Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use durable brackets and wires to correct complex dental issues like overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignments. They are cost-effective and suitable for patients of all ages. Our Wichita practice combines modern technology with personalized adjustments to ensure efficient tooth movement and long-term oral health benefits.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without metal brackets. Ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues, these custom trays provide flexibility for eating and oral hygiene while delivering gradual, precise results over 9-15 months in most cases.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces blend with natural tooth color for a subtler appearance while maintaining effectiveness similar to metal braces. They are preferred by adults and older teens seeking aesthetic treatment but require careful maintenance to prevent staining of elastics and adhesive.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind teeth for complete invisibility, making them ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients. The MTM No-Trace system corrects minor alignment issues in 12-24 weeks with low-profile brackets that don't interfere with daily activities.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics addresses severe jaw misalignment and bite issues unresponsive to braces alone. Performed in collaboration with oral surgeons, this treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontics, jaw repositioning, and post-operative fine-tuning to improve function and facial symmetry for lasting results.
