Braces

Remember those braces of years past that were big and bulky and made you feel like you had a mouthful of metal? Luckily, those have been done away with for quite some time. Though conventional metal braces are still the most frequently used type of braces today, they are more comfortable, lighter and even work quicker. With the many advances in technology today, a number of options for braces are now available. In our office in Aurora, one of our top choices is Self-Ligating Braces. Unlike metal braces, no bands, ties or elastics are used, allowing freer movement of the teeth. These braces are much less noticeable and treatment time is reduced.  Read More...


Invisalign

Another popular option today is the Invisalign method of treatment. This treatment involves the creation of a series of clear, removable aligners which are custom-made for you. Because they are virtually invisible, they have become quite popular with teens and adults, even celebrities. The aligners place less pressure on teeth than standard braces, so are more comfortable. They are also removable, meaning that eating and personal oral hygiene routines are not a problem. Come in today and speak with our certified specialists about Invisalign. Read More...

TAD’s

At times, a TAD, or temporary anchorage device, is needed for a more accurate and precise correction of teeth. It is a titanium alloy screw or pin that is temporarily put into the mouth. As its name indicates, it is similar to an “anchor” that secures a boat. The device is small and smooth and normally unable to be seen. Read More...


Orthodontics Surgical Treatment

Our expert orthodontists occasionally discover a problem that requires more than orthodontic treatment. When this occurs, orthodontics surgical treatment may be needed. Common issues that would fall into this category include severe tooth misalignment or irregularities of the jaw bone. In these cases, further examination and consultation will be necessary to determine the exact treatment required. Read More...
