PHASE ONE / EARLY ORTHODONTIC CARE

We recommend bringing your child in for a consultation at the first recognition of an orthodontic problem or airway concern, but no later than age 7. Children’s developing jaws and tongue posture can impact their airway and facial development, as well as their future smile aesthetics. The younger we catch growth or development issues the better the outcomes. During the initial consultation, Dr. Lauren will assess your child’s jaw growth, facial development, and airway concerns. If no treatment is indicated we will monitor their growth until all of their adult teeth have erupted.

  • Crowded baby teeth
  • Upper or lower jaw too far forward or back

Braces

Braces are celebrated for their unparalleled effectiveness in straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. Dr. Lauren specializes in traditional metal and gold braces at Troy Orthodontics for optimal comfort and treatment efficiency.

Traditional

Traditional braces, composed of high grade stainless steel brackets and arch wires, have stood the test of time as a reliable solution for smile transformations. Despite their classic design, modern technology has enhanced their comfort and efficiency, making them a preferred choice for many patients.

Champagne Gold

Champagne Gold braces offer a sophisticated alternative for those seeking a touch of elegance in their orthodontic treatment. Crafted with precision and style, these braces provide a unique aesthetic while effectively aligning your teeth.

Retainers

Our teeth naturally shift over time as we age. The best way to keep your teeth aligned and your smile looking youthful is to use a retainer. Retainers also act as a night guard and protect your enamel from grinding and wear. Our practice has a range of retainer options to fit your lifestyle and ensure your smile stays stunning. Just remember to pop them in as our orthodontic team advises, and you will Love Your Smile for years to come!

Teeth Whitening

We are excited to offer complimentary teeth whitening to our adult patients going through orthodontic treatment! Most adults are ideal candidates for at-home teeth whitening with our whitening products. We want to make it convenient for you to brighten your smile while at the same time you are straightening your teeth and improving your bite.
