to protect your teeth from impact injuries and to cushion impacts to reduce mouth, teeth and jaw trauma. They can also help to protect you from concussion injuries. Children and adults both benefit from wearing Sports Guards. And it’s not just football or hockey players that wear them. Any physical activity where there is a risk to a hard contact should include a sports guard.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Beautiful Smiles in Quakertown, PA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.
Orthodontics for Every Age
Children: The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check by age 7. An early visit lets us spot crowding, crossbites, overbites, underbites and jaw growth concerns. Not every child needs braces right away, but early care can guide jaw growth and may shorten treatment later.
Teens: The teen years are the most common time for braces. We offer metal braces, clear or tooth-colored braces and clear aligners, with treatment plans that fit around school, sports and busy schedules.
Adults: It is never too late to straighten your teeth. We help adults correct gaps, crowding, bite discomfort and teeth that shifted after earlier braces, often with discreet clear aligners.
