Frequently Asked Questions

Clear aligners, such as Spark, are a popular choice for adults seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment option. They can effectively straighten teeth and correct bite issues in many cases. However, the suitability of clear aligners depends on the specific orthodontic problems being addressed. Orthodontists will evaluate each case individually to determine if clear aligners are the best option or if traditional braces might be more effective

Yes! This is often referred to as Phase 1 treatment. We sometimes place braces on just a few permanent teeth while baby teeth are still present to correct a specific issue, like a crossbite or severe crowding, that could cause bigger problems later. Once those baby teeth fall out, we typically take a “rest” period before starting Phase 2 when all permanent teeth are in.

Your child may need a palatal expander to correct various orthodontic issues, including:

  1. Crossbite correction
  2. Alleviating dental crowding
  3. Improving breathing and airway function
  4. Widening a narrow upper jaw
  5. Creating space for erupting permanent teeth
  6. Potentially avoiding the need for tooth extractions

Palatal expanders are most effective when used during childhood, before the upper jaw bones fuse completely. Palatal expanders play a crucial role in early orthodontic intervention, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns in growing children. By gradually widening the upper jaw, these devices create the necessary space for proper tooth alignment and bite correction. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the complexity and duration of future orthodontic treatments, potentially saving time and costs in the long run. Additionally, palatal expansion can have positive effects on a child’s overall facial development, breathing patterns, and even speech clarity. While the prospect of using an orthodontic appliance may seem daunting, the long-term benefits of palatal expanders often outweigh any temporary discomfort, setting the foundation for a healthy, well-aligned smile that will last a lifetime

LightForce Brackets are the world’s first fully customized 3D-printed ceramic braces.They are designed to fit the unique contours of each patient’s teeth, providing a personalized orthodontic solution that enhances comfort, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. By using advanced digital planning and 3D printing technology, LightForce Brackets offer a more precise and effective treatment compared to traditional metal braces

Absolutely! One of the most exciting parts for kids and teens getting braces is the ability to personalize their smile. We offer a wide variety of colored bands that can be swapped out at every adjustment appointment, typically every 4 to 8 weeks. Whether they want to represent their school colors, match a holiday theme, or just pick their favorite shades, Dr. Griffin and our team love helping patients express their personality through their orthodontic journey.
