Most of the orthodontic treatments such as braces, palate expanders, smile correction treatments are recommend for young children. Opting for these treatments at a young age ensures that the treatment is successful as it makes use of the natural growth in children. Moreover the duration of orthodontic treatments is less when they are done at a young age. Undergoing orthodontic treatments at a younger age eliminates the need for painful extractions and surgeries at a later stage.

Here are some of the dental appliances used by orthodontists at Exeter Office and other clinics to treat problems of malocclusion and brighten the smiles of our patients.

Braces – Braces are the most common type of orthodontic devices for children. Most of the children need braces to straighten their teeth and achieve a beautiful smile. Braces are available in a lot of materials, such as stainless steel, ceramic, plastic, or combination of different metals. Parents can choose any type of braces depending on their preference and budget.

Invisalign aligners – Invisalign aligners are modern alternative to braces. These aligners are invisible trays, which are worn over the teeth. These trays put pressure on the teeth and gently move them to the desired position.

Temporary Anchorage Devices – Also known as TADs, these devices are used to move teeth. They consist of mini-screws, which are temporarily fixed inside the bone of the mouth. These screws provide a center point to move the teeth in the desired direction. They provide greater tooth control when compared to other devices.

Rubber Bands - They are also called as elastics and are available in a range of colors. Elastics provide greater force to move teeth and jaws.

Retainers – Retainers are used to retain the shape of the teeth after braces are removed. Most of the retainers are removable devices, which are made of plastic. They provide support to the teeth to retain their new position.

There are a lot of other devices such as headgear, palate expanders etc. that are used by orthodontists at our Exeter office and other offices. We use latest devices to ensure high-quality care with minimum pain and long lasting results.
