Orthodontic Services

At Eberle Orthodontics, we offer two styles of appliances: traditional metal and clear/ceramic braces. Traditional metal braces have withstood the test of time due to their proven ability to deliver exceptional results in correcting various orthodontic issues. While they may lack the subtle look of newer methods, their durability and affordability make them a popular choice if you are looking for a reliable orthodontic treatment. In comparison, our clear braces are designed for those looking for a more discreet option. The tooth-colored materials blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable. They are a welcome option for our patients who desire a more conspicuous approach for a straighter smile without sacrificing the effectiveness of your treatment.

Invisalign® is a modern solution for achieving a more healthy, beautiful smile by addressing a variety of concerns such as crowding, spacing irregularities and bite misalignment. Many adults and teens who shy away from metal braces choose this approach. The clear aligners blend in with your natural teeth, making it nearly impossible for your friends and family to tell you have anything on your teeth at all! The aligner trays are also removable, allowing you to take them out when you need to, so you can eat what you want when you want! For busy teenagers, this is a huge bonus—they don’t need to worry about wearing a mouthguard when playing sports or how those prom pictures will turn out. Overall, Invisalign® is a great option if you are looking for an orthodontic treatment that is shorter, less painful and nearly invisible while straightening your smile.

Once you have finished your orthodontic treatment, it is important to protect your new beautiful smile with a retainer. Teeth have a tendency to move back to their original positions, especially in the months following the completion of your braces or clear aligners treatment. Wearing a retainer helps prevent relapse, ensuring your desired results last for years to come. Dr. Eberle uses two different kinds of retainers: removable and bonded ones. Bonded is just like it sounds. Dr. Eberle will fix it to the back of your teeth—typically the front bottom teeth—providing a steadfast foundation for your newfound alignment. Our removable retainers allow you to have more freedom to take them out at your convenience—whether it’s time to eat, brush or floss. You will need to be dedicated to wearing them consistently. With the help of these retainers and wearing them regularly as prescribed by Dr. Eberle, our patients maintain their radiant new smile and achieve long-term oral health for life.

At Eberle Orthodontics, we strive for the highest standard of orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages. Each patient is unique and so are their orthodontic requirements. Sometimes, children may require Phase 1 treatment with limited braces and/or palatal expansion to help create space to accommodate all of the permanent teeth. Early orthodontics is an early interceptive treatment to help grow the mouth in preparation for adult teeth. By the time teenage years come around, all of the permanent teeth have erupted, or are close to erupting, and we can begin treatment to address the aesthetics and function of your child’s smile. As we age into adulthood, our teeth shift and can become crowded and even crooked. This may seem like strictly a cosmetic concern, but crowded teeth are actually more difficult to brush and floss properly. Everyone should feel confident in their smile regardless of age, and we are here to help make it happen!
