Correcting Tooth Misalignment Issues in Patients of All Ages

The alignment of teeth affects the way your smile looks, how your teeth function, and the longevity of your oral health. Teeth that are misaligned are more likely to wear down prematurely, develop gum disease, or affect your self-esteem. Dr. Neff offers treatment through retainer therapy, traditional stainless steel orthodontics, and Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign patients enjoy the benefits of clear tray-like braces that other people cannot see when they are being worn. Orthodontic treatment allows patients to improve their own smiles or the smiles of their children.

Children Orthodontics

Malocclusion or bite discrepancies can be recognized as early as 3 years of age. Early intervention in your child’s oral development can improve eruption patterns as well as decrease orthodontic complications later on. One of the ways we do this is by growth modification through palatal expansion. Palatal expanders increase the area that the teeth have to erupt into place, reducing the risk of impaction or severe misalignment. If a tooth is lost prematurely, we can also place a space maintainer to preserve the space for the permanent tooth to erupt into, preventing the nearby teeth from collapsing into the open area. Occlusal guides can also help with erupting teeth, guiding them into alignment. In short, the earlier we can provide orthodontic intervention, the simpler your child’s needs will be later on.
