Orthodontics

Drs Rapoport and Lasry offer comprehensive or limited orthodontics based on your desires and needs. If you would like to improve the look of your smile, we would be happy to consult with you to help you decide if orthodontic treatment can help you achieve this goal.

Braces have long been the first choice in orthodontics. We offer both metal and white braces. We use several braces systems including the Damon™ system, which is known for producing beautiful wide smiles.

Invisalign® (www.invisalign.com) Orthodontics can straighten teeth without braces or metal. It uses a series of custom made clear aligners to gradually position the teeth. Beautiful results are seen for simple and complex cases alike.

From an early age it is important to monitor the shedding of your child’s primary teeth and the eruption of the adult teeth. We can usually detect from the very first visit if certain spacing or bite problems are on the horizon. By closely monitoring your child’s dental development, we can intervene at the right moment to help improve orthodontic outcomes or prevent certain issues from worsening and necessitating more complex treatment later.

Retention is a key phase of any orthodontic tooth movement, no matter how complex or simple the tooth movement. Various retainer styles can be designed to both maintain and to further improve orthodontic results.

We welcome children for early diagnosis and detection of orthodontic issues such as crowding, congenitally missing teeth, ectopically erupting (impacted) teeth, skeletal discrepancies etc. With the use of space maintainers and growth modulating appliances, we can monitor your child’s dental development and help guide them towards a less complex future orthodontic treatment.

Both children and adults alike can benefit from these treatment modalities. It is never too late to achieve the smile that you always dreamed of!
