A confident smile can make a powerful first impression—and at Wichita Family Dental, we believe everyone deserves to feel proud of theirs. Whether you’re a parent exploring options for your child or an adult finally ready to straighten your teeth, we offer orthodontic treatments tailored to every age and lifestyle. From traditional braces to Invisalign®, our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Why Consider Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about aesthetics. Crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth can lead to:
- Difficulty cleaning teeth properly
- Increased risk of cavities or gum disease
- Jaw pain or TMJ issues
- Uneven tooth wear
- Speech problems or chewing difficulties
Correcting these issues with braces or clear aligners can significantly improve your oral health and overall well-being.
Traditional Braces: Time-Tested and Highly Effective
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective options for treating moderate to severe orthodontic concerns. At Wichita Family Dental, we use advanced techniques and materials to ensure braces are more comfortable and discreet than ever before.
Benefits of Traditional Braces:
- Ideal for complex alignment or bite issues
- Fixed in place—no need to worry about removing or losing them
- Consistent and predictable results
- Suitable for children, teens, and adults
Braces are especially effective for younger patients whose jaws and teeth are still developing, but they’re also a great option for adults looking for long-term results.
Invisalign®: A Clear Alternative for a Straighter Smile
For patients looking for a more discreet and flexible treatment option, Invisalign® is a popular choice. These custom-made, clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into place without the brackets and wires of traditional braces.
Why Invisalign® Is a Patient Favorite:
- Nearly invisible when worn
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Fewer in-office visits than traditional braces
- Often more comfortable, with no metal to irritate the mouth
Invisalign® is especially popular among adults and older teens who want to maintain a natural look during treatment. It’s also an excellent solution for people with busy schedules who appreciate the flexibility.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Choosing between braces and Invisalign® depends on your unique dental needs, lifestyle, and preferences. At Wichita Family Dental, we offer personalized consultations to evaluate your smile and determine the best path forward.
During your consultation, we’ll consider factors such as:
- The complexity of your alignment or bite issue
- Your age and lifestyle
- Your long-term smile goals
- Budget and insurance coverage
