Orthodontic Options at Iris Dental
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. Because the aligners are removable and nearly invisible, they are a popular option for teens and adults seeking a discreet orthodontic solution.
Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Monitoring dental development at an early age allows potential concerns to be identified before they become more complex. Early evaluation can help determine if future orthodontic treatment may be beneficial.
Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment
For patients with more significant alignment or bite concerns, comprehensive treatment plans can help create a healthier, more balanced smile over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
Every orthodontic journey begins with a consultation. During this visit, we will discuss your concerns, evaluate your smile, and determine the most appropriate treatment options.
Examination and Planning
We assess the position of your teeth, bite alignment, and overall oral health to create a personalized treatment plan.
Begin Treatment
Once your treatment plan is established, we'll provide your orthodontic appliances or aligners and explain how treatment will progress.
Monitor Progress
Regular visits allow us to monitor tooth movement, make adjustments when necessary, and ensure treatment stays on track
Enjoy Your New Smile
Once treatment is complete, you'll enjoy the benefits of a straighter, healthier smile. Retainers may be recommended to help maintain your results.
After completing orthodontic treatment, maintaining your results is important. Retainers help keep teeth in their new positions while your mouth adapts to the changes.
