Our experienced dentists and dental team at Every Smile focus on providing you with all of the dental treatments and services you need to keep your smile happy, healthy, and beautiful. We provide orthodontics in Chandler, Arizona, to help us reach this goal.

Orthodontics is the branch of dental care dedicated to correcting irregularities in the teeth and jaw. This includes correcting teeth that are misaligned, crowded, or gapped. Orthodontic care can also include correcting the bite, or how the teeth and jaws fit together. Through orthodontic treatment, we can correct an overbite, open bite, crossbite, or underbite.

Dr. Lee and Dr. Hahn are pleased to offer several types of orthodontic treatment to accommodate your personal needs and desires. We offer traditional metal braces, as well as Invisalign® clear braces. During a personalized orthodontic consultation with our dental team, we will help you choose the orthodontic treatment that best suits your goals and preferences. This consultation will also include a discussion of the estimated length of orthodontic treatment and the costs and financing options we offer.

Invisalign® treatment replaces traditional metal brackets and wire braces with clear acrylic aligners that gently guide teeth into their correct position.

Our doctors treat many adult patients with Invisalign®, including some who wore traditional braces growing up. Many of these patients have seen their teeth move back out of alignment over the years. Most of our adult patients choose Invisalign® products because they allow them to correct their alignment without affecting their professional appearance.

The makers of Invisalign® have developed a special treatment program for our teen patients. The program, called Invisalign® Teen, offers all of the benefits included in the adult plan, with a few unique tweaks that help keep your child on track with her treatment plan.

Each aligner has a blue dot that fades as your child wears it. If the blue dot remains when your teen finishes with that aligner, you will know she has not stayed compliant with her treatment plan.

The Invisalign® Teen manufacturers understand that with their busy lives, teenagers often forget things. For this reason, they include six bonus aligners with the program for free. This means that if your child misplaces an aligner, you can just call our office, and we will order a replacement free of charge.

Bracket and wire braces are a good option for misalignment issues including extremely complicated alignment problems.

Depending on the severity of the misalignment, most patients wear traditional braces for about two years. Patients with severe misalignment issues or problems with malocclusion may need to wear the braces longer.

Bracket and wire braces work around the clock every day. They apply a consistent pressure that keeps the teeth moving into their correct position. With technological advances, they have become the most precise option available for correcting alignment.

Perhaps the greatest advantage to traditional braces is their cost. Bracket and wire braces cost less than clear aligners, and insurance will typically cover more of the cost.

Patients who suffer from severe malocclusion, a problem with the way the upper and lower teeth fit together such as an overbite or underbite, benefit greatly from traditional braces. They provide the best option for patients with protruding or rotated teeth. They can also repair teeth that have become crooked due to overcrowding, which aligners cannot fix.

Many patients worry about having a mouth full of silver. The manufacturers understand this, and have worked to make braces more stylish. Kids can now choose brackets and bands in multiple colors. Adults who worry about their professional appearance can look into clear brackets and tooth colored wires to help their braces blend in with their natural teeth.
