Orthodontic Specialists Ellicott City, MD
When looking for a orthodontist in Ellicott City, you should look for one who has advanced training and a genuine interest in each individual’s unique situation. We at Level Orthodontics know orthodontic treatment takes time and money so we always provide the most specialized care at every stage of treatment.
Orthodontists go to school for more years after dental school to learn only about moving teeth, aligning jaws and developing faces. Because of this advanced training we can identify and treat complex problems that general dentists would send to us. We know how to do more than just straighten teeth; we can also treat biting problems, jaw growth problems and facial harmony problems full on.
When you see an orthodontist they will use rigorous examination procedures that can find problems that are often missed during regular dental visits. We use state of the art diagnostic techniques including computerized bite analysis, digital radiography and 3D imaging to generate full treatment plans. These thorough evaluations allow us to find problems early on and come up with plans that meet all of each patient’s orthodontic needs.
One of the most important part of professional orthodontic treatment is making a treatment plan. We look at growth patterns, facial dimensions and functional relationships to figure out the best way to handle each case. This thorough planning approach ensures that treatment not only makes you look better but also improves your long term oral health and function.
As materials science and treatment methods have improved so have specialized orthodontic techniques. We stay up to date with the latest changes in bracket systems, wire technology and appliance design so we can offer our patients the best and most comfortable treatment options. This commitment to ongoing education ensures our patients get the latest in orthodontic care.
Orthodontic specialists and other dental professionals often need to work together on complex cases. Surgical Orthodontics means working with oral surgeons to fix serious skeletal problems that can’t be fixed by moving teeth alone. This way of working together allows us to get results that make a big difference in how well patients with the most difficult conditions can use their bodies and how their faces look. Orthodontic professionals have a lot of specialized knowledge to treat patients of all ages. Children need different care than adults since we can help their jaws expand and their teeth come in during important growth stages. Adult patients have specific problems with bone density, gum health and lifestyle issues that need special changes to their treatment.
Orthodontic specialists provide emergency care to make sure urgent problems get the attention of those who know how to use orthodontic appliances. We respond quickly to broken appliances, orthodontic problems caused by injuries and extreme pain that may occur during treatment. This kind of emergency care stops problems that can slow down treatment or make the final results less good.
Long term case management sets orthodontic professionals apart from general practitioners who may only offer a few orthodontic procedures. We monitor our patients throughout their treatment and make exact changes based on how they respond and what they need at the time. This specialist supervision ensures treatment moves forward quickly to the best results.
Orthodontic specialists provide post treatment care that includes extensive retention methods to keep the results of treatment for good. We make custom retention appliances and set up monitoring schedules to prevent relapse and deal with any stability issues that may come up over time.
When looking for an orthodontist in Ellicott City you should look into their credentials, expertise and commitment to putting the patient first. We believe specialized training and a real care for each patient’s health are the keys to successful orthodontic treatment that lasts a lifetime. We make sure every patient feels at ease and confident during their treatment while still providing the most specialized care possible. View our before and after gallery of our patients
