Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth using 3D imaging technology. These nearly invisible trays offer comfort and convenience, allowing patients to eat, brush, and floss normally. Treatment typically lasts 9-15 months with 18-30 aligners, requiring check-ins every six weeks. Ideal for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic solutions.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces at Springfield Orthodontics are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than older versions. Patients can personalize brackets with colored rubber bands, which are updated at each appointment. This cost-effective option requires no tracking of aligners and is ideal for complex cases needing precise tooth movement.
Clear Braces
Clear braces provide a discreet alternative to metal braces, blending with teeth for a subtle appearance. Best suited for older teens and adults, these ceramic braces require diligent oral hygiene but eliminate the need for aligner tracking. They offer effective results while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw misalignment and malocclusion through collaboration with oral surgeons. This treatment addresses issues like TMJ pain, headaches, and chewing difficulties while improving facial aesthetics. It combines orthodontic care with surgical precision for comprehensive results in complex cases.
Early Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7+ addresses skeletal growth to correct issues like crowding and jaw asymmetry. By leveraging bone development, this phase reduces future treatment time, prevents extractions, and guides permanent teeth into optimal positions. It ensures long-term stability and functional improvement.
