Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Space Maintainers
  Primary teeth play a key role in maintaining the space for adult teeth in your child’s mouth. If your child looses their teeth early, our orthodontists may recommend the use of a space maintainer. These devices, like the lingual holding arch for upper or lower jaws during Phase I treatment, serve as placeholders. When a primary tooth is prematurely lost, damaged or extracted, a space maintainer becomes essential to preserve the necessary gap for the adult tooth to erupt without any issues.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Jaw Surgery
  This is a case we were excited for as surgical cases are among the most dramatic transformations! This patient came to us after seeing another provider who advised that Invisalign was not an option when paired with jaw surgery. The patient wanted to correct his underbite (his bottom teeth extend beyond his upper teeth) and crossbite. While the patient was presented with a non-surgical option, ultimately the best outcome would be through surgery so the patient decided to move forward. We are glad he gave us the opportunity to show him what could be done! Dr. Zach and Dr. Alex Mellion started treating this patient with Invisalign to level and align and coordinate his arches for surgery.

• Braces
  When it comes to straightening teeth, there is one option which can work for nearly everyone: traditional metal braces. While braces may evoke memories of adolescence and may seem less appealing than many other, newer treatment options, this tried-and-true orthodontic treatment remains an excellent choice for patients with misaligned teeth. Here are a few reasons why braces continue to be a great choice for orthodontic treatment.
