Orthodontics: At River Valley Dental we straighten teeth
to help an individual to effectively bite, chew and speak. Straight
teeth contribute to healthy teeth and gums. Properly aligned teeth
and jaws may alleviate or prevent physical health problems. Teeth
that work better also tend to look better. An attractive smile is
a pleasant “side effect” of orthodontic treatment.
An attractive smile is a wonderful asset. It contributes to self-esteem,
self-confidence and self-image—important qualities at every age.
A pleasing appearance is a vital component of self-confidence. A person's
self-esteem often improves as orthodontic treatment brings teeth, lips
and face into proportion. In this way, orthodontic treatment can benefit
social and career success, as well as improve a person’s general
attitude toward life.
Orthodontics for adolescence and adults: At River Valley
Dental we provide orthodontic treatment for children who are 7-10 years
of age for orthopedic reasons. This treatment develops the jaws and takes
advantage of the growth of both the maxilla and mandible. We call this
ortho phase I.
Braces and Invisalign are for adolescence and adults. This is called ortho
phase II. Invisalign is a modality of orthodontic treatment that is appealing
to individuals who are trying to conceal their efforts in straightening
their teeth. In addition Invisalign allows for better enunciation during
speech and ease of flossing and brushing because they are removable.
Invisalign "It's clear and it's convenient"
Invisalign is the best way to straighten your teeth without having to
live with the "metal mouth" look of traditional braces. That's
because Invisalign is a series of clear, removable, plastic aligners that
are custom-made for your teeth. It's easy to get started. First, Dr. Spraggins
will talk to you about your goals and examines your teeth to ensure they
will benefit from the Invisalign system. He then writes a detailed treatment
plan and orders a full set of customized aligners.
