Our Approach
At Praska Orthodontics, we take a unique approach to orthodontic care. We believe in treating our patients on a non-surgical and non-extraction basis, using our proprietary philosophy of tooth guidance and timing to create beautiful, functional smiles. We achieve this through the use of removable orthopedic appliances, which gently guide the teeth into their ideal positions.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to meet the unique needs of our patients. From orthodontic treatment for adults and children to treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders and facial orthopedics, we have the expertise and experience to address a range of orthodontic needs.
Our services include:
- Airway Orthodontics: For patients who experience breathing difficulties or have narrow upper jaws, we offer airway orthodontics to help improve breathing and overall health.
- Tooth Guidance: Our tooth guidance treatment helps anterior teeth erupt into better alignment through proper timing of deciduous tooth removals.
- Early Treatment: We recommend that children have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7 to identify any potential issues early on.
- Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) Treatment: We specialize in treating TMJ disorders, which can develop due to various reasons.
- Appliances: Our functional removable appliances correct skeletal and dental abnormalities without surgery.
- Braces: We offer traditional braces to align teeth, close spaces, and further correct the bite.
- STARS (Invisible Braces): Our clear removable appliances correct minor misalignment and spacing issues.
