Braces

For the correction of misaligned teeth, braces continue to be the best solution out there. Today, there are numerous options available, though conventional braces are still the most frequently used method. At our practice, we offer Self-Ligating Braces as well. These braces decrease the length of time of treatment and require fewer visits to our office. They do not depend upon the use of ligatures such as rubber bands, elastic or metal ties, making them more comfortable for the patient. Read More...


Invisalign

Invisalign is undoubtedly one of the most popular choices for braces that we see due to the fact that they are virtually invisible to others and are also removable. This allows for much less disruption in the life of the braces wearer. The Invisalign system is comprised of custom-made aligners that move teeth steadily but with less pressure than other methods. Since they are removable, you can live your life as normal, eating, brushing and flossing in your typical routine. The custom aligners need to be worn daily for approximately twenty hours and be switched out to a new set about every two weeks. Our orthodontists at Edina are fully qualified in the Invisalign method and will provide you with that brilliant, healthy smile you’ve always wanted with less fuss. Read More...

TAD’s

These devices, which are created from a titanium alloy, are actually screws or pins temporarily placed into your mouth. Because they are so small and smooth, others will not be able to notice them. At our practice in Edina, our trained orthodontists can place TAD’s for patients effectively and efficiently. Read More...
