At Woodlawn Ortho we offer every possible service and treatment option required to set your teeth straight and give you a lifetime of smiles you love.
We will work closely with you to design an orthodontic treatment plan and journey that will not only fix your particular orthodontic issues, but also fit into your work, lifestyle, and budget.
Why so much emphasis on a great smile with straight teeth? Because, while ALL smiles are admittedly beautiful, straight teeth or crooked, straight teeth can be an indicator of good health. Oral health plays an incredibly important role in overall health and well-being, and malocclusion, or misaligned teeth, can lead to dental issues, including things like tooth decay, gum disease, and difficult or painful chewing, all of which can impact heavily on your overall health.
Of course, not everyone is born with straight teeth. Which is where orthodontists come in. If your teeth are crooked, overcrowded, gappy, or show misalignment in your bite, we straighten things out! Healthy teeth, healthy life, happy smiles.
Woodlawn Ortho is an authorized Invisalign® provider, with expertise in fitting this virtually invisible and faster way to straighten your teeth.
As an invisible option over traditional braces, Invisalign® clear aligners are able to straighten out teeth whether they require a simple fix or complex shifts. What’s more, they can often do it faster than braces, and at a similar cost. They are removable – you can easily take the aligners out to eat or drink at your convenience; easy to clean; comfortable; and definitely a fix worth smiling about.
While not all customers are candidates for Invisalign®, you very well may be! Make an appointment today to see if Invisalign® is the right fit and fix for your smile.
A great smile with straight teeth, at any age, is not just about looks. Teeth that are crooked, crowded, or that stick out affect the way your teeth look and work and impact on your overall health. All of this is true whether you are 8 or 80! Which is why people of any age can benefit from, and should take advantage of, orthodontic treatment.
Adults
Did you know that one in three orthodontic patients is an adult? In other words, it’s never too late to enhance your smile and improve your bite; your orthodontist considers many variables when developing your customized treatment plan, but age is rarely a deciding factor!
Of course, while orthodontics for adults is almost as common, and just as effective, as orthodontics for kids and teens, there are some differences in treatment. The biggest being that adults are no longer growing, and their bone density has reached maturity. This means that adult treatment may take slightly longer than treatment for children/teens with a similar problem. An adult treatment plan also needs to account for things like fillings, missing teeth, misshapen or worn teeth, other dental disease, as well as medications, or habits like smoking, clenching, or grinding teeth. All of these can affect the outcome of treatment and inform the treatment plan, but as experts in the field, your Woodlawn Ortho team knows how to overcome all obstacles. We will work with your family dentist to coordinate care, and call in other dental specialists such as oral surgeons, periodontists and endodontists, where and when necessary.
No matter what your dental history, or what your future wishes for your teeth, Woodlawn Ortho will work with you to offer you an orthodontic solution that fits seamlessly with your work, lifestyle, and budget. Not only do our treatment options include a selection of esthetic options such as Invisalign® clear aligners or advanced ceramic clear braces, but we will design a treatment plan fully customized to meet your individual needs.
Whether you are choosing to straighten your teeth for health, personal or professional reasons, we are fully committed to helping you achieve the smile you want, for the future you dream of.
Kids & Teens
Your child’s teeth look perfectly straight to you, but your family dentist has recommended you see an orthodontic specialist… What’s that all about? Well, it’s not always easy to tell when your child may need braces or has an orthodontic problem. Even teeth that look straight may have an underlying hidden problem with the bite or the jaws. Signs that your child or teenager might require orthodontic treatment include things like:
The good news is that, like everything else in life, orthodontic issues caught and treated early are far more easily managed and fixed!
Early treatment takes advantage of growth and turns a potentially difficult issue into a more manageable one.
Our Woodlawn Ortho team are experts in both the multitude of orthodontic treatment options available to kids and teens, as well as the specialized patient care required to make sure kids of all ages feel safe and welcome.
