Types of Orthodontic Treatment Offered at Rise Dental Studio
Rise Dental Studio and Dr. Abrams are dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized, and effective orthodontic treatments suitable for every patient's needs.
Incognito Lingual Braces by 3M
Incognito™ lingual braces by 3M provide a nearly invisible orthodontic treatment, as they are placed behind your teeth. This state-of-the-art option allows you to correct your smile discreetly, making it an excellent choice for those who want to maintain a totally natural appearance throughout treatment. The Incognito lingual braces system offers several benefits, such as:
- Hidden treatment: Since Incognito braces are placed behind your teeth, they remain virtually invisible to others, allowing for a more discreet treatment experience.
- Customized brackets: Each Incognito bracket is custom-designed and manufactured for your individual teeth, ensuring optimal fit and comfort during treatment.
- Effective for complex cases: Incognito lingual braces are capable of correcting complex orthodontic issues on par with conventional braces, including misaligned bites and severe crowding, making them an excellent treatment option for a variety of cases.
Incognito lingual braces offer the personalization and low visibility of clear aligners with the precise force of conventional braces. Speak with Dr. Abrams about whether Incognito lingual braces are the right option for your needs and goals.
Conventional Metal and Ceramic Braces
Traditional braces have been an effective solution for various orthodontic issues for over a century. When you opt for conventional braces at Rise Dental Studio, you benefit from a comprehensive treatment capability and a long-standing track record of success. The benefits of braces for patients include:
- Consistent pressure for more predictable and precise results: Braces work tirelessly around the clock, applying the necessary force to steadily realign your teeth. This steady and continual treatment method ensures a high level of control over tooth movement to achieve optimal results.
- Customizable treatment with different types of braces: Modern orthodontics offers various types of braces, such as metal and ceramic, letting you customize your treatment to your lifestyle and preferences. Metal braces are strong and durable, resisting breakage, while ceramic braces offer a less noticeable alternative with their tooth-colored brackets, providing an aesthetic appeal without compromising the treatment's effectiveness.
- No compliance issues: If you’re looking at clear aligner systems, your ability to comply with treatment should be part of your consideration. Some patients do better with braces than clear aligner systems simply because braces aren’t removable. You know yourself better than anyone does, and if you think you will struggle to stick with wearing your aligners 20-22 hours per day, then braces might be a better choice for you!
In summary, traditional braces provide a reliable, customizable, and proven treatment for most orthodontic issues. Rise Dental Studio prides itself in providing world-class care and helping you make an informed decision. It's our privilege to guide you through the process, ensuring a treatment that suits your needs and circumstances to achieve a healthier and more confident smile.
Propel Accelerated Orthodontics
Dr. Abrams' dual specialty truly shines in the area of Propel® accelerated orthodontics. His deep knowledge and understanding of gum and bone health give you a leg up on getting the best advantage from Propel. Propel micro-osteoperforation is a procedure that stimulates bone remodeling, helping teeth move into their desired positions more quickly. The Propel procedure involves:
- Carefully examining the movement needed and the involved bone tissue with x-rays: Administering local anesthesia
- Administering local anesthesia: Using the Propel device to create tiny punctures through the gums and into the underlying bone tissue
- Using the Propel device to create tiny punctures through the gums and into the underlying bone tissue:
This clinically controlled inflammation stimulates the bone remodeling process, which is required for orthodontic movement. This movement usually will occur on its own, but Propel can help to move it along and potentially reduce your treatment time.
Orthodontic Retainers
Following orthodontic treatment, it's crucial to maintain your healthy bite and beautiful smile with retainers. Luckily, there have been significant advancements in retainer technology, providing patients with comfortable and discreet options. The three most common retainer types are:
- Essix-style retainers: clear, invisible, removable retainers that are custom-made to fit your teeth
- Hawley retainers: sturdy, adjustable, and removable retainers with a mix of metal and plastic molded to fit your mouth
- Fixed lingual bars: durable and discreet retainers, bonded to the back of your teeth, which you don’t have to worry about remembering to wear
We will custom-make your retainer to fit your unique mouth. Not only do we provide retainers after you finish your orthodontic treatment, but we can also remake them for you if:
- You lose or break your retainer(s)
- Your retainers have worn out
- Restorative or cosmetic dentistry has changed the shape of your teeth or dental arch
- You’d like to have an extra set
Custom Sports Guards
For individuals active in sports, especially contact sports, dental injuries can be a common concern. Custom sports guards provide an added layer of protection to your teeth, cushioning any impact and reducing the risk of chipped or broken teeth, damaged dental work, or oral soft tissue injuries. The benefits of choosing a custom sports guard over a store-bought alternative include:
- Tailored fit: A custom sports guard is specifically designed to fit your mouth, ensuring maximum comfort and allowing for optimal breathing and communication during games.
- Improved protection: Custom sports guards offer a higher level of protection due to their precise fit; this prevents shifting that can occur with store-bought guards and ensures a more effective safeguard against injuries.
- Durability: Custom sports guards are made from high-quality materials that last longer and retain their shape and level of protection far beyond what a store-bought option can offer.
Custom Night Guards
For patients suffering from bruxism (nighttime grinding and clenching), a custom night guard can alleviate the stress on teeth and jaws, preventing further damage and providing relief from symptoms such as headaches and jaw pain. The benefits of choosing a custom night guard over a moldable or other non-custom option include:
- Optimal fit: Custom night guards are made from precise molds of your teeth, providing a perfect fit that maximizes comfort and efficacy, ensuring you get the most effective protection against grinding and clenching.
- Increased durability: Custom night guards are constructed from high-quality materials, maintaining their shape and providing a longer lifespan than over-the-counter alternatives.
- Targeted treatment: Custom night guards can be tailored to your specific grinding and clenching patterns, improving the effectiveness of the guard and ultimately minimizing the potential for dental damage and associated symptoms.
