Howell Orthodontics offers a wide array of treatment options to cater to diverse patient needs and preferences. These include: Traditional Metal Braces: High-grade stainless steel braces, updated for comfort and efficiency, with options for colored elastics. Clear (Ceramic) Braces: A more aesthetic alternative to metal braces, made from clear materials, often preferred by older teenagers and adults. Clear Aligners: Utilizing clear, removable acrylic trays to straighten teeth, including popular national brands like Invisalign and their custom, in-house fabricated "HowAligners." These offer a discreet and convenient treatment experience. Self-Ligating Braces: Similar to traditional braces but using a specialized clip instead of elastics, potentially leading to fewer appointments and less friction. Dentofacial Orthopedics: Specializing in guiding facial growth and development, particularly in childhood, often involving specialized appliances in conjunction with braces. Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery): For more severe cases involving misaligned jaws or bad bites that cannot be fully corrected with orthodontics alone. This involves collaboration with oral and maxillofacial surgeons. TMJ/TMD Treatments: Addressing issues related to temporomandibular joint disorders, which can cause jaw pain, headaches, and other discomforts. Retainers: Essential post-treatment appliances to maintain the achieved orthodontic results. Teeth Whitening: Offered to enhance the aesthetic outcome of orthodontic treatment. The clinic's philosophy extends beyond just improving smiles, also focusing on long-term oral health. Patients frequently praise Howell Orthodontics for its friendly and professional staff, clear communication regarding treatment plans, and the comfortable atmosphere. They are committed to making the orthodontic journey as stress-free as possible, providing thorough explanations and support from the initial consultation through to the completion of treatment.
