Adult Orthodontics: Recognizing that it's never too late for a healthy, confident smile, Crawford Orthodontic Care offers various adult treatment options to improve personal appearance and address issues like gum and bone loss, tooth decay, and jaw joint pain. Habit Appliances: For children with habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, custom appliances are used to correct these behaviors and prevent long-term oral health problems. Retention/Retainers: Post-treatment, custom retainers are provided to maintain the newly achieved alignment and ensure lasting results. Teeth Whitening: As a cosmetic enhancement, teeth whitening services are offered to brighten smiles and address discoloration. The practice is committed to utilizing state-of-the-art technology to enhance patient experience and treatment outcomes. This includes tools like Anatomage/Osteoid for custom treatment simulations, i-CAT FLX Cone Beam 3D Imaging for precise diagnoses, SprintRay 3D printers for in-house appliance creation, and Itero Element Intraoral Scanners to minimize the need for traditional impressions.
