Orthodontic Treatments Offered at Brown Family Orthodontics

Self-Ligating Braces: Advanced and Efficient

Brown Family Orthodontics specializes in self-ligating braces, a cutting-edge alternative to traditional braces. These braces use an innovative sliding mechanism to eliminate the need for elastic bands, reducing friction and increasing efficiency. Patients benefit from shorter treatment times, fewer adjustments, and greater comfort.

Invisalign® and Spark Clear Aligners

For patients seeking a discreet, convenient, and highly effective orthodontic solution, Brown Family Orthodontics offers Invisalign® and Spark Clear Aligners. These modern aligner systems are designed to correct dental alignment issues without brackets or wires, making them a popular choice for teens and adults.

Both Invisalign® and Spark Clear Aligners are nearly invisible, offering an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces. Additionally, they are removable, allowing patients to easily eat, drink, brush, and floss—something that's often challenging with fixed braces. This level of convenience has made clear aligners a go-to option for busy professionals, active teens, and anyone seeking a more flexible treatment plan.

Invisalign®: Tried and True

Invisalign® is one of the most recognized names in orthodontics, and it is known for its innovative approach to teeth straightening. Each set of custom-made aligners is created using advanced 3-D imaging technology, ensuring a precise fit tailored to the unique structure of your teeth and jaw.

Here's how Invisalign® works:

• Custom Design: Using detailed scans of your teeth, Invisalign® aligners are custom-manufactured to apply gentle, consistent pressure that gradually moves teeth into their desired position.
  
  
• Step-by-Step Adjustments: Aligners are typically changed every one to two weeks, with each new set bringing you closer to your final smile.
  
  
• Broad Range of Applications: Invisalign® is highly effective for correcting issues like overcrowding, gaps, underbites, overbites, and mild to moderate crookedness.

Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, making them a fantastic option for those who want a seamless look during treatment. Whether attending school, working, or heading out for a special occasion, Invisalign® fits perfectly into your lifestyle without paying attention to your orthodontic treatment.

Spark Clear Aligners: A Cutting-Edge Alternative

Spark Clear Aligners are an excellent choice for patients who want the benefits of clear aligners but with an even more discreet look. Using a proprietary material that is clearer than other aligner brands, Spark aligners are nearly undetectable, giving patients the confidence to smile throughout their treatment journey.

What sets Spark apart?

• Advanced Clarity: Spark aligners are crafted with TruGEN™, a material specifically engineered to be clearer and more stain-resistant than alternatives, maintaining their invisibility over time.
  
  
• Precision and Comfort: Spark aligners are designed to fit snugly against your teeth, offering unparalleled comfort while effectively straightening your smile.
  
  
• Tailored Solutions: Spark aligners are custom-made to address many orthodontic issues, including bite misalignments, spacing problems, and crooked teeth.
  
  

Spark aligners appeal to patients who want a truly "barely-there" appearance while still enjoying the flexibility of removable aligners.

The Power of 3-D Imaging in Orthodontics

Gone are the days of messy dental molds and outdated X-rays. At Brown Family Orthodontics, 3-D imaging has revolutionized orthodontic care by enhancing precision, comfort, and efficiency.

What Is 3-D Imaging?

3-D imaging uses advanced technology to create a highly detailed digital model of your teeth and jaw. This allows the orthodontic team to:

• Detect dental issues with pinpoint accuracy
• Create precise and effective treatment plans
• Enhance the overall patient experience with faster, more efficient results

Benefits of 3-D Imaging

• Highly Accurate Treatment Plans: Ensures every adjustment is precise and tailored to your needs.
• Lower Radiation Exposure: A safer option compared to traditional X-rays.
• Shorter Treatment Times: Allows for faster and more predictable outcomes.

With 3-D imaging, Brown Family Orthodontics delivers customized treatments that are effective and prioritize patient comfort and safety.

Self-Ligating Brackets: A Game Changer in Braces

Braces have come a long way over the years, and self-ligating brackets represent a significant advancement in orthodontics. These modern braces provide an efficient, comfortable, and effective treatment option for patients of all ages.

How Do Self-Ligating Braces Work?

Self-ligating braces feature a built-in sliding mechanism that secures the archwire without needing elastic bands. This allows for smoother and more efficient tooth movement while reducing friction and pressure.

Key Features:

• Sliding Mechanism: Lets the wire move freely for faster adjustments.
• No Tightening Appointments: Requires fewer in-office visits for manual adjustments.
• Faster Tooth Movement: Teeth shift into place more efficiently, shortening treatment time.

Benefits of Self-Ligating Braces

1. Fewer Orthodontic Visits: Patients spend less time in the chair for adjustments.
2. Shorter Treatment Times: Teeth move faster with reduced friction.
3. Greater Comfort: Without elastic bands, patients experience less pressure and discomfort.
4. Improved Oral Hygiene: The absence of elastics makes it easier to maintain clean teeth and gums.

At Brown Family Orthodontics, self-ligating braces are a cornerstone of treatment, ensuring patients enjoy a faster, more comfortable, and effective path to their dream smile.
