For Children and Adults

A beautiful smile is a great way to boost your self-confidence and also provide the functionality of a proper bite. At Elvebak orthodontics, our mission is to achieve this goal in the best way and fastest way possible.

Children

The American Association of Orthodontists advises that children be seen by an orthodontist by age 7 to determine if orthodontic treatment is needed. The first permanent molars and the incisors have normally come in by this time and excessive crowding, spacing, and bite problems can be evaluated. In some cases, early orthodontic treatment is needed to guide the growth of the jaws and incoming permanent teeth.

Most adolescents have all of the permanent teeth by the age of 12 or 13. In most cases, this is an excellent time to begin orthodontic treatment. Dr. Elvebak uses the latest technology, such as Invisalign Teen and the Damon System, to provide his patients with a great result with fewer visits and less discomfort.

Adults

Orthodontic treatment can be accomplished at any age! Dr. Elvebak offers a variety of treatment methods that allow adults to achieve the same fantastic results that can be achieved in children.

Orthodontic treatment at any life stage can make a dramatic improvement in your personal appearance and self-esteem. In addition, straight teeth and a good bite are much easier to keep clean and healthy. Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to tooth decay, gum and bone loss, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel, headaches, and jaw joint pain (TMJ/TMD).

Recent changes in technology, such as Invisalign and the Damon System allow adults to achieve great results with fewer visits and less discomfort.

During your initial exam, Dr. Elvebak will be able to determine the best treatment for your individual needs. We will also be able to outline your estimated treatment time and cost.
