Orthodontic Appliances in Mueller in Austin, TX
We understand that effective orthodontic treatment often involves more than just braces. To address a wide range of dental and jaw alignment issues, we offer various orthodontic appliances tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients. These specialized tools are integral to achieving optimal results, ensuring that every patient receives comprehensive care designed to create beautiful, healthy smiles.
Other Types of Orthodontic Appliances We Offer
Palatal Expanders
Used primarily in younger patients whose jaws are still growing, palatal expanders gently widen the upper jaw to correct crossbites, eliminate crowding, and ensure proper alignment of the upper and lower teeth. This appliance can play a crucial role in preparing the mouth for future orthodontic treatment.
Space Maintainers
If a child loses a baby tooth prematurely, a space maintainer can prevent other teeth from shifting into the empty space, ensuring that there is enough room for the permanent tooth to erupt correctly. This appliance helps maintain dental alignment and can reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later on.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
TADs are small, temporary screws placed in the jawbone to serve as an anchor point for moving specific teeth. This innovative technology can shorten treatment time and achieve movements that might not be possible with braces alone.
Herbst Appliance
Often used for patients with an overbite, the Herbst appliance encourages the forward growth of the lower jaw while restraining the upper jaw, promoting better bite alignment. This appliance is typically used in growing children and adolescents to take advantage of natural growth patterns.
Retainers
After the active phase of orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining the new position of the teeth. We offer a variety of retainers, including fixed, Hawley, and clear aligners, to ensure that each patient’s smile remains straight and beautiful long after their braces come off.
