Dr. Laurabelieves that all patients deserve the latest technology that will soon be the standard of care. 3D imagingtechnology using the i-CAT allows Dr. Laurato get a complete picture of your teeth and all of the surrounding structures, head and neck instead of attempting to make a complete and accurate diagnosis off of a flat x-ray. Dr. Lauracan also do an airway analysis to help determine if a patient should be evaluated for sleep apnea and decide if an oral appliance is indicated.

At Lineberry Esthetics, we believe that a youthful look begins with a healthy-looking smile. But it doesnt end with the orthodontic services we provide at our office. That is why we are proud to provide Botox and Juvderm to compliment your dazzling smile. We also carry Obagi and are available to give you expert advice on the use of this great product line.

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If youre self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile youve always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! Dr. Lauraloves seeing how happy her patients are with their new smiles. We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure you receive the quality care you deserve.

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great time to wear braces!

Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors, including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor insuccessful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help ensure a quicker treatment time.
