Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are reliable and effective for correcting various dental misalignments, suitable for patients of all ages.
Metal braces are an economical choice as they don’t need the advanced technology or costly equipment that newer treatments might require.
Today's braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more aesthetically pleasing. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, metal braces are the most frequently seen type.
Brackets are attached to the front of each tooth and linked by an archwire, which assists in directing your teeth to their desired positions as determined by Dr. Manzella.
Clear Braces
A less noticeable alternative to metal braces, clear braces provide effective treatment with an aesthetic appeal for those conscious of the appearance of braces.
The brackets of clear braces are crafted from ceramic, making them less noticeable on your teeth. They are now smaller and composed of nearly invisible tooth-colored polycrystalline ceramic material.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners, a modern orthodontic solution, offer the most discretion with removable aligners that subtly enhance your smile without the appearance of traditional braces.
Spark clear aligners rank among the most inconspicuous and comfortable available. Each aligner is individually hand-trimmed with patient comfort as the foremost priority.
During your initial no-cost consultation at Manzella Orthodontics, we'll perform digital scans and X-rays to generate a 3D model of your mouth.
Benefits of Orthodontics Across All Ages
Orthodontics is vital for improving oral health and aesthetics across different life stages.
Children
Early treatment can guide proper jaw growth, correct harmful oral habits, and simplify later treatments. Lancaster orthodontics for children can lay a foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Your child requires properly aligned teeth and jaws for a durable and healthy smile, or what is often referred to as a healthy bite. The American Association of Orthodontists advises that children should receive an orthodontic evaluation by the time they are seven years old.
At this age, your child’s teeth have developed sufficiently to identify minor issues with jaw growth and the emergence of teeth, even though some baby teeth remain. This early assessment might show that your child’s bite is ideal, and there is no need for braces.
Teens
This pivotal time for dental correction can dramatically improve teeth alignment, bite, and overall appearance. Braces or aligners for teens boost self-esteem and promote better oral hygiene practices.
Experienced orthodontists like Dr. Manzella will also be able to easily recognize issues with spacing, crowding, bite, and alignment in this age range, Your teen’s bone and jaw structure are formed enough to allow orthodontic treatment to begin.
Some teens may have even started Phase I treatment at an earlier age, and are now following it up with full braces or other orthodontic treatment.
Adults
It's never too late to enhance one's smile. Orthodontic treatment can prevent bone loss, improve bite and chewing ability, and offer a significant cosmetic boost, enhancing social confidence and professional prospects.
