Treatments

All Ages

At Mia Orthodontics, we understand that orthodontic needs vary with different stages of life.

Our pediatric orthodontic treatments are all about guiding the growth and development of young jaws and teeth to set the stage for a healthy and beautiful smile. We create a fun, engaging environment for our littlest patients, making their visits enjoyable and informative. By monitoring the development of permanent teeth and addressing bite issues early, we ensure the best possible start for your child's oral health.

The teenage years are the prime time for orthodontic treatment, and at Mia Orthodontics, we're dedicated to making this process as smooth as possible. Understanding the unique needs of teens, we offer everything from traditional braces to discreet alternatives like clear aligners. We aim to enhance their confidence with a perfect smile, ensuring comfort and effectiveness throughout their orthodontic journey.

Orthodontics for adults is not just about aesthetics—it's also about improving oral health and functionality. We recognize that adults look for discreet and efficient treatment options that won't disrupt their busy lives. That's why we offer a range of treatments tailored to suit different lifestyles and professional images, whether you're looking to correct long-standing alignment issues or fine-tune previous treatments. Our adult orthodontics are designed to integrate seamlessly into your life.

Braces

Discover our range of braces, designed to cater to different needs and lifestyles, featuring the latest in orthodontic technology for precision and comfort.

Our custom braces are effective and personalized, correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. Using digital treatment planning, similar to Invisalign, your orthodontist creates a plan from start to finish. These braces feature customized wires or brackets tailored just for you, without the need for weekly changes. With advanced technology like wire bending robots and 3D printers, we make your treatment quick and efficient. Perfect for patients of all ages.

For those seeking a less noticeable alternative to metal braces, our clear ceramic braces offer the perfect solution. These braces blend in with the color of your teeth, providing discretion while effectively aligning your smile. The brackets are designed using advanced ceramic materials that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Braces Behind the Teeth

Behind-the-teeth (lingual) braces offer an excellent alternative for those who seek effective orthodontic treatment without visible brackets and wires. Positioned behind the teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view, making them a preferred choice for adults and teens who are conscious about the appearance of traditional braces during social interactions or professional commitments.

Despite being invisible, lingual braces are highly effective in correcting many dental misalignments and bite issues. They are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your teeth, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency. This customization allows for precise control over tooth movement, leading to excellent results in both aesthetics and functionality.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners provide a virtually invisible solution to straightening your teeth without the need for traditional braces. These custom-made, removable trays are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, gently guiding them into their ideal position over time. This innovative treatment not only allows for a more aesthetic approach to orthodontics but also offers the flexibility to remove the aligners during meals, brushing, or special occasions.

In addition to our customized solutions, we also offer Direct Printed Same Day Clear Aligners. This state-of-the-art service means you can receive your aligners on the same day as your consultation, dramatically reducing wait times and enhancing your treatment convenience. Each aligner is meticulously crafted to ensure precise, effective tooth movement and a perfect fit.

Hybrid Treatments

At Mia Orthodontics, we combine various methods to provide you with the best orthodontic care. This may involve using braces and clear aligners together, resulting in a treatment that is both faster and more comfortable. This innovative approach integrates the best aspects of different treatment technologies, such as the precise control of traditional braces with the discretion of clear aligners. Combining these methods can significantly enhance treatment effectiveness and align with your lifestyle preferences.

For instance, it's not uncommon for us to apply traditional braces on the lower teeth, which might need more adjustment, while using clear aligners on the upper teeth to keep them less visible. This strategy allows us to correct your teeth comprehensively, balancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Our hybrid treatments are not only practical but also designed to be cost-efficient and time-saving. They adjust to your daily routine, providing a flexible and practical solution for achieving an excellent smile without unnecessarily breaking the bank or extending your treatment time.

Retainers

Retainers are crucial to maintaining the beautiful results of your orthodontic treatment. They are not just a temporary measure but a long-term investment in your smile. After your teeth have been carefully moved into their ideal positions, retainers help ensure they stay that way, providing you with a lasting, confident smile.

At Mia Orthodontics, we provide customized retainers designed to be comfortable and practical. They can be worn full-time immediately after braces are removed or part-time as directed by our specialists.

