Coleman Orthodontics

Coleman Orthodontics Dr. Coleman can successfully correct most orthodontic problems regardless of the patient’s age. But that does not mean that the orthodontic treatment starting age does not matter. As with any decisions regarding health care, it is best to act when time is on your side. Two-phase orthodontic treatment is a specialized process that encompasses tooth straightening and facial changes.   As a child grows, both the upper jaw and lower jaw will grow in three dimensions. This growth will decide the final positioning of the mid and lower face. The major advantage of a two-phase treatment is to maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional, and esthetic result that will remain stable throughout your child’s life. Two-phase orthodontics starts with interceptive treatment. The goal of interceptive treatment is to take advantage of growth potential and to catch an orthodontic problem before it gets out of hand. Such treatment usually occurs be...

Coleman Orthodontics It seems like braces and teenagers go together like peanut butter and jelly. But did you know that children should really be seen by an Orthodontist as early as age seven for an evaluation ? Early diagnosis and treatment by Dr. Coleman can help guide facial development and tooth eruption, thereby preventing more serious problems from occurring later in your child's life. Treating children during early growth stages allows Dr. Coleman to achieve results that may not be possible once facial bones have fully developed. An early orthodontic examination does not always result in immediate treatment. A check-up may reveal that your child’s bite is fine. Or it may determine that early treatment is indicated to prevent or intercept more serious problems from developing. While your child’s teeth may appear to be straight, there could be a problem that only Dr. Coleman can detect. After evaluating your child, Dr. Coleman may simply want to monitor your child p...

Coleman Orthodontics It’s time to celebrate! You have just gotten your taken braces off and your smile looks perfect! If you want to keep that perfect smile for life you must make sure that you wear your retainer as prescribed by Dr. Coleman and his team . Your teeth are not set rigidly into your jawbone like you might think. Your teeth are held in place by bands of fibrous tissue called the periodontal ligaments. After your teeth have been moved into their ideal position by your braces it takes time for the periodontal ligaments to adjust. When you’re not wearing your retainer, pressure from your lips and tongue can cause your teeth to shift. Even if your teeth and smile don’t look like they have moved, that doesn’t mean they haven’t. If you go without wearing your retainer for long periods of time, your teeth will continue to move until misalignment is visibly noticeable, and that crooked smile you thought was a thing of the past will be back again.   The retention phas...

Coleman Orthodontics Your teeth are probably the only thing on your face that won’t get wrinkles…but your teeth certainly do show signs of aging. So if you want to look younger and healthier, your teeth are a great place to start!   A beautifully straight, symmetrical glowing white teeth cannot only make you look younger, but they can dramatically improve your confidence. Even if you start out with perfectly straight teeth, something called mesial drift will cause them to shift over time. Crowded teeth are an instant giveaway of age and straightening your teeth can often take 10 to 15 years off your appearance. Crowded teeth also increase the risk of tooth decay, premature tooth loss, and gum recession, all of which guarantee looking old. Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age. At Coleman Orthodontics , we always enjoy working with adult patients and like the many options that we have to use in creating great smiles for them.  Many ...
