Orthodontics at Ebenezer House

Our Philosophy --- In the vast majority of cases, we do not support the extraction of healthy teeth to relieve dental crowding. Extractions do have their place, particularly in adults, but are vastly overused by most orthodontists in this country. Currently, 80% of orthodontics is extraction based whilst only 30% in the USA.

Instead we straighten teeth by developing or growing the dental arches until they are big enough to accommodate the teeth in a proper relation to one another. With older patients we then need to used fixed braces to tweak the teeth within the space created. If we treat very early ( before the second teeth come through) we are less likely to need this stage.

Fixed appliance therapy is currently carried out with the state of the art Delta Force system. This allows us to give a beautiful end result in half the time of conventional fixed systems. Adults and older children can also benefit from new technology like ALF appliances which also drastically reduce treatment times.

We do not currently use Invisalign but I will be adding this treatment to our options later in 2007. It will allow the option of invisible case finishing instead of the more obvious Delta system.

If you wish a consult or need more information, please explore the links and feel free to call or e-mail with any questions you might have.

If you are a colleague and would like to discuss how this treatment might benefit your patients you are welcome to call me anytime.
