Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, wire-free solution for straightening teeth using custom-fit plastic trays. At Thomas Orthodontics, we provide in-house aligners designed with 3D technology for precise, comfortable treatment. Patients enjoy the convenience of removable trays that fit seamlessly into daily routines while achieving a confident, straighter smile.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use Empower self-ligating technology for efficient, comfortable orthodontic treatment. These brackets eliminate elastic ties, reducing friction and accelerating tooth movement. Ideal for correcting complex issues, they offer durability and cost-effectiveness for patients seeking reliable results in Spanish Fork and Salem.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces blend aesthetic appeal with strength, featuring tooth-colored brackets that minimize visibility. Using self-ligating technology, they provide faster treatment and easier maintenance. Perfect for patients desiring subtlety without compromising effectiveness, these braces address a wide range of orthodontic needs discreetly.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention guides jaw development and corrects bite issues in children aged 7+. Treatments like expanders and Forsus springs create space for adult teeth, preventing future complications. This proactive approach reduces treatment time and enhances long-term oral health for young patients.
Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontic solutions address misalignment and bite issues with discreet options like clear aligners and ceramic braces. Tailored plans accommodate busy lifestyles, offering flexible financing and minimal disruption. Patients achieve improved aesthetics and oral function, boosting confidence at any age.
