House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics provides comprehensive orthodontic treatment designed specifically for growing smiles. Our orthodontic specialists use the latest techniques and materials to address all aspects of your child’s orthodontic needs in one coordinated treatment plan. We’re committed to creating beautiful, healthy smiles while making the process comfortable and positive for both children and parents.
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment is a complete approach to correcting all orthodontic issues at once, rather than addressing problems piecemeal. This method involves moving all teeth into their ideal positions while ensuring proper bite function and jaw alignment.
This treatment approach is typically recommended for children and teens who have most or all of their permanent teeth. A bad bite called a “malocclusion” happens when teeth meet improperly or don’t meet at all. Comprehensive treatment addresses these complex bite relationships along with tooth alignment. Unlike early treatment, which focuses on specific developmental issues, comprehensive treatment provides a complete smile transformation. This approach ensures all teeth work together harmoniously for optimal function and appearance.
The comprehensive approach allows orthodontists to consider the entire mouth when planning treatment. This holistic view ensures the final result provides not just straight teeth, but also proper bite function, facial balance, and long-term stability of the results.
Addresses all orthodontic issues in one coordinated treatment plan for optimal results.
Ensures proper alignment of upper and lower teeth for better chewing and speaking.
Comprehensive planning helps ensure results remain stable over time.
We offer various comprehensive treatment options to meet your child’s specific needs and preferences. Our goal is to find the most effective and comfortable solution while considering your child’s lifestyle and treatment goals.
Traditional metal braces remain the most versatile option for comprehensive treatment. These proven appliances can address virtually any orthodontic problem, from simple crowding to complex bite issues. Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before, making treatment more pleasant for children and teens. Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible alternative for comprehensive treatment of mild to moderate orthodontic problems. These removable trays provide flexibility for eating and oral hygiene while gradually moving teeth into their proper positions. Clear aligners work well for responsible teens who can commit to wearing them as directed.
Ceramic braces combine the effectiveness of traditional braces with improved aesthetics. The tooth-colored brackets blend with natural teeth for a more subtle appearance while providing the same reliable results as metal braces. This option appeals to image-conscious teens who want effective treatment with improved aesthetics.
We conduct a thorough evaluation including X-rays and digital imaging to assess your child’s orthodontic needs.
A detailed plan is created addressing all aspects of your child’s orthodontic issues.
Regular appointments monitor progress and make adjustments to ensure optimal results.
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment involves several phases designed to achieve the best possible results for your child’s smile. We take time to explain each step and keep you informed throughout the process.
Treatment typically begins with a comprehensive consultation where we examine your child’s teeth, jaw, and bite relationships. We’ll take detailed X-rays and impressions to create a precise treatment plan. This planning phase is crucial for achieving optimal results and helps us predict the final outcome. Active treatment involves regular appointments for adjustments and monitoring. These visits are typically scheduled every 4-8 weeks and allow us to track progress and make any necessary modifications to the treatment plan. Most children adapt quickly to their appliances and experience minimal discomfort.
Throughout treatment, we provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure your child maintains excellent oral hygiene and follows care instructions. Our team is always available to answer questions and address any concerns that arise during treatment.
Dr. Harmon
Orthodontic specialist with advanced training in comprehensive treatment planning and execution.
Our skilled team brings years of experience in comprehensive orthodontic treatment for children and teens. We understand the unique challenges of treating growing patients and provide compassionate care in a comfortable environment.
While House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics specializes in children’s dental care, Dr. Harmon, our board-certified orthodontist, also provides comprehensive orthodontic treatment for adults. Many adults seek orthodontic care to improve their smile, correct bite issues, or address problems that weren’t treated in childhood.
Adult orthodontic treatment follows the same comprehensive approach we use for children and teens, but with considerations for the unique needs of adult patients. Adults benefit from the same advanced treatment options, including traditional braces, clear aligners, and ceramic braces, allowing them to choose the option that best fits their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
Adult patients often have different motivations and considerations than younger patients. Many adults seek treatment to improve their professional appearance, boost confidence, or address functional problems that have developed over time. Others may have had previous orthodontic treatment that has shifted over the years.
Comprehensive treatment for adults addresses all orthodontic issues simultaneously, just as it does for children. This approach ensures optimal results and long-term stability. Dr. Harmon works closely with adult patients to create treatment plans that accommodate their busy schedules and professional needs.
Adult orthodontic treatment may take slightly longer than treatment for children and teens because adult bones are fully developed. However, modern treatment options and Dr. Harmon’s experience ensure efficient and effective results. We understand that adults have unique concerns about appearance during treatment, which is why we offer discrete options like clear aligners and ceramic braces.
Adults also benefit from being highly motivated patients who follow treatment instructions carefully, often leading to excellent outcomes. Dr. Harmon provides personalized care that considers each adult patient’s specific goals, lifestyle, and oral health needs.
