Dentofacial Orthopedics & Orthodontics (Braces)

At Brighton Dental, we provide dentofacial orthopedics & orthodontic treatment for both adults and children. We provide many different treatment methods to correct the jaw problems and straighten teeth:

             * Functional Appliances (jaw development in growing children)
             * Conventional Braces (Metal & Porcelain Brackets)
             * Clear Aligners (Invisalign & other clear aligners)
             * Alternative Light Force Functional Appliances (ALFs)
             * Myobrace and myofuntional appliances (Learn more about Myobrace)
             * Other Removable Appliances (minor alignment correction)

Comprehensive Treatment for Adults & Children:

* There are usually two phases.
    - Phase I: Dentofacial orthopedics to develop jaw width,
         advance jaw nonsurgicaly (using protraction headgears, ALFs,
         myofunctional apliances, & growth modification in
         growing children), correct jaw relationship with
         oral functional appliances.

        + We recommend early treatment for young children.
          Early treatment can reduce and eliminate the needs of
          adult teeth extraction & orthognathic (jaw) surgery in
          orthodontic treatment (phase II) at later ages.

     - Phase II: Orthodontics to align teeth

* Dentofacial orthopedics & orthodontics techniques are used to help children & adults to achieve broad smiles, straight teeth, and more attractive facial aesthetics.

Limited orthodontic treatment:

* Regaining spaces for implants and dental bridges, molar
uprighting, etc.
* Teeth extrusion for crown restoration.
* Correcting a single or several teeth mild crossbites.
* Minor teeth alignment.