Orthognathic Surgery

Orthognathic or corrective jaw surgery addresses severe jaw misalignments that braces alone cannot fix. This surgery enhances facial aesthetics and improves functions like chewing and speaking. At Mia Orthodontics, we use advanced imaging to plan precisely and collaborate closely with surgeons to ensure optimal outcomes.

We oversee your recovery post-surgery and make necessary orthodontic adjustments to perfect your smile. Our team guides you through every step, ensuring a smooth journey from initial consultation to full recovery, focusing on your health and satisfaction.

Mini-Implant Assisted Orthodontics

Mini-Implant Assisted (MIA) Orthodontics is an advanced method that improves traditional orthodontic treatments by using tiny screws called mini-implants. These screws act as anchors to move teeth more precisely and effectively to their correct positions. This technique helps us handle complex tooth alignment issues easily. The MIA method is less invasive, which means it's simpler and less painful, and it also delivers faster results.

Using these mini-implants, we can make accurate adjustments to teeth that would be hard to achieve with braces alone. This is especially useful for patients who need major changes to their teeth alignment but want to avoid surgery. It's a powerful way to get significant orthodontic improvements without the need for more invasive procedures.

Orthodontics for Optimal Sleep and Breathing

Increasing evidence highlights the critical relationship between orthodontics, airway health, sleep quality, and overall well-being. At Mia Orthodontics, we are aware of this essential link and are dedicated to improving our patients' lives through comprehensive orthodontic care. We routinely screen patients of all ages for signs of sleep-related breathing issues like sleep apnea, using detailed questionnaires and checklists to detect problems early. This allows us to take proactive steps to improve your health and sleep quality.

Our approach to managing sleep-related breathing issues emphasizes teamwork and collaboration with various healthcare professionals. We work closely with sleep physicians, ENT specialists, dentists, dental specialists, oral surgeons, myofunctional therapists, chiropractors, and others to provide comprehensive, coordinated care tailored to each patient's unique needs. We are aware of how our orthodontic treatments can affect airway structures. Our goal extends beyond straightening teeth; we aim to enhance airway function to improve sleep. Through meticulous planning and execution of treatments, we help open up the airway, easing breathing issues and boosting sleep quality.

Jaw Joint Pain Relief

At Mia Orthodontics, we take a comprehensive, team-based approach to diagnosing and treating Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), which affect the jaw joints and muscles controlling jaw movement. We collaborate with orofacial pain specialists, dental specialists, physical therapists, and when needed, maxillofacial surgeons to ensure our patients receive the best care possible. Our treatment plans are based on the latest research and are designed to alleviate TMD pain and issues. We use various non-invasive therapies, such as custom-made occlusal splints, to reduce stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). By addressing both symptoms and underlying causes, we aim to restore function and improve the overall quality of life for our patients.

Cosmetic Procedures

Enhance your smile with our range of cosmetic dental procedures tailored to improve both aesthetics and function.

ooth reshaping, also known as enameloplasty or hard tissue contouring, involves sculpting the enamel to perfect the appearance of your teeth. At Mia Orthodontics, we use this precise procedure to correct minor imperfections such as uneven tooth edges and small chips, enhancing your smile's overall harmony and balance.

Our soft tissue contouring process (also known as gingivectomy or gingivoplasty) uses advanced laser technology to sculpt the gum line, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. This minimally invasive technique improves the proportion of gum-to-teeth visibility, which is ideal for patients with gummy smiles or uneven gum contours.

Brighten your smile with our professional teeth whitening services. Designed to safely and effectively lift stains and discoloration, our treatments can rejuvenate your smile, giving you a more youthful and radiant appearance. We offer both in-office and take-home options to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

White spot lesions can mar an otherwise perfect smile. At Mia Orthodontics, we use a non-invasive method called micro-abrasive resin infiltration with the ICON resin kit from DMG to minimize these blemishes. This advanced technique treats demineralization of the enamel, restoring the aesthetics of your teeth and ensuring a uniform, healthy-looking smile

Faster Treatments

Experience faster smile transformations with our accelerated orthodontics at Mia Orthodontics. We use OrthoPulse, a cutting-edge light therapy that speeds up tooth movement, significantly reducing treatment times for our patients. This non-invasive technique is perfect for those eager to see quick results.

Additionally, we collaborate with periodontists to offer Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT), which combines minor surgery with orthodontics to accelerate tooth alignment. This is especially effective for adults with denser bone structures, allowing for quicker adjustments and improved dental health.
