We Have the Best Options for you!

Straight teeth have become a standard for professionals; it is expected that adults have straight teeth in a work environment. But not all adults had access to orthodontics as children or developed dental problems in their adult years.

This doesn’t have to be the case though, We offer many Adult orthodontics options to help:

Aesthetics.

Make it easier to maintain and clean teeth.

Reduce tooth decay, gum disease, and bone loss.

Prevent joint pain (TMJ problems) or muscular pain (myofascial pain).

Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Early detection of a problematic orthodontic issue allows our orthodontist, Dr. James Riesenberger, the opportunity to treat his patient while his or her jaws are still growing and allows an opportunity to help create the space needed for proper eruption of teeth.

Sleep Apnea Appliances

This therapy is a highly effective treatment option for snoring and OSA. It fits over your teeth like an orthodontic retainer while you sleep, supporting the jaw in its forward position to keep airways open during sleep hours- without having any negative side effects!

Braces for adults

Braces are more aesthetically pleasing for adults today than they were years ago when there were large metal braces or metal bands on every single tooth. The metal braces of today are much smaller. Even better is today adults have more options than the traditional metal braces.

 

There is also the option to have “clear braces” which are braces made of ceramic in conjunction with white-coated wires. Another alternative to traditional braces are laboratory-fabricated clear aligners or Invisalign are also available to the adult patient. This process uses a succession of clear aligners to straighten adult teeth.

 

Unfortunately, treatment is often more complex for adults due to existing restoration (e.g. crowns), compromised periodontal conditions, and medical conditions. Also, because adult patients’ facial bones are finished growing, then orthognathic surgery (orthodontics with facial surgery) may be needed to correct skeletal problems.

Why are we the best option for you?

Due to the complexity of adult orthodontics, it is best to have treatment with an orthodontist who is a specialist with additional training beyond dental school. After four years at an ADA accredited dental school, an orthodontist must go for an additional 2 to 3 years of orthodontic training.

About Invisalign

Dr. Riesenberger is a Platinum provider of Invisalign and was previously on the Century Club “Top 100 Providers” in the nation. Invisalign is thought of as a newer technology, but it has actually been around for over 20 years, long enough to be considered a proven technology with over six million people treated worldwide. Invisalign technology uses 3-D computer generated imaging to help create the clear aligners for each individual patient.

It is a very precise process where Align Technology and Dr. Riesenberger work together to help properly align teeth. Invisalign are clear aligners that have minimal impact on your daily life and are easy and comfortable to wear. Because they are clear aligners, there is no need for braces, bands or wires. It is an ideal alternative for those patients (adults or teens) who want to straighten their teeth without the look of braces.There are a number of advantages of Invisalign in relation to braces:

Less noticeable.

Removable which allows for better oral hygiene.

More comfortable due to no bands, braces, or wires.

No restrictions on what a patient is able to eat.
