At Acre Wood Dental in Waco, we believe everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. If you're looking to achieve a straighter, healthier smile, orthodontics could be the perfect solution for you. Our team offers comprehensive orthodontic treatment, including both traditional braces and modern clear aligners, to help each patient reach their smile goals.
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Beyond just aesthetics, properly aligned teeth contribute to better oral health, easier oral hygiene, and optimal chewing function. Whether you're dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites, our skilled team at Acre Wood Dental can assess your needs and recommend the most effective treatment plan for your goals. Our top orthodontic treatments in Waco, TX include:
Clear Aligners
For many of our patients, clear aligners offer a highly effective and discreet way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile. These innovative aligners have become incredibly popular due to their numerous benefits, including:
- Nearly invisible aligners: Made from clear, medical-grade plastic, clear aligners are virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
- Comfortable treatment: Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners have no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth. Their smooth surface provides a comfortable fit.
- Removable for convenience: Clear aligners are designed to be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
- Improved oral hygiene: The ability to remove your aligners makes it much easier to brush and floss your teeth thoroughly, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and cavities often associated with fixed orthodontic appliances.
- Predictable results: Advanced digital technology is used to plan your entire treatment journey, allowing you to see a virtual preview of your future smile before you even begin.
When worn as directed, clear aligners boast a high success rate in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. Our clear aligner treatment involves a series of custom-made aligners, each designed to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. You'll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every one to two weeks, as instructed by your dentist.
Traditional Braces
While clear aligners are an excellent option for many, traditional braces remain a highly effective and reliable solution for more complex orthodontic cases or for our patients who prefer a fixed appliance. Modern braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than those of the past.
- Highly Effective: Braces are incredibly effective at correcting severe bite issues and significant tooth misalignments.
- Fixed Appliance: Once bonded to your teeth, braces are constantly working to move your teeth, providing continuous pressure for consistent results.
- Durable: Made from high-quality materials, braces are designed to withstand the rigors of daily wear.
Our team will discuss the different types of braces available, including metal and clear options, and help you determine the best choice for your individual needs and lifestyle.
