We believe that a straight, well-aligned smile can significantly boost confidence and overall dental health.

Comprehensive Orthodontic Care for Adults and Children.

The first step to a beautiful smile is a thorough examination. We will carefully assess your or your child’s mouth, teeth, and jaw structure, using x-rays and teeth impressions to accurately diagnose and plan the treatment. Whether you’re an adult looking to improve your smile or seeking treatment for your child, our team at Ivy Lane Dental is here to provide expert, personalized care.

COMMON ORTHODONTIC CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Many people face orthodontic issues, and at Ivy Lane Dentistry, we are equipped to address a variety of these concerns, including:

Overbite: When upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth.
Underbite: Characterized by lower teeth extending beyond upper teeth.
Crowding: Occurs when there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all the teeth, leading to misalignment.
Crossbite: Misalignment where upper teeth are closer to the cheek or tongue than the opposing lower teeth.
Open Bite: Often a result of thumb-sucking, where upper and lower teeth don’t make contact when biting down.
Spacing: Gaps between teeth that can affect the aesthetics of your smile.

Early Care and Monitoring

Identifying and addressing your child’s bite irregularities at an early stage can greatly simplify the correction process. Early intervention often leads to more effective results, potentially reducing the complexity and duration of treatment. This not only means your child may spend less time in braces but also translates to lower orthodontic expenses for you. At Ivy Lane Dentistry, we’re committed to providing timely and efficient care to ensure the best outcomes for your child’s smile.

Traditional Braces

At Ivy Lane Dentistry, we offer traditional braces made from stainless steel brackets and archwires, designed to gently guide your teeth into the correct alignment. They’re not just effective; they can also be personalized! With a variety of colored rubber bands available, children of all ages can add a splash of color and uniqueness to their smiles. Each adjustment appointment is an opportunity to switch up the colors, keeping the journey to a perfect smile both exciting and personalized.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® presents a fantastic, contemporary alternative to traditional braces at Ivy Lane Dentistry. This innovative method allows you to straighten your teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires. Instead, we utilize custom-made plastic trays, known as aligners, which gently guide your teeth into their proper positions. Each aligner is specifically tailored to fit your mouth perfectly, ensuring comfort and minimizing the irritation often associated with conventional braces.

Braces for Teens

Braces today are far from the daunting experience many teens might expect. At Ivy Lane Dentistry, we’ve embraced the latest advancements in technology, offering an array of modern braces that are faster, more comfortable, and highly effective. With various colors, styles, and materials available, teens have the opportunity to personalize their braces, allowing them to express their unique personality while achieving a beautiful smile.
