Our top orthodontic treatments at Acre Wood Dental in Temple include:
Clear Aligners
If you're looking to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably, clear aligners at Acre Wood Dental in Temple offer a revolutionary alternative to traditional braces. Instead of metal brackets and wires, a series of custom-made, clear, plastic orthodontic aligners gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. This modern orthodontic solution is popular with adults and teenagers alike due to its virtually invisible appearance and convenient removable design.
Traditional Metal Braces
For our patients seeking a time-tested and highly effective solution for comprehensive tooth straightening, Acre Wood Dental in Temple offers traditional braces. While new orthodontic options have emerged, conventional braces remain a reliable and powerful method for correcting a wide range of alignment issues, from severe crowding and spacing to complex bite problems. Traditional braces consist of high-grade stainless steel or ceramic brackets that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth.
A thin archwire runs through these brackets, and tiny elastic bands (ligatures) hold the wire in place. Periodically, our dentists will adjust the archwire, applying gentle, consistent pressure that gradually shifts your teeth into their ideal positions. This controlled force allows for precise tooth movement, addressing even the most complex orthodontic challenges. Though more noticeable than clear aligners, traditional braces are incredibly durable and effective, often providing predictable and excellent results for patients of all ages. They are a proven method for achieving a straight, healthy, and functional smile, contributing significantly to long-term oral health and aesthetics.
Straighter Smiles at Every Age
At Acre Wood Dental in Temple, we believe it's never too late, or too early, to achieve a healthy, straight smile. That's why we offer comprehensive orthodontic treatment for both adults and teenagers. For our teenage patients, addressing orthodontic concerns during these formative years can be highly effective, as their jaws are still developing, making tooth movement more predictable.
