Braces Services in Little Rock, Arkansas

If any of the following are true for you, you may need braces:

• Your teeth that are visibly crooked or crowded
• You have difficulty flossing between and brushing around crooked teeth
• You find yourself frequently biting your tongue or cutting your tongue on your teeth
• You have teeth that don’t close over each other properly when your mouth is at rest

• You feel stress or fatigue on your jawline after chewing food

Invisalign™

Invisalign is a custom fitted aligner that can help with several problems like crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, and gap teeth. It's a removable, comfortable, and inconspicuous orthodontic solution that has seen massive popularity in recent years, especially among adults and older teens. Invisalign treatment takes a similar approach to a retainer in straightening teeth and correcting misalignments through removable plastic trays that you wear over your teeth.

This transparent treatment option possesses two primary advantages: first, Invisalign is almost invisible while wearing; and second, it allows for easy tooth and gum care since you can take the entire appliance off for cleaning. When it comes time to brush and floss, simply slip your Invisalign aligners off and continue your normal cleaning routine.

Retainer & Mouthguard Services in Little Rock, Arkansas

Near the end of your braces, getting night-time retainers or mouthguards will keep that smile great after your braces are taken off.

Why Use a Mouthguard?

Mouthguards cover your teeth to protect teeth and gums. Custom-fitted mouthguards fit and protect your teeth better than over-the-counter mouthguards. Night guards can ease bruxism (teeth grinding). Kids and adults should wear mouthguards during contact sports or activities like biking.

Do You Need Retainers?

If you’ve had braces, then yes! Retainers maintain the adjustments made to your bite and teeth alignment after braces. Not wearing any maintenance wear will allow your teeth to shift and cause a need for orthodontic care again.
