Braces
Traditional metal braces at Ragan Orthodontics use stainless steel brackets and wires to correct misalignments and bite issues with proven reliability. Our options include self-ligating systems like Damon braces that reduce friction and treatment time. Patients appreciate the ability to customize brackets with colorful elastics, making treatment more engaging for children and teens while maintaining effectiveness for complex cases.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made, removable trays. Ragan Orthodontics provides Invisalign, Reveal, and proprietary Ragan Aligners that straighten teeth through gradual pressure. These nearly invisible options allow for easier oral hygiene maintenance and dietary freedom while delivering precise tooth movement through digital treatment planning.
Orthodontics for All Ages
Our practice specializes in age-appropriate orthodontic solutions from early intervention for children to adult treatments. For kids, we offer WildSmiles braces with fun designs and Carriere Motion appliances to correct bites. Teens benefit from Invisalign Teen with wear indicators, while adults receive discreet options like lingual braces and clear aligners tailored to their lifestyle needs.
Virtual Appointments
Powered by DentalMonitoring, our virtual appointments reduce office visits by 50% through AI-driven progress tracking. Patients use smartphone scans to update treatment status, enabling Dr. Ragan to make adjustments remotely. This technology maintains treatment accuracy while saving time, particularly beneficial for busy families and professionals requiring flexible scheduling.
DentalMonitoring
DentalMonitoring integrates AI technology with orthodontic care to enhance treatment efficiency. Patients submit digital scans through a mobile app, allowing continuous progress monitoring without frequent office visits. This system enables early issue detection and personalized adjustments, ensuring optimal outcomes while minimizing in-person appointments through real-time data analysis.
