Orthodontics
Orthodontics at Summit Family Orthodontics focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws for improved function and aesthetics. Our treatments include traditional metal braces, clear aligners, and early intervention therapies. Patients benefit from customized care using advanced technology like digital imaging and 3D-printed appliances, ensuring precise, comfortable results tailored to individual needs.
Phase 1 Treatment
Phase 1 treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 6-10 during mixed dentition. We use appliances like palatal expanders and partial braces to guide jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth. This early intervention prevents severe problems, reduces future treatment complexity, and promotes proper bite development for long-term oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces using custom-made clear aligners. Patients enjoy the flexibility to eat and clean their teeth normally while achieving gradual tooth movement. Our team uses 3D imaging to design precise treatment plans, ensuring effective results for teens and adults seeking a subtle orthodontic solution.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces provide reliable, durable correction for complex orthodontic cases. Using high-quality brackets and wires, we address severe crowding, spacing, and bite issues with proven effectiveness. Regular adjustments and digital monitoring ensure optimal tooth movement, delivering lasting results for patients of all ages seeking robust orthodontic treatment.
Emergency Orthodontics
Emergency orthodontic care addresses urgent issues like broken brackets, loose wires, or discomfort during treatment. Our team provides prompt solutions to alleviate pain and maintain treatment progress. Patients receive immediate guidance and same-day appointments when needed, ensuring continuity of care and minimizing disruptions to their orthodontic journey.
