Having a healthy and beautiful smile is the ultimate goal for many people. Orthodontic treatment aims to straighten and correct teeth alignment for people of any age. Dr. Mingus’s clinic offers various orthodontic options that can fit the needs of patients at any stage of their lives.
Orthodontic Options for Children and Teens
It is recommended to start orthodontic treatment in children and teens as early as possible to ensure the best and most effective results. For mild misalignments, early interceptive orthodontics can help fix protruding front teeth and crossbite problems using braces or removable appliances that guide tooth growth. For more severe cases, metal braces and clear braces are the most effective options. Invisalign can also be a suitable choice for older teens and adolescents that want less noticeable treatment for their misalignments.
Orthodontic Treatment for Adults
Even though orthodontic treatment might seem like something that is exclusive to children and teens, it can also be an option for adults; for this age group, other orthodontic solutions are often recommended. Dr. Mingus offers orthodontics for adults with clear braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and lingual braces, which are braces placed on the backside of the teeth for an even less noticeable appearance.
Orthodontic Surgery
In some cases, especially for adults with misalignments that are more severe, or for people of any age with jaw misalignments, orthodontic surgery can be the most effective solution. Orthodontic surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, directly addresses the underlying cause of the misalignment, resulting in a more balanced jaw and a more manageable bite. Dr. Mingus’s clinic offers different types of orthodontic surgery including bone grafting and mandibular osteotomy.
Other Orthodontic Services
Besides orthodontic braces, aligners, and surgery, Dr. Mingus’s clinic offers other orthodontic services as well as adjunct treatments. This includes rubber bands and headgear; these adjunct treatments are particularly useful for those cases where more forceful movements are needed on the teeth. For those that want an even faster and more powerful treatment, Dr. Mingus offers AcceleDent, an FDA-approved device that uses micro-vibrations to speed up the alignment process. Finally, tooth extraction is also an option, especially for those extreme cases that require very significant repositioning of the teeth.
