Clear Aligners & Orthodontics in Newport, NH
A straighter, better-looking smile is only one benefit of orthodontic care. Tooth alignment can affect how your teeth come together, how they wear, and how easy they are to keep clean. Orthodontic care can support long-term dental health as well as appearance.
Crowding, a narrow upper jaw, mouth breathing, and sleep concerns can sometimes occur together. When these concerns are present, we consider the teeth, bite, jaw development, and oral function as part of the evaluation.
Airway-focused orthodontic care means paying attention to breathing and sleep-related concerns when they are relevant to dental and jaw development. In growing children, selected orthodontic problems may be addressed earlier rather than waiting for all adult teeth.
Canobie Dental offers clear-aligner and airway-focused orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. Treatment options include clear aligners such as Invisalign, early orthodontic treatment, palatal expanders, retainers, and treatment for teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontics.
Clear aligners and Invisalign
Clear aligners move teeth gradually using a series of removable trays.
We use digital scans to plan treatment and follow your progress. Aligners can be a good choice for crowding, spaces, teeth that have shifted, and many common bite problems. Because clear aligners are removable, brushing and flossing can be easier during orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign is one of the clear-aligner systems available at Canobie Dental. We do not use a "one-size-fits-all" approach, but instead create a customized treatment plan for each patient.
Orthodontics for adults
It is never too late to ask about straighter teeth.
Adults often choose orthodontic treatment to improve their smile, make teeth easier to clean, correct shifting after earlier treatment, or improve tooth position before bonding, veneers, crowns, or dental implants.
Early orthodontics for children
Some orthodontic problems are easier to address while a child is still growing.
We watch how the teeth, jaws, and bite develop. When early treatment makes sense, options may include palatal expanders, other dental appliances, or limited orthodontic treatment.
Palatal expanders
A narrow upper jaw can contribute to crowding, crossbites, or problems with how the upper and lower teeth fit together.
Palatal expanders can gently create more room while a child is growing. We can determine whether expansion may help and when treatment should begin.
Teeth moved after braces?
Teeth can move over time, especially when retainers are no longer worn.
We treat orthodontic relapse and can help patients who have noticed crowding, spaces, or other changes after previous orthodontic treatment.
Retainers
Retainers help protect your teeth after orthodontic treatment.
We provide retainers after treatment and can also help if an old retainer is lost, broken, worn out, or no longer fits.
Digital orthodontic care
Digital scanning lets us create a detailed model of your teeth without traditional impressions in many cases.
We can use those scans to plan treatment, follow changes, make aligners or retainers, and help you understand what we are trying to accomplish.
Is clear-aligner treatment right for every case?
No. Treatment depends on the teeth, bite, growth, and complexity of the case. We will explain what can be treated in our office after an evaluation.
