Types of Appliances We Offer

Orthodontic appliances we offer at Christensen Orthodontics include:

Braces

Braces, including self-ligation braces, are the prevailing orthodontic devices employed for teeth straightening and alignment. These braces feature metal brackets affixed to the front of the teeth and are linked by a specialized wire that exerts controlled pressure to guide the teeth into their intended positions.

Palatal expanders

Palatal expanders are used to widen the upper jaw to correct overcrowding or misaligned teeth. They consist of a metal or acrylic appliance that is placed on the roof of the mouth and is gradually expanded to widen the jaw.

Retainers

Retainers are used to maintain the position of the teeth after orthodontic treatment has been completed. They may be fixed or removable and are made from acrylic or a combination of acrylic and wire.

Orthodontic appliances are typically used in conjunction with other types of treatment, such as braces or clear aligners, to achieve the best possible results. It is important to follow the orthodontist's instructions for wearing and caring for orthodontic appliances to ensure that treatment is effective.
