Your Springdale Orthodontist

Why See an Orthodontist in Springdale?

An orthodontist is a dentist who has gone on for two or three more years of formal education to specialize in how and why teeth move. That training covers how to plan and carry out the right treatment for each smile. Dentists receive basic orthodontic training, which is enough for many things, but orthodontics is our entire area of care.

Seeing a specialist can change your experience with braces by giving you:

• More treatment options to choose from
• Efficient visits, since orthodontics is our primary focus
• A doctor with hands-on experience treating many cases like yours, including more complex bite problems
• Appointments that only come around every six to eight weeks, which makes it easy to fit treatment into a busy schedule

Storms Orthodontics is proud to serve patients across the Springdale area.

Springdale Braces

Springdale braces are one of the most dependable ways to straighten teeth and correct bite problems, and they work for children, teens, and adults. At Storms Orthodontics, brackets are attached to each tooth and joined by an archwire that applies gentle, steady pressure to guide your teeth into place.

We offer two kinds of braces, and both are self-ligating. Our self-ligating metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel and use a built-in device to hold the wire instead of elastics. The result is a more comfortable, less noticeable brace that needs fewer adjustments, so you spend less time in the chair. Our clear braces use ceramic brackets that blend in with the natural color of your teeth for a more discreet look.

Because self-ligating braces need fewer adjustments, you will only be stopping by our Springdale office every six to eight weeks during treatment. With no elastics around the brackets, there is also less plaque build-up, which makes keeping your teeth clean easier.

Not sure which type is right for you? Your first exam is free and takes about an hour. We take digital X-rays, digital photos, and 3D scans so we can recommend the option that fits your smile and your goals. You can find our hours and directions on the Springdale office page, and for a closer look at treatment, visit our Springdale braces page.

Why does it matter if you see your Springdale Orthodontist?

Specialists receive additional training to give them the skills needed to deal with more complex orthodontic problems. Dentists receive basic orthodontic training which allows them to perform root canals, extract wisdom teeth, and treat young children who do not need to see an orthodontist yet.

Seeing a specialist like your Springdale orthodontist may change your experience in braces by:

• • Providing additional treatment options.

• • Giving you more efficient treatment and visits, because it is the office's primary area of care.

• • Knowing that you'll receive the best possible outcome on your treatment plan, especially if you have severe bite problems that need to be addressed.

• • Personal experience treating multiple cases that share your unique concerns

• • Being seen more quickly, as a family dentist will be focused on longer patient cases or emergencies throughout the day.

• • You may think it's easier to have your orthodontic work completed by your dentist. Convenience shouldn't be a concern, because you will only be stopping by your Springdale orthodontist's offices every six to eight weeks.

And don't let price be a problem either! Storms Orthodontics is proud to provide affordable treatment in the Springdale area.
