Simplified Procedures
Damon braces are very precise and effective. With this system, we can reduce the need for many of the time-consuming, complicated procedures that are used with traditional braces.

Because Damon braces eliminate the need for elastic ties, fewer adjustments are required. As a result, your appointments can be spaced out further, early in treatment, and will take less time.

Invisalign

I nvisalign is the ultimate in terms of aesthetic treatment options. We use custom molded clear trays to move your teeth to the ideal position. Because they are removable, patient compliance is extremely important with aligners. Invisalign is a terrific option for working professionals or patients seeking a discrete solution to improve their smile, however it is not ideal for every case.

Surgical Orthodontics

S urgical orthodontics is a combined treatment by our doctors and an oral surgeon to correct jaw abnormalities. These issues are determined after reviewing the patient’s X-rays and models.The orthodontist initially levels and aligns the teeth in the jawbone, then the oral surgeon positions the jaws into a more normal position to allow the bite to come together ideally. This procedure results in the improved ability to chew, speak, and breathe, while also delivering tremendous facial aesthetics.

Pair Orthodontics embraces the latest in orthodontic technologies to reduce the overall need for this method, however it can still be required in those with improper bites, as well as those with facial aesthetic concerns. All growth must be complete before jaw surgery can be performed (Jaw growth is usually complete by 16 years with girls and 18 with boys). However it is very common to begin correcting tooth position while a patient is still growing.

Accelerated Orthodontics

P air Orthodontics works with a periodontist or oral surgeon to provide Accelerated Orthodontics, a treatment with quicker results and less time in braces. The technique can be applied to just about every case of orthodontics. The treatment requires a safe, minor surgical procedure that assists the teeth moving quicker and without as much loss of either root or bone support.

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)

T emporary anchorage devices (TADs) are titanium-alloy mini screws affixed to bone temporarily to enhance orthodontic anchorage. Titanium alloys have been used as joint replacements and for dental implants for many years. These alloys are not rejected by the body. Orthodontists often use holding arches, also known as space maintainers, and headgear to control anchorage and minimize the movement of certain teeth while carrying out the

desired movement of other teeth. TADs allow orthodontists to overcome limitations of holding arches and headgear and perform difficult tooth movements predictably. TADs can also provide a point of anchorage for patients with missing teeth.Pair Orthodontics has used TADs to overcome surgical problems without the need for surgery.

Invisalign

A ll the orthodontists are experienced providers of Invisalign. Pair Orthodontics is considered an Invisalign Premier Provider in the Northridge and Calabasas areas.

Invisalign is a series of virtually invisible, clear aligners that efficiently shift your teeth to an ideal placement. Each aligner is custom-made by Pair Orthodontics for each individual patient based on that patient’s anatomy. We will plan out in your ideal smile and customize a series of aligners. When your teeth have reached the desired result, you just pop out the old Invisalign aligner and pop in a new set.

All of this movement is done with out any metal brackets or tightening of wires. Most people won’t even recognize you are correcting your smile while you are straightening your teeth. Invisalign has the benefit of creating a beautiful smile and allows you to remove the device whenever you want. You can floss, brush and eat without the restrictions of having braces or wires in your mouth. Invisalign has the benefit of creating a beautiful smile and allows you to remove the device whenever you want.

We have years of experience providing Invisalign to the Northridge and Calabasas areas and look forward to consulting with you on Invisalign or Invisalign Teen in the near future.
