Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues, this treatment offers flexibility for busy lifestyles. Each set of aligners gradually shifts teeth, with most treatments lasting 918 months. Dr. Changs expertise ensures personalized care, leveraging advanced 3D imaging for precise results. Patients appreciate the ease of maintenance and comfort compared to traditional braces.
Braces for Adults
Specialized braces for adults address alignment and bite issues while prioritizing aesthetics. Options include metal, ceramic, and lingual braces, tailored to fit professional and social needs. Treatment improves oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing wear. Over 90% of adult patients qualify for Invisalign, with many noticing improvements within months. Dr. Changs ongoing Invisalign training ensures cutting-edge, effective care.
Early Orthodontic Care
Early evaluations around age 7 identify and address potential dental issues before they worsen. This phase may involve monitoring growth, guiding jaw development, or using interceptive appliances. Early intervention can reduce the need for future treatment, creating space for permanent teeth. Chang Orthodontics emphasizes a child-friendly approach, ensuring comfort and building positive long-term oral health habits through personalized care.
Braces for Teens
Teen braces combine effectiveness with aesthetic options like ceramic and clear aligners. Treatment addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues during critical developmental years. Self-ligating and lingual braces offer discreet, efficient solutions. The practice prioritizes convenience with minimal adjustment visits and flexible scheduling. Compassionate care focuses on boosting confidence during formative years while ensuring long-term dental health.
Orthodontic Consultation
A complimentary consultation includes a digital X-ray, treatment assessment, and personalized plan. Patients learn about options like braces, Invisalign, and financing during this visit. The team explains timelines, costs, and insurance coverage in plain language. Appointments are efficient, with treatment often starting the same day. This no-pressure evaluation emphasizes transparency and patient education to guide informed decisions.
