Fredal Orthodontics specializes in a range of advanced orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. Their services encompass: Traditional Braces: While not explicitly detailed on their orthodontic-specific site, as an orthodontic practice, traditional braces are a fundamental offering for complex cases. Invisalign®: They are a prominent provider of Invisalign clear aligners, offering a discreet and comfortable option for teeth straightening. Complimentary Invisalign consultations are available. Damon Braces: Fredal Orthodontics utilizes Damon Braces, which are self-ligating braces known for potentially faster treatment times and fewer appointments. Dentofacial Orthopedics: This specialty focuses on correcting facial and jaw bone growth imbalances, addressing issues like underbites, overbites, and crossbites, often best treated during childhood when bones are still developing. Airway Orthodontics: The clinic emphasizes evaluating and addressing airway dysfunction, particularly in children under 12, using i-CAT CBCT scans (3D x-rays) to identify symptoms related to sleep apnea, snoring, and mouth breathing, aiming to improve overall health and sleep patterns. Advanced Technology: Fredal Orthodontics is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning. This includes: i-CAT CBCT (3D X-ray): Used for comprehensive evaluation of the jaw and airway. iTero Digital Impressions: This eliminates the need for traditional, messy putty impressions, providing a more comfortable and faster experience for patients while generating highly accurate 3D models of teeth and gums. Waterlase Laser Dentistry: While primarily associated with general dentistry services offered by the broader "Fredal Family Dentistry," the focus for "Fredal Orthodontics" is specifically on orthodontic care.
