Traditional Braces
Damon Braces (self-ligating)
Self-ligating braces, such as Damon and Pitts, are designed to put minimal forces on the teeth, allowing them to move at a biologically-healthy rate. We can also create more space to avoid permanent tooth extractions, thereby providing a better bite and minimizing future airway problems. In addition, with self-ligating braces we can really refine your smile, giving you that full smile that you've always wanted.
We place self-ligating braces higher on the tooth than traditional braces. The reason is so we can create an esthetic smile-arc and keep the teeth upright while we expand the arch shape. Because they are closer to the gums than traditional braces, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Invisalign and Spark aligners (clear aligners)
Many patients today wish for three things when it comes to aligning their teeth: 1) immediate/ very short treatment times, 2) esthetic treatment, and 3) low or no cost. We can provide excellent esthetics while moving your teeth with Invisalign, where it’s almost not even noticeable! But there’s no magic bullet when it comes to treatment time, we are limited to how fast your teeth will move. There are limitations to using Invisalign but there are also many options as well. In your complimentary consultation we can discuss all of this with you.
Hybrid treatments
Sometimes Invisalign is not a good option for patients at the beginning of treatment, but after a short time in braces (approximately 3 months) we can move into Invisalign for the remainder of treatment. Ask about this option today!
Sometimes the upper teeth are less crowded than the bottom teeth, and doing Invisalign on the top with braces on the bottom can meet your esthetic and social needs. See if this is a good option for you!
Bite Correction
Options for this include non-surgical adult expansion.
Occasionally the only way to get an ideal bite is by combining orthodontic treatment with surgical correction. If this is the case for you, we will walk you through the whole process to help you achieve what you have always wanted.
Teeth Whitening
Whitening is the part patients almost always forget to plan for, and then wish they had. We can work it into your treatment at any point along the way, or save it for the very end when your new smile is ready for its close-up. Either way, it makes a difference you will actually notice in photos and in the mirror every morning.
This one is all about what you want. Come in and tell us what your ideal smile looks like. The more specific you are, the better we can build whitening into your overall plan so everything comes together the way you pictured it.
Retainers
Retainers are a lifeline for maintaining a healthy smile and bite. If you lose or damage your retainers, it can be a real downer because the teeth can start moving in as little as a few days. We offer both removable and bonded retainer options. See which is right for you!
Because we know that life gets in the way and pets love expensive chew toys, we offer a retainer replacement program that is only the cost of two sets of retainers, which will allow you to replace your retainers every 3 months for 10 years! Ask about our 10-year retainer replacement plan to see if this will work for you.
Airway
In the past 15-20 years, an enormous amount has been learned about the importance of a proper airway and its connection to systemic health and longevity. More and more evidence is published, seemingly monthly, about the adverse systemic effects of having an obstructed airway. Dr. Rob has spent a lot of time and energy learning all he can about how to help patients struggling with airway problems, all so he can help our community be healthy and happy.
At Patterson Orthodontics, overall health is our priority, including airway health. We have developed an airway treatment system over several years, which has led to our ability to confidently treat airway issues in patients both young and “seasoned.”
Airway concerns require a separate consultation that goes more in-depth to that concern as well as how we can approach treatment. If your concerns primarily involve airway, please mention this to us while scheduling so we can set aside the appropriate amount of time for you.
Oral Development
Years ago “oral development” in orthodontics meant extracting multiple baby teeth to get permanent teeth to come in, then extract permanent teeth to fit everything in. This was at the detriment of the patient’s facial esthetics, the necessary room for the tongue to function properly, and without regard to airway needs. There are so many changes in our environment that a different approach must be taken.
Today’s approach to oral development involves guidance of jaw growth, proper oral tongue posture and nasal breathing, lip and tongue releases, promotion of healthy sleep, monitoring of development, and myofunctional therapy.
If you have concerns about how your child is sleeping, behaving, breathing, or if the teeth or jaws just don’t look right, schedule an appointment right away! We can guide you on a journey that leads to a lifetime of health.
As an orthodontist, I have the ability to profoundly change someone’s appearance and, as a result, how they feel about themselves. I can also alter the course of systemic health by focusing on a patent airway. As I work with each patient to help them achieve their dreams of a airway health and dazzling smile, I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction.”
