Invisalign

Looking for a more discreet orthodontic solution? Invisalign might be the perfect way for you to make a beautiful healthy smile a reality. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. So you can be confident that people will see your smile and not your orthodontic treatment. Invisalign aligners are made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to treat with Invisalign. Invisalign represents a major advancement in orthodontics, making treatment more appealing to anyone who wants the benefits of a great smile. And it's easy to get started with Invisalign. At Beattie Orthodontics, we take a digital scan of your teeth, capturing in great detail your dental anatomy. This scan is painless and fast. We send that along with your photographs and your treatment plan to the manufacturers of Invisalign who create your virtual computerized treatment. That's when a series of aligners is created and shipped to our office. Each set of aligners is then worn 22 hours a day, for 1-2 weeks, according to Dr. Beatties' instructions, before moving to the next set in the series. The aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. They're comfortable to wear, and you'll love how they feel and how your teeth look when we're done.

Invisalign for Teens

Invisalign® is a great alternative to braces for teens who would prefer to straighten their smile without braces. With Invisalign, your teen can play in the school band and even play sports without changing their schedule or their approach. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that are virtually invisible. So teens can concentrate on all the challenges that come with that stage of life without worrying about their smiles. Invisalign aligners are made with 3-D computer imaging technology and have revolutionized the way we treat teeth. Each aligner has the perfect amount of movement programmed in. Teens wear their aligners 24/7, taking them out only to eat, brush and floss. It's easy to get started with Invisalign. At Beattie Orthodontics, we take a digital scan of your teeth, capturing (in great detail) your dental anatomy. This scan is painless and fast. Dr. Beattie uses the scan to determine your prescription and then works with Invisalign to create your virtual computerized treatment. Once approved by Dr. Beattie, the virtual treatment plan is used to create all the aligners needed to improve the smile.

The Damon System Braces-Metal and Clear Options

The Damon System of Braces is an amazing way for us to achieve great orthodontic results. The Damon System involves the use of “tie-less” or self-ligating braces with low force archwires to create highly efficient tooth movement. Our practice has been using the Damon System since October 1996, and has treated thousands of cases with outstanding results. Some of the advantages of the Damon System include:

• fewer appointments
• reduced treatment times
• improved hygiene due to the lack of elastic ties that can trap plaque and bacteria
• reduced extraction of permanent teeth

We also believe using lighter forces with the Damon System reduces the discomfort associated with tooth movement as well as some unwanted tooth movements associated with conventional braces. Damon System braces are available in metal or clear so there is a choice to suit your look and style.
