Braces

Braces are a common choice for patients of all ages, offering a classic orthodontic experience with the efficiency of treating a wide range of conditions from simple tooth movement to bite problems. Our orthodontists use these metal appliances to gently apply a consistent force to move your teeth into the desired positions using brackets and archwires. This treatment is a great option for patients who find it challenging to be consistent with wearing aligners. Plus, our kid and teen patients enjoy choosing from a rainbow of colors for their elastics. If you want the effectiveness of traditional braces but are looking for a more inconspicuous look, our ceramic braces may be the way to go.

Clear Aligners

Richmond Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is happy to provide the newest creation in orthodontics with clear aligners, such as Spark Clear Aligners. This cutting-edge orthodontic treatment method uses TrueGEN™ material to deliver a more comfortable experience. The nearly invisible aligners are designed to be more transparent and take on less stains than other aligner brands. The goal of the aligners is to straighten teeth and correct malocclusions I and II using clear, removable trays. Every couple of weeks, you will be given a new pair of trays to wear until you’ve reached the end of your treatment. These aligners are a fantastic way to move teeth while enhancing your overall oral health.

Early Orthodontics

At Richmond Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we recognize the distinct dental needs of children and can spot early signs that may indicate a need for orthodontic care. The American Association of Orthodontists suggests that children have their first orthodontic checkup by age 7 or when any potential issues arise. By this age, most children have a mix of permanent and baby teeth, allowing our team to evaluate the development of their bite and jaw. Our skilled and caring orthodontists are here to determine if early treatment is necessary and, if so, to guide your child’s teeth into proper alignment for a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.

Adult Orthodontics

Age is just a number, and it shouldn’t stop you from pursuing a happy, healthy smile! In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists reports that adults make up 25% of all orthodontic patients. Adult orthodontic treatment addresses a variety of bite issues such as underbite, crossbite, overbite and underbite. By adjusting your bite, our orthodontists are able to enhance your overall oral function and help alleviate any jaw pain you may be experiencing. Additionally, straight teeth reduce the risk of plaque buildup, cavities and periodontal (gum) disease. At Richmond Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we are happy to provide many adult orthodontic treatment options such as braces, and clear aligners.
