A Smile Solution for Every Age
At Durham Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too early or too late to get a wonderful smile. From early childhood evaluations to teen braces and adult orthodontic care, we offer personalized treatment plans to fit every stage of life.
Setting the Foundation for Lifelong Smiles
You want the best for your kids. So does Dr. Durham. Braces for kids build confidence and oral health for their future. At Durham Orthodontics, we recommend bringing your child in for an evaluation around age seven.
Why seven? For starters, that’s the age recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists. At seven, Dr. Durham can monitor the development of their teeth and jaw early on.
Early Treatment for Big Benefits
When orthodontic issues are identified early, treatment can often be simpler, faster, and more effective.
Correcting problems like crowding or spacing early can help avoid future complications, such as speech issues, TMJ pain, or even more invasive treatments later on.
Starting early also sets your child up for better oral hygiene and overall health as they grow.
Your Child’s First Visit
During your child’s initial appointment, we’ll take X-rays and photos to assess how their teeth and jaw are developing.
Dr. Durham will then complete a gentle exam to spot any potential alignment or spacing issues. We aim to make this experience as comfortable and fun as possible, so your child feels confident and prepared.
Confident Smiles for Teens
The teen years are a great time to start orthodontic treatment. At Durham Orthodontics, we provide individualized care for teens. After all, they deserve dazzling new smiles, too!
Did you know that the majority of your teen’s permanent teeth are in place by ages 11 – 15? It’s the perfect time to address any misalignments or bite issues. Treatment from Dr. Durham sets your teen up for a lifetime of oral health.
Options for Teen Treatment
Every teen’s smile is different, so we offer a variety of treatment options to suit their needs and lifestyle. From the traditional effectiveness of braces to the subtle flexibility of Invisalign, our goal is to find the right fit for your teen.
Dr. Durham works closely with your teen to see that the treatment they receive is efficient, comfortable, and meets their goals.
Braces
Braces remain an in-demand treatment for our teen patients in Madison. Using brackets and wires, they straighten teeth and correct alignment issues with reliable results. Plus, teens can customize their braces with colorful bands to show off their personalities!
Invisalign Teen
For a nearly invisible treatment option, we offer Invisalign Teen clear aligners. These aligners are removable, allowing for easy cleaning and eating. You read that right—your teens can take out their Invisalign Teen aligners (within Dr. Durham’s advice).
They're perfect for teens who prefer a more discreet approach to straightening their teeth without the look of traditional braces.
Personalized Care
We know that each teen has unique orthodontic needs, and Dr. Durham will help create a treatment plan that works best for your child. By evaluating their smile and discussing options, we aim for your teen to get the best care for a confident, happy smile!
Anytime’s a Great Time to Smile
More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment, and Durham Orthodontics is here to help you get the smile you’ve always wanted.
Are you correcting long-standing issues? Or maybe you just want to enhance your smile? We offer treatment options that fit your lifestyle and goals. It’s never too late to elevate your confidence and improve your oral health.
Benefits of Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment for adults definitely boosts the look of your smile. What else can it do? Treatment from Dr. Durham addresses issues like crowding, TMJ pain, and even speaking or eating difficulties.
Correcting these issues can enhance your oral hygiene, prevent further complications, and give you the confidence to smile freely.
Options for Adult Treatment
We know comfort, convenience, and subtlety are essential for our adult patients. That’s why we offer a variety of treatment options designed to meet your needs while delivering effective results.
3M Victory Series™ Active Brackets
For those who prefer a reliable approach, our metal braces use advanced technology to make treatment efficient and comfortable. They are a modern take on traditional braces, and they deliver proven results.
Clarity Advanced Ceramic Braces
If you prefer a less noticeable option, our ceramic braces use natural-colored brackets that blend in with your teeth. The trade-off? You’ll get all the benefits of braces without drawing attention to your treatment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. These removable aligners are great for adults looking for flexibility and comfort. But that’s not all. You’ll get a superstar new smile.
