Orthodontics
Orthodontics at Summit Family Orthodontics focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws for improved function and aesthetics. Our treatments cater to children, teens, and adults, using customized plans to address bite issues, overcrowding, and spacing. By combining clinical expertise with advanced technology, we ensure lasting results that enhance both oral health and confidence.
Phase 1
Phase 1 orthodontics targets children aged 610, addressing developmental issues like jaw growth and early tooth alignment. Early intervention prevents severe problems, reduces future treatment complexity, and boosts self-esteem. Our team uses age-appropriate appliances to guide proper dental development, ensuring a smoother transition to Phase 2 care.
Phase 2
Phase 2 begins once most permanent teeth erupt, focusing on final alignment and bite correction. This stage ensures teeth are optimally positioned for stability and aesthetics. Whether continuing from Phase 1 or starting fresh, our personalized approach with braces or aligners delivers a functional, confident smile for teens and adults.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain a reliable solution for complex cases, offering durability and precision. We customize treatment with high-quality brackets and wires, ensuring efficient tooth movement. Ideal for teens and adults, this time-tested option provides excellent results at an affordable cost, supported by regular adjustments and expert care.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative to braces for teens and adults. Custom-made aligners gradually shift teeth into place without affecting daily life. Our team uses 3D imaging to design precise treatment plans, ensuring comfort and effectiveness. This option is ideal for those seeking flexibility and a nearly invisible orthodontic solution.
