Orthodontics and Invisalign
There are many advantages to well-aligned teeth; including better oral hygiene and a more fabulous smile.
Fixed orthodontic braces
A metal or ceramic dental base is affixed to each tooth, and a dental wire is inserted through each base. The dentist is able to gradually train the teeth into proper alignment by regularly adjusting the wire.
INVISALIGN
Invisalign® – Invisalign® is a comfortable and convenient alternative to braces. It does not interfere with eating because of its removable nature, but not all patients are candidates for Invisalign®.
Diefenbacher Sieber Donovan Dental is a certified provider of Invisalign®.

RETAINERS
When braces are removed, the “retention” phase begins for most individuals and a retainer is used to be sure that the teeth do not regress to their previous position. A retainer is a fixed or removable dental appliance which has been custom-made by the dentist to fit the teeth.
Retainers are worn for varying amounts of time, depending on the type of orthodontic treatment and the age of the patient. Perseverance and commitment are required.
If you have any questions or concerns about your retainers, please contact our office.
