Invisalign
Want to wear braces without anyone noticing? Want to take your braces off whenever you like? Adults and teens love the convenience and inconspicuous nature of Invisalign clear, acrylic orthodontic aligners.
Dr. Ko-Kim uses 3D imaging technology to design custom treatment plans for Invisalign patients. The detailed files will be sent to a certified lab, where technicians precisely fabricate a set of aligners for you. Dr. Ko-Kim or her assistant will show you how to wear – and remove – your Invisalign aligners.
If you follow treatment recommendations, your orthodontic therapy could be complete in 9 to 18 months, instead of a few years, like with traditional braces. Plan to visit Mt. Holly Dentistry every six weeks or so for progress assessment. Invisalign works well for cosmetic teeth movement and for patients whose teeth shifted out of place after wearing braces earlier in life. Call for your Invisalign consultation today!
6 Month Smiles
Have a need for speed when it comes to orthodontics? Dr. Ko-Kim respects your rush. She offers 6 Month Smiles, an innovative new treatment that can straighten teeth in about six months. Tooth-colored wires and clear brackets make the braces blend with natural tooth coloring, so they’re unobtrusive. You’ll also enjoy the affordability of 6 Month Smiles. In most cases, the treatment costs less than traditional orthodontic therapy. To learn more about 6 Month Smiles, reserve a consultation with Dr. Ko-Kim now!
Traditional Orthodontics for Children, Teens, & Adults
Orthodontics uses wires, brackets, and sometimes bands that exert pressure to move teeth gradually into ideal position. Dr. Ko-Kim uses modern orthodontic techniques, providing efficient and effective treatment for patients of all ages. For instance, she can use clear or ceramic (tooth-colored) brackets to make traditional braces less obvious. Other orthodontic therapies she offers include:
Interceptive orthodontics – Sometimes children need orthodontic treatment to ensure that permanent teeth develop properly. Dr. Ko-Kim offers interceptive orthodontics, which includes diagnosing concerns, placing space maintainers, removable appliances (retainers), and other procedures.
Functional orthodontics – Today, many patients can avoid oral surgery with functional orthodontic therapy. Instead of pulling teeth to create space in the mouth, in some cases, Dr. Ko-Kim uses procedures that guide the jaw into proper position for teeth to fit. This eliminates the need for headgear, reduces treatment time in braces, and can make orthodontic therapy a more comfortable experience for the patient.
