Orthodontist in Saint Peters, MO

The need for orthodontic treatment is visible early. Most of us are subconsciously unaware of the signs in ourselves and in our children. Sinus pressure, crowding primary teeth, mouth breathing and thumb sucking are just a few reasons to talk to your orthodontic specialist at Niehaus Family Dentistry. It’s best to bring children as early as 8 in for a consultation for an orthodontic appliance if they exhibit any of these characteristics. Early stage prevention can eliminate or shorten alignment treatment time. As adults, crooked teeth and a bad bite contribute to gum disease, bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear, headaches and pain. Not to mention underlying confidence issues. Imagine fixing your smile, health issues, and self-esteem in one treatment.

We set out to transform your smile and your confidence. During the consultation, we will determine the best treatment for you. If you are determined a candidate, he will take your impressions, x-rays and measurements of your teeth and mouth. Once he has examined the impressions, you will come in for a pre-treatment consultation to discuss your unique orthodontic plan. 

Invisalign makes your orthodontic treatment your secret. No metal, no wires! The aligning trays gently shift your teeth into place. You can take them out to eat your favorite foods with no diet restrictions. Every two weeks you will get a new set of clear plastic aligning trays that take you a step closer to achieving your dream smile.
