Your Rochester Orthodontist
Every day I come to the office knowing I will be working to make positive changes in the lives of my patients. When a person feels comfortable in their appearance, they have stronger self-esteem and more confidence. I love watching a patient’s personality develop and blossom as they move through treatment: as they see their teeth straighten and their new smile emerge, they start to open up and become more outgoing. Being part of this process is an honor.
My patients keep me young. No matter whether I am caring for a child, adolescent, or adult, they bring so much energy to their appointments! They want to show us how well they’ve done with their home care, and they want to share their latest news, too. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and I love every minute of it.
I also treasure the conversations I have with each person. I always come away from those exchanges with some new tidbit of information, or a better understanding of the world or myself. My patients may not realize it, but I look forward to seeing each of them!
Rochester Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They're made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in if you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Rochester braces are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Because they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments might, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced. Braces don't need some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, making Rochester braces a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Rochester Invisalign
Invisalign is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the Rochester Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. In order to keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you'll generally need to switch your invisible trays out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series. The Invisalign system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Invisalign is at its most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, Invisalign may not be a good option. A free consultation with Gleason Orthodontics will allow us to determine your Invisalign eligibility.
