Orthodontic (Braces) Services in Billings Bridge Area
From teens to adults, straight teeth are associated with better function, better resistance to disease, and a healthier smile.
Whether you are choosing braces for aesthetic or functional reasons, we have the right treatment option for your budget, and we offer the convenience of complete dental and orthodontic services in one office. .
Orthodontics and Teeth Alignment
Orthodontic treatment is used to correct problems of excessive space between teeth and crooked or crowded teeth. This therapy is also used to correct overbites, underbites and crossbites. The therapy usually involves the use of braces to create spaces or reshape the teeth and jaws.
Orthodontics and TMD
The science of orthodontics is increasingly being used by adults to treat TMD which causes pain to millions of people everyday. TMD is often associated with headaches, muscle spasms, dizziness and ringing in the ears.
In order to properly treat TMD, it is imperative that it is assessed in a clear and comprehensive manner in order to rule out any degenerative joint diseases. Our thorough orthodontic evaluations include an examination of the joints in order to help patients achieve both healthy joints and beautiful smiles.
Orthodontics and Aesthetics
Many adults are also discovering the difference that improved alignment can make to the appearance of their smiles. The use of braces to improve the look of a smile is gaining in popularity. With newer materials, braces are less visible than ever before!
Whether for adolescents or adults, orthodontics can improve the look of your teeth and your overall health. Contact us at Family Dental Clinic today to learn more.
Early Orthodontic Treatment for Children
Orthodontic treatment in young children is known as interceptive orthodontics. Intervention may begin as early as age 6 or 7. At this age, teeth are still developing. The jaw is still growing. That means certain conditions, such as crowding, may be easier to address..
Two conditions that require early intervention are crossbites and protruding front teeth. A crossbite can cause the jaws to grow unevenly. Front teeth that stick out may be fractured or injured in an accident, such as a fall.
Early treatment also may be useful when the dental arches and jaws are not in the correct position. Functional appliances may fix or improve these problems. More treatment usually is needed later on, but it may be shorter and less involved.
How to tell if your child may need early orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment with metal braces and clear braces
Despite all the advances in orthodontics technology & the new braces & aligners products on the market, traditional metal braces will always be an option. The major reason for this is only the technology of traditional metal braces can be used to treat certain severe or complex cases. If some of your teeth need to be moved pretty far in order to give you a straight & aligned smile, traditional braces may be the only choice, at least at first. It is possible to start your orthodontics treatment using traditional braces to complete complex tooth movements & then switch to clear aligners to bring teeth into their final position.
When we say clear braces, most people think of clear plastic aligners like Invisalign or ClearCorrect. These aligners are made from a mold of your teeth & look like a thin mouthguard. Because they are clear, these aligners are nearly invisible. People won't know you're wearing an orthodontic appliance, even from a few feet away. They work by gently pushing your teeth into a position that matches the custom-designed aligner. We refer to this type of orthodontic treatment as clear aligners or invisible braces. We should note that clear aligners treatments usual cost more than traditional braces options.
There are also traditional braces made from innovative new materials that are nearly invisible. The difference is the brackets that attach to your teeth & hold the archwire in place are clear instead of metal, hence why we call them clear braces. As a result, you won't have the typical "metal mouth" appearance that we associate with traditional braces, but you'll get the same treatment power as traditional braces. Examples of these clear braces are Damon System or Six Month Smiles. If this is an option that interests you, ask Dr. Kubicka at our Family Dental Clinic about clear braces.
A similar option is white or ceramic braces. White or ceramic refers to tooth-colored brackets that are attached to your teeth & hold the arch wire. Just like clear braces, with white or ceramic braces you won't have a mouth full of metal, & people might not even notice you have braces from a distance or in photographs. Both ceramic braces & clear braces tend to be about the same price as metal braces.

How to tell if your child may need early orthodontic treatment
- Early or late loss of baby teeth. Your child should typically start losing teeth around age five, and will have all permanent teeth around age 13.
- Difficulty chewing and/or biting
- Mouth breathing (Myofunctional Therapy with "Myobrace System")
- Your child continues sucking his or her thumb after age five
- Speech impediments
- Protruding teeth (the top teeth and the bottom teeth extend away from each other)
- Teeth that don't come together in a normal manner or even at all
- Shifting of the jaw when your child opens or closes his or her mouth (crossbites)
- Crowded front teeth around age seven or eight
