Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens, this treatment offers comfort and flexibility, allowing patients to maintain oral hygiene easily. At Risinger Orthodontics, we leverage our status as an Invisalign Diamond Top 1% Provider to deliver customized treatment plans for optimal results.
Braces
Modern braces provide effective teeth alignment with enhanced comfort. Options include traditional metal braces and ceramic braces that blend with teeth. Our team tailors treatment to address crowding, gaps, and bite issues, ensuring durable results for patients of all ages in Glastonbury, CT.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. We offer removable Hawley retainers, Vivera clear retainers, and permanent lingual wires. Proper retainer use prevents teeth from shifting, preserving the results of braces or Invisalign treatment for long-term oral health.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite and jaw issues in children. By starting care around age 7, we guide proper tooth eruption and jaw growth, reducing future treatment complexity. This proactive approach ensures healthier smiles and shorter treatment times for young patients.
Orthodontic Appliances
Specialized appliances like palatal expanders, Herbst appliances, and Carriere motion appliances correct jaw alignment and bite issues. These tools prepare patients for braces or aligners, improving treatment efficiency. Our team selects appliances based on individual needs for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
