Dr. Chris Murphy offers an array of orthodontic techniques that can help you straighten your teeth or correct bite issues in more discreet, comfortable, and even more artistic ways. Innovations in the field of orthodontics have given way to clear braces, braces that work on the back of your teeth instead of the front, removable teeth aligners, and much more. There are even options such as WildSmiles Braces®, which can display shapes such as hearts and footballs along your child’s brackets and make the orthodontic treatment process more exciting for them. Dr. Murphy can meet with you to discuss your goals and help you decide which option may be right for you.
Please take a look at some of the types of braces we offer, and follow the links for more details on each procedure. Contact Murphy Orthodontics with any questions you may have, or to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Murphy.
Clear Braces
With today’s orthodontic techniques, you don’t have to worry about having a “metal-mouth” to bring your teeth into a better position. Many new and effective clear braces treatments involve methods that are virtually invisible to others, helping you straighten your teeth without everyone having to know.
Pitts 21™ Self-Ligating Braces
The innovative Pitts 21™ self-ligating braces technique can help patients achieve faster and more comfortable orthodontic treatment. This option requires less pressure when moving the teeth, and the brackets themselves are designed to be softer against the lips and other oral tissues.
Damon System Braces
Damon System braces are more cosmetically pleasing than traditional metal braces, and do not need elastic ties to hold wires into the brackets. These braces are known for their efficiency – plus, they often take less time to achieve optimal results.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces have undergone a number of positive changes over the years, with designs that make them more comfortable and less noticeable to others. These tried-and-true orthodontic techniques can work wonders for straightening your teeth and improving your smile.
Invisalign®
One of the most state-of-the-art orthodontic advances to come along in decades, Invisalign® is a system of clear teeth aligners that you can remove for eating, drinking, and daily teeth cleaning. Each aligner is designed to progressively move your teeth into the desired position, and the treatment often takes less time than traditional braces to achieve great results.
Invisalign® Teen
Invisalign® can not only help adults with effective and discreet orthodontic treatment, they can also be used to bring teenagers’ teeth into better alignment. Clear and removable Invisalign® Teen aligners can be helpful for adolescents who may be worried about shouts of “metal-mouth” from their peers.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed on the back-side of the teeth, instead of the front. These braces are not only invisible to others, but they can also be beneficial for those who play contact sports or wind instruments.
