We craft orthodontic treatments as unique as your smile.
From TMJ exams to Invisalign solutions, we build treatment plans specific to each patient.
Why do I need an orthodontics specialist?
If you’re thinking about orthodontic treatment, consider a doctor who is specialized in moving teeth: an orthodontist. Orthodontists are dental school graduates who continue their education for an additional two to three years in a specialty program/residency accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Orthodontist are specialist focusing not only on straightening the teeth but also aligning the jaws and providing proper tooth function for a stable bite.
Do I still need to see my dentist?
Absolutely. Dentists, who are also known as general or family dentists, are concerned with overall oral health and are licensed to provide general care. Dentists are trained to prevent dental disease, focusing on restoring health to compromised sick teeth. Your general dentist will manage your tooth and gum health for a lifetime. We find the best results occur during a partnership with your dentist. Regular check-ups and cleaning are important during treatment to achieve an ideal result.
Appointments to fit your lifestyle.
Overall Treatment Time
In general, treatment time can vary greatly and depend on the complexity of your case. During the initial consultation, Dr. Baker will be happy to review your treatment options in consideration of treatment time.
Frequency of Visits
Appointments are scheduled according to each patient’s needs. Most patients with traditional braces will be seen every 4 to 8 weeks. Most patients with Invisalign treatment will be seen every 8-16 weeks. If there are specific situations that require more frequent monitoring, Dr. Baker will schedule accordingly.
We treat a wide variety of orthodontic needs for our patients.
Your Initial Exam
Wonder why you have that unusual tooth wear or why your jaw clicks? During your initial visit, Dr. Baker will evaluate not only your tooth alignment but also smile esthetics and function of your bite as related to tooth and jaw position. She will discuss potential concerns and propose treatment options as relevant. It is important to Dr. Baker to provides ample one on one time to answer all patient and parent questions and concerns. We want you to love your smile!
Invisalign is the perfect solution to fit your lifestyle.
Invisalign aligners are clear, removable trays that gradually shift teeth. They are virtually invisible, easy to clean, and can reduce treatment time by up to 50% for adults and teens with certain orthodontic bites.
Braces today are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive.
Braces are an orthodontic solution where brackets are bonded to the tooth and connected by a wire thats helps guide teeth into the correct position. We offer both metal and stain resistant clear braces to fit your aesthetic needs.
Every patient evaluation includes evaluation for TMJ dysfunction.
Patients suffering from this condition will be fitted with a customized splint made entirely in our office to align the jaw with the teeth and reduce symptoms such as headaches, neck aches, facial pain, vertigo, tinnitus, limited mouth mobility, and jaw ‘clicking’.
