Where timing is everything
When help is required to improve your smile’s appearance, braces – especially with children and teens – should always be timed to complement your physical development. That’s why we always provide an in-depth pre-treatment analysis before any orthodontic work begins. For some children, this might mean waiting to fit braces until the mouth and teeth are more developed. This ensures proper tooth movement, retention, and results that last a lifetime. In addition, when treatment is timed this way, fewer adjustments are required, meaning fewer office visits for you and your family.
We recommend orthodontic screenings for every child at seven years of age
That’s not to say you’re ever too old for braces – in fact, we work with lots of adults who want to correct their smiles. Read on to see the many options we offer for adults and children.
Advanced orthodontics to fit your age and lifestyle
Depending upon your age, your needs, and your goals, we provide a range of orthodontic options to choose from. Our approach minimizes tooth extractions and external appliances, and maximizes timing of care for best results. Each treatment plan is catered to the individual needs of the patient. Tried-and-true standards, plus the latest advances, ensure beautiful results.
There was a time when there was only one choice in braces. Today, we can offer a wide variety of the latest innovations, including:
- Mini-braces, the standard for faster results
- Cosmetic braces, including clear, gold, and silver
- Colored bands that let your child make a fashion statement
- Jaw development and redirection appliances to meet cosmetic and functional needs.
- Invisalign and other aesthetic alternatives
An emphasis on facial aesthetics, for your own signature smile
A proper orthodontic problem takes into account the entire face and jawline structure, not just the teeth. Thanks to advanced diagnostics and the newest technological innovations, our orthodontic care can lead to a more attractive profile and facial appearance.
Strict Sterilization
We go beyond the mandated safety standards to ensure safe, sterile orthodontic care, cleanliness, and sterilization. We employ a combination of chemical and heat sterilization processes for all our office instruments after every use. We only use new orthodontic materials and appliances, never recycled or refurbished. And our staff members wear gloves and protective barriers for your protection.
Your convenience is our concern
We’re always looking for ways to make life a little less complicated for our patients. You can visit us at two convenient locations in Buffalo and Alden. We offer “before school” early morning hours. And we’re especially proud of our “on-time” appointment record, designed to keep you on schedule. Plus, we’re available 24 hours in case of emergency.
Because braces are an investment in yourself or your child, we offer affordable payment options, including a no-interest financing plan. And all major credit cares are welcome.
