Treatment Options that Fit Your Life
Modern orthodontic solutions designed around your goals, lifestyle, and schedule.
Braces for Kids & Teens
- Braces move teeth by applying constant, gentle pressure through brackets and archwires.
- The advantage of braces is that the orthodontist is in control of how your teeth move.
- Kids and teens like braces because they can change the colors of the braces ties at every visit.
- Braces are adjusted every 6-8 weeks.
Clear Braces
- Clear braces work the same way as regular braces but are less noticeable
- Clear braces are a more discreet option using tooth-colored ceramic brackets and wires to straighten teeth.
Invisalign & 3M Aligners
- Dr. Schuchert uses both Invisalign and 3M aligners as digital alternatives to braces.
- Aligners straighten teeth gradually with each weekly aligner change.
- Patients are scheduled every 6-10 weeks to have their progress monitored and receive more aligners to change at home.
- Aligners can be removed for eating and brushing.
- Aligners need to be worn at least 20 hours per day for best results.
Early Orthodontics (Phase I)
- The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic screening at 7 years-old to detect certain orthodontic problems.
- These problems include crossbites of front or back teeth, underbites, significant crowding, and thumb habits.
- Early orthodontics lasts only 6-8 months and often lessens the need for more involved treatment later.
