TREATMENT OPTIONS

You will find a full range of services at Arkansas Orthodontics, including braces for young people and adults. We offer full upper and lower braces for young people and adults, and we utilize the highest quality techniques. Our technology is so highly refined that the need for extractions, headgear and surgery are greatly reduced for both adults and children. The number one treatment option is full treatment [braces] for young people and adults.

You can take a look at some of the most common orthodontic problems and the customary results here.

Many parents assume that they should wait until their child's permanent teeth are all in place before orthodontic treatment should be considered. Actually, the treatment in many cases would be much easier if problems were detected earlier in the child's development. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children seven years of age have an orthodontic examination. That does not necessarily mean the treatment should start at that point, but catching it early often means it may take less time, be less expensive and avoid the extraction of permanent teeth before conventional treatment with braces.

Arkansas Orthodontics does have an exciting new option WITHOUT BRACES that can help young children between the ages of 5 and 9 resolve some very serious growth and habit problems. For those of you who have children in this age range and you are worried about their growth and development, take a look at the new Myofunctional Trainers.

It is most common to start treatment on young people at 10 1/2 to 11 1/2 years of age. On some occassions it is very important to treat young people much younger. This requires a Two Stage Treatment which the Financial Counselor will review with you along with the fees.

You might be surprised to discover just how many adults we are serving in our practice. Adult patients are highly motivated and very cooperative, and they often find that they not only like the cosmetic changes but also feel much better physically when their face, jaw and bite are properly treated. Adult patients and some young people are excellent candidates for our new [nearly invisible] clear brackets.

Sometimes on both adults and young people, there are issues and risks with the temporo-mandibular joint [TMJ] that must be resolved before treatment can begin. This is done with a very conservative splint therapy

After orthodontic treatment is complete and the braces are removed, we offer a very effective and economical full mouth bleaching procedure. If you have questions about anything, please ask a team member or Dr. P.
