Straighten Your Smile
Orthodontics is the dental specialty that corrects improper bites and displaced teeth. If left untreated, crooked teeth and improper jaw positioning can lead to tooth decay, periodontal disease, TMJ problems, and excessive tooth wear. It can also affect your self-esteem.
When you come into either our Hastings or Doniphan office, our doctors will recommend the treatment that best fits your needs and expectations. Orthodontic care will improve oral health, enhance your appearance, and strengthen teeth, giving you a healthy smile to last a lifetime.
Who Can Get Orthodontic Care?
Our experienced team offers comprehensive orthodontic services for children, teens, and adults. This begins with an evaluation of your whole mouth. If you’re a candidate for orthodontics, we’ll provide you with a treatment plan including a timeline and cost estimate.
Orthodontic treatment is recommended for patients with several types of dental complications, including:
- Overbite or underbite
- Crossbite or open bite
- Misplaced midline
- Spacing
- Crowding
Orthodontic Treatments at Hastings Family Dental
When it comes to orthodontic care at Hastings Family Dental, we offer metal braces. But many of our patients prefer to straighten their smile with clear aligners from Invisalign.
Whether you choose clear or metal braces, our doctors will shift your teeth to the perfect position so your smile will look just right.
Traditional Metal Braces
The most common treatment, metal braces, are a set of bonded brackets, archwires, and elastic bands that work over a period of time to shift your teeth. Braces are adjusted regularly to deliver your expected outcome. Once the teeth are properly aligned, a fixed or adjustable retainer is often used to keep them in place until they’ve completely settled.
Invisalign
If traditional braces don’t fit your lifestyle, we offer Invisalign as an effective alternative. These clear aligners are much less noticeable than metal wires. We use state-of-the-art digital imaging to customize your trays so they fit comfortably in your mouth. Invisalgin gradually fixes your smile. Best of all, you can remove them at any time, allowing you to eat whatever you want.
Adults Can Get Braces Too
Braces aren’t just for children — more and more adults are learning about the cosmetic benefits of braces. They’ll enhance your oral health as well. We offer braces that are smaller and a lot less noticeable than they were in the past. The elastic bands we use come in bright colors for kids or inconspicuous clear styles that are preferred by teens and adults.
