Orthodontics and Invisalign Invisible Braces

Orthodontics is the science of repositioning teeth. Dr. Rogers straightens teeth with braces, retainers, spacers, and Invisalign invisible braces. Many people associate braces with children, but we offer modern alternatives for adults who want to benefit from orthodontics as well.

While many people straighten teeth for cosmetic reasons, misaligned teeth can lead to bruxism (teeth grinding) or TMJ disorder, which causes chronic headaches, dizziness, earaches, and neck pain. With orthodontics, Dr. Rogers can correct an unbalanced bite and prevent serious dental problems from arising. Straight teeth are also less prone to cavities, decay, and gum disease.

Dr. Rogers recommends that children have an orthodontic assessment around the age of seven. He will examine your child's bite, diagnose problems, and encourage positive oral habits. Oftentimes, Dr. Rogers can determine if a child will need future orthodontic treatment. He may recommend braces, spacers, or a retainer to prevent your child's teeth from shifting. Sometimes children need phased orthodontic treatment or interceptive orthodontic therapy. We'll explain the diagnosis and purpose of the treatment Dr. Rogers recommends so that you can make a wise and informed decision.

Modern orthodontic technology makes braces more comfortable and less conspicuous than ever. For adults, we offer clear bracket braces and a removable alternative- Invisalign invisible braces.

Invisalign is a great option for people who want to maintain their professional lifestyle while receiving orthodontic treatment. Invisalign Invisible braces close gaps, straighten crowded teeth, and correct bite problems. With Invisalign smile preview software, Dr. Rogers can show you what your new smile will look like before you begin treatment.
