Clear Aligners
Clear aligner therapy uses custom, removable trays to straighten teeth without metal brackets. Ideal for patients seeking discreet treatment, this method allows for easy eating and cleaning while maintaining comfort. Howell Orthodontics offers both national brand aligners and custom-fabricated options for tailored results.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw misalignments through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment improves chewing, speech, and breathing while enhancing facial symmetry. Patients typically wear braces before and after surgery to ensure optimal tooth positioning.
Teeth Whitening
Professional at-home whitening kits use custom trays and carbamide peroxide gel to safely lighten teeth. This treatment addresses stains and discoloration, often following braces removal. Results appear within two weeks, with options for touch-ups available.
TMJ-TMD Treatment
TMJ/TMD treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders causing pain and restricted movement. Customized plans may include orthodontic adjustments, splints, or lifestyle modifications to alleviate headaches and improve jaw function.
Clarity Ceramic Brackets
Clarity ceramic braces offer an aesthetic alternative to metal brackets using tooth-colored materials. These self-ligating braces reduce treatment time while maintaining discretion, making them ideal for teens and adults seeking less visible orthodontic care.
