Comprehensive Orthodontic Services
Our practice offers a variety of orthodontic treatments, designed to cater to different age groups, lifestyle needs, and dental conditions. Here’s an overview of the orthodontic services available at Hometown Dental Co.:
Traditional Braces
As a tried and true method, traditional braces are extremely effective for correcting complex tooth and jaw issues.
Using metal brackets and wires, this treatment method is ideal for patients needing significant adjustments to achieve a perfect alignment.
Clear Aligners
Similar to Invisalign, clear aligners provide an almost invisible way to straighten teeth.
They are custom-made for a comfortable fit and offer the flexibility of being removable for important social occasions.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a highly sought-after treatment among our patients, especially noted as the Invisalign Greencastle patients love. These clear aligners are virtually invisible, offering an aesthetic and comfortable alternative to metal braces.
Perfect for adults and teens, Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss, and they require fewer visits to the dentist compared to traditional braces.
Lingual Braces
For those seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment, lingual braces are an excellent choice. Attached to the back of the teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view, offering the effectiveness of traditional braces without the visible metal brackets.
Six Month Smiles
This is an excellent option for adults who are primarily concerned with the cosmetic appearance of their teeth.
As the name suggests, Six Month Smiles can significantly improve the alignment of the front teeth in about six months, using clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that are barely noticeable.
Damon Braces
Damon braces are self-ligating and use a slide mechanism instead of elastics to connect archwires.
These braces require fewer adjustments than traditional braces, making the treatment process smoother and faster, and they are known for providing comfortable tooth movement.
What to Expect During Treatment
During your initial visit, we’ll conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaws and discuss your dental history.
This may include taking X-rays or creating a digital scan of your teeth. Once we’ve established a detailed understanding of your orthodontic treatment needs, we’ll discuss the treatment options available to you and outline the steps, duration, and cost associated with each.
Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Hometown Dental Co. for regular adjustments or follow-ups to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
Our team will also provide you with tips on how to care for your braces or aligners and maintain good oral hygiene.
