What Types of Braces Are Available?

At Northeast Orthodontic Specialists, we offer a variety of orthodontic solutions, each designed to address specific needs. Whether you’re seeking a more discreet option or require a traditional approach, we have the right treatment for you:

• Metal Braces: Highly durable and effective, these traditional braces are perfect for complex cases that require precise adjustments.
• Ceramic Braces: These tooth-colored braces offer the same functionality as metal braces but are less noticeable, making them ideal for those who want a more aesthetic option.
• LightForce 3D Printed Braces: Custom-designed for a perfect fit, these braces provide personalized care with the latest digital technology.
• Invisible/Lingual Braces: Hidden on the inside of your teeth, lingual braces offer a completely discreet way to straighten your smile.

Each option comes with its own benefits, and Dr. Stadiem will work with you to find the best fit for your lifestyle and dental needs.

What Age is Best for Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic care isn’t just for teens—people of all ages can benefit from a straighter smile. However, starting early can help prevent more serious issues down the line. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children get their first orthodontic screening by age 7. Adolescent orthodontic care is important because this is when many bite or alignment issues begin to surface.

For adults, it’s never too late to enhance your smile! Whether it’s correcting overcrowded teeth or fixing a misaligned jaw, Dr. Stadiem offers orthodontic treatments for adults to help you achieve your best smile.

How Long Do I Need to Wear a Retainer After Treatment?

After your orthodontic treatment is complete, wearing a retainer is crucial to maintaining your new smile. Typically, patients wear their retainers full-time for the first few months and then transition to nighttime wear. Dr. Stadiem will provide you with a personalized retention plan based on your treatment to ensure your teeth stay perfectly aligned for years to come.

How Often Should I Visit the Orthodontist During Treatment?

Once you begin orthodontic treatment, regular visits are essential to ensure your progress. Most patients will need to visit us every 4 to 8 weeks for checkups, adjustments, or new aligners. These appointments allow us to monitor your treatment closely, make adjustments as needed, and ensure everything is progressing as planned.
