Oread Orthodontics

Oread Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic practice with locations in Lawrence and Topeka, Kansas, committed to delivering exceptional and personalized orthodontic care to patients of all ages. Their core mission revolves around treating every patient and their family with the same care and attention they would give their own, fostering strong relationships throughout the treatment journey. The practice offers a wide array of orthodontic treatments designed to address various dental issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, protruding teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and impacted teeth. Their services include: Traditional Metal Braces: A highly effective and common choice, these braces utilize brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces): Functioning similarly to metal braces, these are made from clear materials, offering a more discreet option. Invisalign®: A popular alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners. Oread Orthodontics is a top Invisalign provider in the region, offering solutions for both adults and teens (Invisalign Teen). Palatal Expanders: Custom-made appliances used to address facial asymmetry caused by narrow upper jaws or crossbites, guiding proper jaw growth. Retainers: Essential for maintaining the results of orthodontic treatment, with lifetime retainer wear highly recommended. Surgical Orthodontics: Offered for adults with complex bite issues or aesthetic concerns that may require surgical intervention. Oread Orthodontics emphasizes a patient-centered philosophy, recognizing that each individual has unique needs. During complimentary consultations, Dr. Brent Wood and his team assess not only orthodontic needs but also tooth shape, lip movement, and facial structure to create customized treatment plans. They utilize state-of-the-art technology, including iTero® intraoral scanning for precise 3D imaging, which allows patients to visualize their estimated end results before beginning treatment. The practice is dedicated to patient education, ensuring individuals are well-informed about their treatment options, fixed versus removable appliances, and proper oral hygiene during orthodontics. They provide resources on topics such as caring for braces, flossing techniques, and handling orthodontic emergencies. Dr. Wood is a specialized orthodontist and an active member of professional organizations like the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association, ensuring a high level of expertise and adherence to best practices. Oread Orthodontics also offers flexible financing options and works with insurance companies to make orthodontic treatment accessible and affordable for families. They strive to create a comfortable and welcoming environment, with a team committed to providing a smooth and hassle-free experience from the initial consultation to the completion of treatment, aiming to boost patients' confidence and improve their quality of life with a beautiful, healthy smile.
