Braces at Reichheld Ting Orthodontics

Types of Braces We Offer

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces are a reliable and time-tested option for straightening teeth. Using durable stainless steel brackets and wires, these braces effectively treat even the most complex orthodontic cases.

Ceramic Clear Braces

For those seeking a more discreet alternative, clear ceramic braces offer the same effectiveness as metal braces but with clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend with your smile.

Surgical Orthodontics

In cases where jaw alignment issues require surgical intervention, our orthodontists collaborate with oral surgeons to provide comprehensive treatment plans that combine braces with corrective jaw surgery.

Who Can Benefit from Braces?

Braces are suitable for patients of all ages, from children needing early intervention to adults looking to enhance their smiles. Our customized treatment plans address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
• Jaw alignment issues
• Teeth shifting due to missing teeth or previous orthodontic treatment

Early orthodontic care can prevent more severe dental issues later in life. If you’re considering braces for yourself or your child, we offer personalized treatment plans to ensure optimal results.

What to Expect During Treatment

Initial Consultation & Digital Scans

We begin with a thorough evaluation using state-of-the-art digital scanning technology. This allows us to create a precise, customized treatment plan without the need for traditional impressions.

Placement of Braces

Once your treatment plan is finalized, braces are carefully placed on your teeth. Our orthodontists will guide you through the process and provide instructions on how to care for your new braces.

Regular Adjustments

Braces work by gradually shifting your teeth into alignment. You’ll visit our office every few weeks for adjustments to ensure steady progress.

Completion & Retention

After achieving your ideal smile, braces are removed, and a custom retainer is provided to maintain your results for years to come.

Our team is here to support you at every stage of your orthodontic journey.
