Orthodontic Services In Watertown, SD
We provide orthodontic services of many kinds, including braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, and sleep apnea treatment. Below are some of the services that we can provide to patients to improve their quality of life.
Braces
Do you have a misaligned jaw or crooked teeth? We install traditional metal braces to help align your teeth and restore problems with your bite. Traditional braces are a tried-and-true product that can gently shift your teeth into the correct position over time. Some benefits of traditional braces include:
- Effective for patients with a range of orthodontic problems
- Typically more affordable than clear aligners
- Customizable for the patient, with brackets and rubber bands available in different colors
Invisalign®
Invisalign clear aligners are made of clear plastic that can be installed over the teeth. When in use, Invisalign can gently shift the teeth into place, doing the same work as traditional braces for most patients.
Invisalign clear aligners are preferred by many patients because they’re subtler than traditional metal braces. Invisalign is also easy to remove for meals and cleaning. This means you can eat your normal diet when using Invisalign and can easily keep your teeth clean as well.
TMJ Therapy
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, but the acronym is often used to describe temporomandibular joint disorder, a problem that can cause swelling, pain, and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint. TMJ therapy requires orthodontic appliances to correct misalignment and restore functionality to the temporomandibular joint.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes the patient to stop breathing briefly while they sleep. Many patients experience this problem because their throat muscles relax and cover their airways during sleep.
For many patients, a dental appliance can stop this from happening. We offer sleep apnea treatment for patients. If you have the symptoms of sleep apnea, including loud snoring and daytime tiredness, talk to us to find out more about sleep apnea treatment.
