Dr. Sutton has devoted thousands of hours of study, work, and care to thousands of people for over 30 years. He achieved Fellowship status in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2004. This award requires the successful completion a 250 question, four-hour examination covering all aspects of dentistry, as well as completing 500 hours of continuing education in a prescribed format that ensures a broad knowledge base. Dr. Suttons post-doctoral studies have encompassed many areas, including IV sedation, implantology, surgery, and orthodontics.

My time outside the office is devoted to my family and my goal of living a full, active life. I have been a pilot for over 20 years and love the exhilarating freedom that flying provides! Playing guitar in the evenings is a great relaxation as well. I enjoy scuba diving, motorcycle riding, snow and water sports, and have recently taken up sailing.

I am also dedicated to the Roseburg community. I have strong moral and ethical beliefs centered on the axiom, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To that end, I served on the board of the Mercy Foundation, a non-profit service organization serving the unmet healthcare needs of the children of our community for 9 years.

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

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile youve always dreamed of as well as the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, so our practice is dedicated to making sure that 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 brackets that are clear or metallic, and in some cases, choose 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 age to wear braces!

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

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth by using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.

Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene, as ceramic braces are larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth rather than on lower teeth.

Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are also removable, allowing you to eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, this helps to make brushing and flossing less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.

Gold braces are similar to traditional metal braces. Like traditional metal braces, gold braces are made of stainless steel; however, they are coated in gold. The gold coating may be considered a more cosmetic option than traditional metal braces. And, the cost of gold braces is surprisingly comparable to most clear braces.

Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth and are therefore invisible when you smile. Lingual braces are 100% customized to match the shape of your teeth. Lingual braces are a very reasonable option for athletes, models, actors/actresses, musicians who play wind instruments, and adult professionals.
