Types of Treatment
Dental technology is improving all the time and Dr. Yu and the team at Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics are dedicated to providing you with the most up-to-date treatment options available.
Straightening Your Smile
Dr. Yu can successfully treat many dental issues for your child or yourself.
By pairing state-of-the-art technology with our understanding of the movement and growth of the teeth and jaws, Dr. Yu can successfully treat many dental issues, like:
Metal Braces & More
Most patients we treat at Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics choose our Damon metal braces to straighten their teeth.
Metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment, but you have other options, too.
After your first free consultation, Dr. Yu will talk to you about which treatment would be right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
Fixed vs. Removable Appliances
At Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics, we believe you should be educated when it comes to your treatment.
It’s important to understand the difference between fixed and removable appliances. Fixed appliances, like braces, are attached to your teeth and aren’t taken off until you complete your treatment.
Removable appliances, like Invisalign’s aligner system, are worn about 20-22 hours a day but can be taken off easily.
Besides the obvious differences, Dr. Yu uses Invisalign aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems.
At Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics, we generally use fixed appliances for comprehensive and serious and treatment.
