Smile options are abundant at Sky Ortho but you dont have to make a decision on your own. Dr. Larson and Dr. Fitzgerald are here to help you determine what the best options are for you or your child based on physical needs, financial requirements, and ease of care.
At Sky Ortho, we have many different types of brackets to correct alignment problems with the teeth. As seen above, all of the brackets no matter what they look like function the same way. They give us a handle with which to grab onto the tooth to apply the forces necessary to move them where they ought to be.
Different bracket types include ceramic (clear) brackets, traditional metal brackets, and WildSmiles brackets. For example, these bracket bases come in different shapes such as footballs, stars, flowers, baseballs, diamonds, or hearts. In fact, we even have gold brackets available.
We will address how Invisalign works in the answer to another question, but basically, the plastic of the tray gives us a handle on the teeth. In so doing, it applies the pressure necessary to move them to the correct position.
We occasionally need to use other appliances (besides braces or Invisalign) to carry out growth modification forces that will change the way the face and jaws are growing rather than just affecting the alignment of the teeth. We will also discuss this in more detail in the answer to another question.
Our doctors at Sky Ortho have passion and dedication to the practice of orthodontics. Both partners, Dr. Larson and Dr. Fitzgerald, have spent years serving their communities and working toward building a stronger awareness of orthodontics issues. Best of all, our doctors are both equally excited about the future of helping the Moore and Shawnee communities.
