Our Orthodontic Treatments And Services

Treatment Phases

Starting treatment when your child is around 7 to 10 years old can help catch and correct issues like crowding, spacing, or bite problems before they become more stubborn in adolescence.

Teens are often the prime candidates for orthodontic treatment because their permanent teeth are mostly in place, making adjustments more predictable.

Over 25% of our patients are adults, and they agree that it’s never too late to improve their greatest asset — their smile. Contact us about adult orthodontics today.

Orthognathic surgery (also known as corrective jaw surgery) treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones (size, shape, and location).

These abnormalities can often cause difficulty with chewing, talking, sleeping and other routine activities. Orthognathic surgery can correct these problems and improve the overall appearance of the facial profile.

Orthognathic surgery may be unnecessary if orthognathic treatment can correct the problem during early growth of the jaws.

If your bite requires orthognathic surgery, Dr. Cusack is able to demonstrate the overall aesthetic and functional benefits of orthognathic surgery using the latest in digital imaging technology.

Comprehensive treatment is commonly known as full braces or complete braces. This phase of treatment concerns all of the permanent teeth and establishes the proper final occlusion. Orthodontic retention is the only phase remaining after this phase.

Retention

Once the active orthodontic appliances are removed, the patient will receive retainers to stabilize the dental correction.

Because the bone and soft tissues surrounding the teeth are stabilizing for several months after braces are removed, it is imperative that the retainers are worn as instructed.

Failure to wear the retainers may result in undesirable movement of the teeth, which could necessitate re-treatment.

Our goal is to help your smile stay beautiful and healthy for a lifetime. Your cooperation is essential in order to achieve this goal.
