A straight, healthy smile does more than boost your confidence—it plays an important role in your overall oral health. At Lans Family Dentistry, we are proud to offer comprehensive orthodontic solutions for patients of all ages. Whether you are interested in traditional braces, clear aligners, or specialized orthodontic treatments, our team is here to help you achieve the beautiful, properly aligned smile you deserve.
Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters
Orthodontic treatment is about more than just aesthetics. Straight teeth are easier to keep clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Properly aligned teeth also create a balanced bite, helping to prevent jaw problems, excessive tooth wear, and even speech difficulties.
We personalize each orthodontic plan to meet your individual needs, offering effective, comfortable solutions for a wide range of concerns—from mild crowding to more complex bite issues.
Our Orthodontic Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces are a time-tested and highly effective option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic problems. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than in the past. They use brackets and arch wires to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Metal braces are a reliable choice for patients of all ages, especially those needing more complex corrections.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Clear braces work just like traditional metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear ceramic brackets that blend in with your natural teeth. This makes them a more discreet option for teens and adults who want effective treatment without the look of metal braces. Ceramic braces are strong, durable, and deliver excellent results while maintaining a more subtle appearance.
Angel Aligner Therapy
For patients who want a virtually invisible way to straighten their teeth, we offer Angel Aligner therapy. Angel Aligners use a series of clear, custom-fit trays to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. They are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss. Angel Aligner therapy is a popular choice for patients seeking a discreet, flexible orthodontic solution without traditional brackets or wires.
Orthodontic Treatment for All Ages
- Orthodontics is not just for teenagers. Children, teens, and adults can all benefit from properly aligned teeth and a healthy bite:
- Early Intervention: We monitor children’s dental development and may recommend early orthodontic treatment if necessary to guide jaw growth and prevent future problems.
- Teen Orthodontics: Traditional braces, clear braces, and clear aligner therapy are all available for teens who want to achieve a beautiful, functional smile.
- Adult Orthodontics: It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Many adults choose orthodontic treatment to enhance their appearance, correct shifting teeth, or address bite problems they have had for years.
No matter your age, our team will create a customized treatment plan that works for your lifestyle, budget, and goals.
