Why Are You Looking for an Orthodontist?
Here at the Columbus Orthodontic Center, we provide top-of-the-line orthodontics for kids and adults alike. You can thus count on us whether you need braces, Invisalign trays, or other alignment work. As required, our office even offers jaw surgery alongside our standard services. Perhaps best of all, though, these treatments are housed in one convenient location. To learn more about them, simply click on the images below!
You can always trust traditional braces to fix things when it comes to misaligned smiles. Dr. Mason uses these metal brackets and wires to correct crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth. You’ll get good results, too – these braces are both cost-effective and a tried-and-true orthodontic solution.
Invisalign
If you’re an adult who doesn’t want a “metal mouth,” regular braces may not be ideal. That’s okay, though, as you can always get Invisalign! These clear aligners will subtly and comfortably align your smile. As such, you’ll not only get to maintain confidence during treatment but also finish faster than with metal braces.
Invisalign Teen
Of course, Invisalign doesn’t just help grown-ups; even teens can benefit from it. After all, clear aligners are nearly invisible, fit comfortably, and can be removed at any time. They’re perfect, then, for image-conscious kids who want dazzlingly straight grins.
Self-Ligating Braces
Unlike traditional braces, self-ligating ones hold wires in place with their own brackets. Consequently, they tend to put less strain on teeth and align them more efficiently. The team at Columbus Orthodontic Center relies on the Empower system for this approach, forgoing the need for elastic bands or tightening.
Hidden Braces
While standard braces are put on the fronts of teeth, hidden braces are placed on the backs. These latter kinds, therefore, are great for adults who want straighter teeth without appearance changes. Our office uses the Incognito brand of lingual braces, which can be fully customized for every patient.
Clear Braces
Instead of metal, clear braces rely on a clear ceramic material. Even its wires can be tooth-colored, making this appliance almost invisible when worn. Usually, these braces work best for those wishing to straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious.
Phase 1 Orthodontic Treatment
Also known as early interceptive work, Phase 1 orthodontic treatment addresses smile issues in young children. Namely, it attempts to correct misalignments and similar matters in kids under age 7. That way, dentists can treat minor problems before they get more complicated later.
Surgical Treatment
Our practice offers jaw surgery through coordination with a local surgeon. Typically, dentists perform it to correct injuries and abnormalities in the jaw bones and teeth. Often enough, a surgeon will perform such treatment along with orthodontic work to improve a patient’s oral health.
Accelerated Orthodontics
Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (AOO) is an approach that reduces the time to align crooked or misshapen teeth properly. It uses devices like AcceleDent and the Propel VPRO5 to speed up the remodeling of your smile’s bone tissue. Generally, it’s best done for patients who lack bone or gum support to undergo traditional treatments.
Does your dental plan include coverage for orthodontic treatment? Then let our team help you utilize your benefits! If you are currently insured but are having trouble understanding the details of your coverage, that’s okay – we can go over it with you. Since a lifetime orthodontic benefit is different than “regular” dental insurance benefits, it’s important to know the details and understand the cost before committing. If you don’t have dental insurance or your provider doesn’t cover orthodontic treatment, then we will review your other financial options.
