Discover the Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment

At Foster Orthodontics, we understand that the journey to a perfect smile can begin at a young age. Early orthodontic treatment, often recommended for children between the ages of 7 and 10, can significantly enhance the effectiveness of future orthodontic care. By addressing potential issues early on, we can help guide the growth of your child's jaw and incoming teeth, preventing more complex treatments later.

Some key advantages of early orthodontic intervention include:

Improved Bite Alignment: Early treatment can correct bite issues, reducing the risk of future dental problems.
Space Management: We can create room for crowded teeth, ensuring a smoother transition as adult teeth come in.
Enhanced Self-Esteem: A confident smile can have a positive impact on your child's social interactions and overall self-image.
Less Invasive Treatment Options: Early intervention often leads to simpler and less invasive treatments down the line.
Monitoring Growth: Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your child's dental development and make timely adjustments as needed.

By choosing early orthodontic treatment at Foster Orthodontics, you're investing in your child's dental health and future confidence. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about how we can help your child achieve a beautiful, healthy smile!

Which Braces Are Best?

It is a common question, but there is no one-size-fits-all answer. After all, your smile is unique! The right type of braces for you will depend on your age, bite, budget, and other factors. To suit your needs, we offer several braces options, all utilizing the latest technological breakthroughs in orthodontics.

The braces we offer include:

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most widely used orthodontic treatment worldwide, and for good reason. They have been around for centuries and have continuously improved in design, comfort, and durability. They consist of metal brackets that adhere to the teeth and connect via archwire; elastic bands hold the wire onto the brackets. During routine appointments, our doctors will make adjustments to apply pressure to your teeth and gradually move them into the proper position.

One thing people love about metal braces is that they allow you to express yourself with colorful elastic ties. We offer a variety of colors so you can have fun while bettering your smile.

Ceramic (Clear) Braces

Ceramic braces operate similarly to metal braces but are less noticeable because they use clear or tooth-colored brackets. The wires may still be made of metal, but the overall appearance is much more discreet. We use high-quality ceramic brackets that resist staining and discoloration. Refreshingly, no special care is required because they function like metal braces.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are an especially popular option for adults. They consist of a series of clear plastic trays that fit precisely over your teeth and straighten them gradually. We frequently use the renowned Invisalign® brand for this kind of orthodontic care. The fully customized trays are removable, so you can take them out while eating and cleaning your teeth. Despite being removable and almost invisible, they move teeth as effectively as braces.

The Damon System

The Damon System is an excellent alternative to traditional braces. These self-ligating braces (meaning they work without elastic ties) have smaller brackets and apply less friction to the teeth, significantly increasing comfort and reducing treatment time. No elastic or metal ties are used, allowing for relatively simple cleaning and maintenance.

In-Ovation “C” Braces

In-Ovation® “C” braces are another self-ligating option that uses a lower-profile bracket for added comfort and aesthetics. Their unique clip mechanism allows for faster and more precise tooth movement, significantly reducing treatment time.

When Should You Get Braces?

The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) suggests that children should have an orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This does not necessarily mean children will need to get braces at seven. Instead, it is an opportunity for our orthodontists to evaluate the growth of your child’s face and teeth and determine if any potential issues may require treatment.

Of course, braces can benefit patients of any age. That is right. You are never too old to achieve a straight, healthy smile. In fact, the AAO states that one in every five orthodontic patients is over the age of 18.

The Benefits of Braces

Braces are a tried-and-true way to improve your teeth’ alignment, but the benefits do not end there.

Braces also offer the following:

Improved oral health - Straight teeth are simpler to clean and maintain, lessening risks of cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and other problems.
Better digestion - Properly aligned teeth can help you chew food more efficiently, which is beneficial for your digestive health.
Reduced risk of injury - Protruding or crowded teeth can increase the chances of injuries during physical activities or accidents. Braces can put teeth in safer positions.
Boosted self-confidence - A straight smile does wonders for self-esteem and can allow you to feel more like yourself.
Proper bite alignment - Braces can correct overbite, underbite, and crossbite, improving jaw function and reducing strain on the teeth.
Long-term results - Investing in braces provides a smile that can remain healthy and beautiful for a lifetime.
