Early Orthodontic Care
We believe in providing early orthodontic care for children, starting from age 7. This allows us to monitor and guide the growth and development of the teeth and jaws, correcting issues before they become more severe and complex. Our early interceptive treatment can help create a healthier, more balanced bite, reduce treatment time, and improve facial aesthetics.
Teen Orthodontics
Adolescence is a great time for orthodontic treatment. With a variety of options available, teens can choose the treatment that best fits their lifestyle and personal preferences. From traditional metal braces to clear aligners, we help teens achieve beautiful, confident smiles that will last a lifetime.
Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment isn't just for kids and teens. More adults than ever are seeking orthodontic care to improve their oral health, straighten their teeth, and boost their self-confidence. At Backus Smiles, we offer a range of discreet and comfortable treatment options for adults, including clear braces, lingual braces (behind the teeth), and clear aligners.
Metal & Clear Braces
Traditional metal braces continue to be a popular choice for many patients due to their durability and versatility. For those looking for a more aesthetic option, clear braces utilize clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with the teeth.
Damon System Braces
Damon System Braces use self-ligating brackets, which eliminate the need for elastic ties. This innovative technology allows for more efficient and comfortable treatment with fewer appointments and a reduced treatment time.
INBRACE Lingual Braces
INBRACE Lingual Braces are placed on the backside of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. This esthetically pleasing option is perfect for those who want their orthodontic treatment to remain discreet.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners, offer a virtually invisible, removable way to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners allow for a more comfortable and convenient treatment experience, with fewer restrictions on food and oral hygiene.
Retainers and Other Appliances
Following orthodontic treatment, retainers and other appliances help maintain the results achieved. These custom-made devices are essential for preserving the alignment and health of your teeth and bite.
TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. At Backus Smiles, we offer non-surgical TMJ treatment options to help alleviate symptoms and restore optimal jaw function.
Cleft Lip and Palate and Dentofacial Deformity Treatment
Our team has extensive experience in the treatment of cleft lip and palate and dentofacial deformities. We work closely with a multidisciplinary team of specialists to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
State-of-the-Art Technology
At Backus Smiles, we use the latest technology to ensure your safety, comfort, and results. Our ultra-low-dose X-rays and 3D imaging provide the detailed information we need to create your personalized treatment plan.
