Interceptive Care

Consider planning your child’s first orthodontic visit around age 7. At this stage, children have enough permanent teeth for Dr. Bradley to diagnose and address any orthodontic concerns early.

Interceptive care (also called Phase 1 Treatment) is advised for crowded teeth or irregular upper or lower jaw development. This can simplify future dental care and help you reach your smile goals in ways that may not be possible later in life.

Braces

When you and your teeth are ready, Dr. Bradley will offer treatment plans based on exam findings and your smile goals. Appliances (the word for orthodontic gear) might include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, attachments, clear aligners, or a combination of appliances. Dr. Bradley will review the benefits and limitations of each plan to help you decide which option is best for you.

Aligners

Our removable aligners are made in house. Using clear medical-grade plastic trays, aligners look nearly invisible as they move your teeth. Your care team will monitor your progress and let you know when it is time to move to the next tray size.

The pros of in-house aligners: You have direct contact with the people making your trays–us! We can check, fix, or repair aligners in a timely manner, then deliver them to you faster than standard mail!

Retention

Protect your beautiful smile for life! Teeth naturally shift in anyone at any time, even if your bite is well aligned or your teeth are straight. To minimize changes, wear your retainers as prescribed at your final appointment. Following your retention instructions can prevent the need for retreatment.
