Our smiles are how we greet the world. When were self-conscious about our teeth, we tend to have lower confidence and feel uncomfortable around others. But when we know our teeth are straight and healthy, and our smile looks incredible, our confidence radiates with every interaction!
Choosing orthodontic care is a decision to transform your life. Every day, Dr. Travis Nash and our team see people make that choice and start on the path to a lifetime of improved self-esteem, stronger oral health, and confidence in everypartof their lives.
As an independent practice, we set our schedule. Youll always have plenty of time to ask questions and never be rushed through a visit. Youll not feel like an anonymous number on a chart or teeth in the treatment chair, either. Instead, well know you by name, greet you with genuine smiles, and look forward to catching up on your latest news!
Working in orthodontics gives us time to build real relationships with our patients and families. You are important to us and we want to learn about your life, goals, and passions. Your visits are a time to assess and update you on the progress youre making and to spend a few minutes chatting, as well. Wed love to hear about your latest adventures, share a few laughs, and ensure yousmilethroughout your visits.
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! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sureyou 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 steadily 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 in a successful 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.
