Treatment Options for UNLIMITED Smiles!

Are you looking for orthodontic treatments that are cost-effective and more convenient?

Look no further than the latest technology offered by orthodontists. While traditional treatments like braces and retainers can still be effective, new options like AcceleDent and Carriere offer greater comfort and ease of use.

AcceleDent is a vibrating device that can help straighten teeth in just 20 minutes of daily treatment. This option is both cost-effective and convenient for patients who prefer not to wear braces. Similarly, Carriere is a virtually invisible small bracket designed to fix bite issues from within the mouth.

Another innovative option is Clarity Brackets, which are translucent and more comfortable than traditional brackets, while still being just as effective. Invisalign is another popular choice, using a clear, translucent material to straighten teeth and fix bite patterns.

Don't let the cost or discomfort of traditional orthodontic treatments keep you from achieving the smile you deserve. Contact our office today to learn more about these advanced options and schedule an appointment. For more information about braces from Ortho Unlimited, click HERE.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

April 18, 2023

Invisalign® is a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment that eliminates the use of traditional metal brackets and wires. This process is comfortable and convenient, allowing patients to eat, drink, brush, and floss as they normally would. Treatment is effective and proven in clinical research and orthodontic practices nationwide. A certified dentist is necessary to undertake the procedure, and patients will wear a set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Total treatment time averages 11 months with the average number of aligners worn during treatment between 18 and 30. The Invisalign System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with the 100-year-old science of orthodontics.

Are You Flossing Correctly?

April 18, 2023

Dental flossing is crucial for cleaning between teeth, where toothbrushes cannot reach. Parents are advised to floss their children's teeth until they are around 10 years old, and able to floss by themselves. To make flossing easier, there are several innovative tools such as flossing wands available. When flossing, use an adequate amount of floss, gently guide it between the teeth, see-saw through the contact, and slide it along the sides of both teeth. Floss in a predictable order, such as starting from the upper right, going around the upper arch, and then moving to the bottom, going in order on that arch as well. Regular flossing can help prevent dental complications.

What is Orthodontics?

April 18, 2023

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on correcting improper bites and tooth irregularity. Orthodontists can help patients of any age improve tooth and jaw problems and can also assist those who desire cosmetic improvements. Orthodontics has a rich history, dating back to as early as 1000 B.C. Today, orthodontists use various methods to correct dental problems such as dental braces, headgear, expansion appliances, and retainers. Orthodontic treatments can last from six months to several years, depending on the patient's specific problems. Straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing but also easier to clean and help in biting, chewing, and speaking effectively.

How Early Should You Consider Orthodontics Services For Children?

April 18, 2023

It's recommended for children to have their first orthodontic consultation by the age of 7, but adults and seniors can also undergo orthodontic treatments. Interceptive orthodontics is a technique that addresses certain orthodontic problems between the ages of 7-11 and can result in fewer extracted teeth and better patient compliance. Some techniques used in this interceptive phase include arch expansion and orthopedic growth appliances to enhance jaw growth. This acts as Phase 1 of a two-step orthodontic treatment, making Phase 2 simpler, shorter, and less extensive.

When Should I Go to an Orthodontist vs a Dentist?

April 18, 2023

If you're experiencing discomfort with your teeth, it's best to go to a dentist for a diagnosis. However, if the issue is related to misalignment or temporomandibular disorder, you should visit an orthodontist. Orthodontists can provide customized solutions to issues such as overcrowding, overbites, and underbites that do not result in too much discomfort. They can also provide consultation to identify any treatment options and causes of TMJ. Patients can visit either a dentist or orthodontist for dental emergencies.
