At Windermere Orthodontics we want to give patients of all ages in Cumming and surrounding areas the best orthodontic care possible. Choosing the right orthodontist is key and we want to help you understand what makes us different and how we can help you or your family get a healthier, more beautiful smile.
An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in finding, preventing and fixing problems with the way teeth and jaws are aligned. General dentists take care of your overall oral health but orthodontists have extra years of training in moving teeth and fixing bite problems. Because of our specialized training and experience we can create treatment plans specific to each patient. We can help with crooked teeth, gaps, overcrowding or bite problems because we have the skills and resources to do so.
Helping families in Cumming get smiles they can be proud of is one of the best parts of our job. We see patients of all ages, from babies to adults and we know each age group has its own wants and worries. Early Treatment can make a big difference in the long term oral health of younger patients. When the first permanent molars come in we can check how the jaw is growing and recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation around age 7. Early intervention can help growth, make room for new teeth and sometimes stop problems from getting worse later on. Even if full treatment isn’t needed right away getting to know an orthodontist early lets us keep an eye on progress and step in when needed. For teens, getting braces is often a key part of building confidence at a time when they need it most. Most of the permanent teeth have come in by this point and the jaw is still growing so this is the best time for braces or aligners. This is the best opportunity to fix bite and alignment problems. We work closely with the teens we treat and their families to create treatment plans that fit their lives and goals. We know teens may be worried about how braces will look or how treatment will impact their activities. We can help with that by offering a range of options including traditional braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners.
Folks also get a lot out of orthodontic care and we’re seeing more and more folks coming to our Cumming office who are willing to invest in their smile. Many of our adult patients say they wish they had done it sooner so it’s never too late for Adult Treatment. Orthodontic treatment can help if you’ve always had crooked teeth or if your teeth have moved over time. Adults can straighten their teeth without feeling self conscious using transparent aligners and ceramic braces which are both discreet solutions. Orthodontic treatment not only makes your teeth look better but it also makes your mouth healthier by making it easier to clean your teeth and reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease and jaw pain.
At Windermere Orthodontics we believe every patient should get care tailored to their needs. When you come in for your first visit we’ll take the time to get to know you, hear what you have to say and look at your teeth and jaw. We use the latest technology to make sure our treatment plans are as accurate as possible and the results are the best they can be. We’ll be with you every step of the way during your treatment, supporting you, answering your questions and making changes as needed.
We also know orthodontic treatment costs money and we want to make it affordable for families. We can help you get the most out of your insurance by working with you to set up payment plans. We want to remove financial barriers so everyone who needs orthodontic care can get it. It’s important to keep up your results after treatment is complete. Following the instructions for wearing Retainers will help keep your teeth in their new positions and protect the progress you’ve made. We’ll make you a custom retainer and give you specific instructions on how to care for it and how often to wear it.
