Dental braces are the most reliable way to achieve straight and healthy teeth. Whether your childs teeth are misaligned, or youve never had braces yourself, Dr. Wakefield offers orthodontics in Cambridge to meet your needs. As a family-friendly dental office, our braces solutions correct multiple dental alignment issues experienced by patients of all ages.
Braces are a common rite of passage for kids and teens that support ideal oral health as they grow older. The development of a childs jaw and dental alignment can be corrected in childhood to improve their health and confidence in adulthood. Braces are typically recommended to correct the following childhood dental issues:
If your child is experiencing multiple and complex problems from the list above, braces can also be customized to correct all issues in the least amount of time. Straight teeth help kids more easily brush and floss and provide them with a boost of self-esteem. Attachments like diagonal bands and headgear can be attached to braces to create a healthy bite and ideal alignment.
Asmuch as developing smiles benefit from orthodontics, mature patients can take advantage of the health and aesthetic benefits of braces as well. Adult dental braces are ideal for those who never received orthodontic attention as children or those who did have braces but havent kept up with retainer use and are experiencing a slow relapse. Tilted, rotated, and twisted teeth can all be corrected with orthodontics.
At the office of Dr. Wakefield, we understand that adults are more concerned with their appearances than young children, which is why our braces can be customized to be as unobtrusive as possible. You can choose from tooth-colored and ceramic braces, white wires, and other cosmetic braces solutions at our office.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities (malocclusions*).Recent years have brought about many changes within the dental industry, specifically with regards to orthodontic treatment and care. Now more than ever patients are experiencing fewer incidences of cavities and missing teeth due to the heightened awareness of fluoride use and preventative dentistry. This increasing awareness on the health and look of a patients smile has fueled the desire for many to seek out orthodontia not only as a medicalnecessity but for cosmetic reasons as well.
*Malocclusion is the technical term for teeth that dont fit together correctly. Malocclusions not only affect the teeth, but also the appearance of the face. Most malocclusions are inherited; however some are due to acquired habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. The spacing left from an adult tooth being extracted or an early loss of a baby tooth can also contribute to a malocclusion.

I have one child that just got her braces off, one that just got his on and one that is in the process of starting braces and I can't speak more highly of Dr. Wakefield and her staff. They are friendly and caring and my kids enjoy their appointments.

Our first impression of here was ok the kids got cleanings and people were friendly. I went back with the boys. But then came back for my son to get some small work done and was told very adamantly I could not go back with my young child ? I have 2 kids and they have been to plenty of dentists and never have I not been allowed back? This was not acceptable and we left .. would never recommend:( maybe for older kids but not if you have young children. If I would have been told in advance never would have been an issue just would have found another dentist .

My husband and I went for the first time for check up and cleaning. Everyone was very pleasant and accommodating. The hygienist, Jessica, was very thorough with her job which made me satisfied with the service. Dr. Darcy was also very nice and engaging which we appreciated. However, I'm giving them 3 starts because they need to improve their back office service. One time I got an urgent email from them that my insurance was not accepted and they wanted me to contact their office. I called several times but their business person was either not available or they were not picking up. I found out eventually that they contacted a wrong insurance company but I don't know how when I provided them with my current insurance. After a few weeks, I got an email from my insurance about this claim yet I didn't get any communication nor an apology from Dr. Wakefield's office. Then last month, I went for an appointment. As usual, the hygienist and Dr. Wakefield were professional and nice. However, I was surprised when they told me I would need to put a deposit for an appointment in December even though I didn't have any overdue accounts nor I missed any payments. This was the first time we encountered this since we started going to their office in the last two years. Unfortunately, this was also right away charged to my account. I requested for documents explaining this new policy and about their cancellation but it's been two weeks and I haven't heard from them. Due to this, I gave them 3 stars which I'm willing to update once I hear from them.
