According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This allows us to identify any potential problems and determine the best course of action to address them.
Early treatment is essential to prevent future dental problems and ensure optimal oral health. By starting orthodontic treatment at a young age, we can address potential issues before they become more serious and difficult to correct.
Space maintainers are orthodontic devices that are used to keep a space open in your child's mouth. They are typically used when a baby tooth is lost early and the permanent tooth has not yet erupted.
By maintaining the space where the baby tooth was, space maintainers can help prevent future dental problems and ensure that the permanent teeth can properly erupt into the mouth.
At Monarch Orthodontics, we offer a range of space maintainer options tailored to meet our young patients' unique needs.
Growth modifying appliances are used to correct a range of bite problems, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites – particularly in growing children. Unlike traditional braces or aligners, functional appliances work by repositioning the jaw and encouraging proper growth and development of the facial bones.
These appliances are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic treatments, such as braces or Invisalign, to achieve optimal results. These can also be used to correct bite problems that may be causing speech or breathing issues, as well as jaw pain or discomfort.
We understand that teens today lead busy lives, and we're here to make orthodontic treatment as convenient and stress-free as possible. By addressing orthodontic issues during adolescence, we can help to minimize the impact on your teen's already busy schedule, allowing them to focus on the things that matter most.
From traditional metal braces to clear aligners, we can help your teen achieve their perfect smile without compromising their lifestyle. Our team is dedicated to providing a supportive and positive environment that allows teens to feel comfortable and confident throughout their orthodontic journey.
More and more adults are turning to orthodontic treatment to achieve the smile they've always wanted. Adult orthodontic treatment can help to correct misaligned teeth, problems with occlusion, and other dental issues that may have developed over the years. Parents of our younger patients often seek treatment after seeing the beautiful results in their children’s smiles.
At Monarch Orthodontics, we understand the unique needs of our adult patients. Our range of treatment options, including discreet clear aligners, ensure that adult patients can achieve their desired smile without compromising their lifestyle.
Braces are a time-tested and effective way to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. At Monarch Orthodontics, we are proud to offer our patients a variety of advanced options including ‘self-ligating’ braces. This style of braces features a special sliding door or ‘clip’ mechanism to secure the wire in place, which results in less friction and faster overall tooth movement! Our braces are offered in both metal and ceramic.
Metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires to shift teeth into their proper positions gently and are a popular and effective option for patients of all ages. It can also be a fun way to express your personality and add a pop of color to your smile.
Ceramic braces offer a discreet and effective way to straighten your teeth. With clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural teeth, you can achieve a beautiful, healthy smile with subtle elegance.
Clear aligners are a popular and effective orthodontic treatment option for adults who want to improve the appearance of their smile without the hassle of traditional braces. Unlike metal braces, it uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their proper positions.
At Monarch Orthodontics, we are proud to offer Invisalign and other clear aligner approaches for adults who want a discreet and effective way to straighten their teeth. We are dedicated to providing personalized care that helps you achieve your perfect smile in a way that fits your lifestyle.
Invisalign Teen works similarly to Invisalign for adults, using a series of clear, removable aligners to shift teeth into their proper positions gradually. In addition, it has an added feature: a compliance dot that fades over time as the aligners are worn. This helps ensure that teenagers wear their aligners as directed and allows parents to monitor their progress.
At Monarch Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign Teen treatment that includes this added feature, along with personalized care that helps your teen achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Retainers are essential to maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile after orthodontic treatment. They are custom-made appliances designed to hold teeth in new positions after braces or Invisalign treatment.
At Monarch Orthodontics, we offer a range of retainer options, including removable and fixed retainers, to meet your unique needs. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care that helps you maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment and enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile for years to come.
We will work with you to develop a retainer plan that fits your lifestyle and ensures long-lasting results.
