A Most Dynamic Duo
Introducing Our Combination Treatment Solution
At Frey Orthodontics, you don’t have to choose between braces and clear aligners.
With our hybrid braces-and-clear aligners plan, you can enjoy the near-invisibility of aligners even if you have jaw and bite issues complex enough to require braces.
Here’s how combination treatment works:
- Start with metal braces: Let braces do the heavy lifting to correct malocclusion issues while shortening your overall treatment time.
- Switch to clear aligners: Once your smile is headed in the right direction, you’ll transition to clear aligners so you can fly the rest of your treatment under-the-radar.
- Show off your new smile: Enjoy a future to smile about with your new confident, comfortable, lifetime grin.
We Can Help
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics is also known as orthognathic surgery. It’s a treatment option for those with severe jaw misalignments that affect their bite, speech, or facial symmetry.
Dr. Dwight Frey works closely with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to help you get both functional and aesthetic improvements.
Conditions like severe overbites, underbites, open bites, and asymmetry may require a combination of braces and jaw surgery to correct. The process starts with orthodontic treatment to align the teeth, followed by surgery to reposition the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.
Patients often experience improved breathing, chewing, and speech, along with a boost in confidence from a more balanced facial structure.
Pre-Restorative Orthodontics
Before undergoing cosmetic or restorative dental work, like veneers, crowns, or implants, your teeth and bite need to be in the right position for the best results. Pre-restorative orthodontics helps create the ideal foundation for long-lasting, natural-looking dental work.
If your teeth are crowded, spaced out, or misaligned, it can affect the fit and function of crowns, bridges, or implants. By using braces or clear aligners, pre-restorative orthodontics helps position the teeth correctly, making it easier for Dr. Frey to restore your smile.
For some patients, even small adjustments can make a big difference in how their dental work looks and lasts. Whether you need space for an implant, better alignment for veneers, or a more even bite for long-term oral health, Dr. Frey customizes treatment to set you up for success.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Orthodontics guides jaw growth and development for a well-balanced, healthy smile. Dentofacial orthopedics focuses on correcting jaw size and position, especially in children and teens whose bones are still growing.
For growing patients, dentofacial orthopedic treatment often involves appliances like expanders, headgear, or functional devices to direct jaw development. These appliances help correct issues like underdeveloped jaws, crossbites, or excessive overbites.
Adults can also benefit from dentofacial orthopedics, though treatment may be combined with orthognathic (jaw) surgery since their bones have stopped growing.
Cosmetic Bonding
Sometimes, even after orthodontic treatment, small imperfections like chipped, uneven, or slightly gapped teeth can keep your smile from looking its best. Cosmetic bonding is a simple, painless way to refine your smile and create a more polished, natural look.
Using a tooth-colored composite resin, Dr. Frey can reshape, smooth, or fill in small imperfections in your teeth. The process is quick, non-invasive, and requires no anesthesia, making it an easy option if you’re looking to enhance your smile without extensive dental work.
Cosmetic bonding is especially helpful for patients with small chips, worn edges, uneven tooth lengths, or minor spacing that braces or aligners couldn’t fully correct.
Gingival Contouring
A straight smile is important, but your gumline plays a big role in how your smile looks, too. If you have excess gum tissue, an uneven gumline, or what’s sometimes called a “gummy smile,” gingival contouring can help.
Gingival contouring is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that removes excess gum tissue and sculpts a more even, symmetrical gumline. Using precise techniques, Dr. Frey carefully reshapes the gums to reveal more of your teeth.
In addition to cosmetic improvements, gingival contouring can also help with oral health. Excess gum tissue can make it harder to clean your teeth properly, increasing the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.
