SMILE SERVICES

If you are dissatisfied with your smile and not interested in a mouth full of metal or ceramic braces, Invisalign® may be the solution. Invisalign® is a wire-free, comfortable and  convenience alternative to traditional wire braces. Invisalign® uses a system of clear, virtually invisible aligners to incrementally straighten your smile in just 12 to 18 months.

A straight smile does more than just look great—it can also help improve your overall oral health. Modern braces are much more comfortable and advanced than they used to be. In addition correcting the bite, fixing crowded teeth and aiding in the creation of an aesthetically appealing smile, braces can also help your speak. At Virginia Orthodontic Partners, we offer metal and ceramic braces.

The American Association of Orthodontists and Virginia Orthodontic Partners recommend that children see an orthodontist as early as age seven to evaluate the growth of the jaw and bite problems. Also known as phase one orthodontic treatment, early orthodontic treatment refers to procedures and treatment options that will help correct jaw misalignment and help to make room for permanent teeth to come in properly.

Orthodontic treatment is not just for children! According to the American Association of Orthodontics, one in every four patients is an adult. If you have always wanted to straighten the appearance of your smile or address other orthodontic concerns, Virginia Orthodontic Partners in Northern Virginia is here to help. Orthodontics helps your smile appear more attractive in a natural-looking way in addition to approving your oral health.

The good news is that there are no orthodontic emergencies. If you think you have an actual emergency, you either have a medical or dental emergency and need to see a dentist or doctor. Orthodontic emergencies are actually just discomfort and concern. In these situations, contact our office to come in for an appointment as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can often temporarily fix the problem yourself.

If you are constantly tired, wake up several times a night or snore, you may have a sleep-related breathing disorder such as sleep apnea. Virginia Orthodontic Partners are a DreamSleep Certified Provider with extensive, hands-on training to screen for and treat sleep disorders in adults and children. Our orthodontists offer oral appliances to treat sleep apnea to help you get good-quality, restful sleep every night.
