Aligning Teeth for Straighter & Healthier Smiles
Misaligned teeth and malocclusion (bite misalignment) can become more serious the longer you leave them untreated. We want to not only help you enjoy a straighten, more confidence-provoking smile, but also improved oral health. We offer traditional metal braces, Six Month Smiles, and clear aligners in Olathe to do just that. To find out how what your orthodontic journey would look like, you can book a visit with our team.

Traditional Braces
Per their name, traditional braces are the most typical way to straighten teeth. They often consist of metal brackets and wires that move each tooth into the right position. Such features mean regular braces work best on crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth. Metal braces can also fix overbites, underbites, and crossbites when you experience bite misalignment. Although there’s an adjustment period once your braces are placed, you won’t regret the results when the process is complete!
Clear Aligners
For patients who’d prefer to avoid braces, we suggest clear aligners. This option uses clear, plastic trays instead of brackets and wires. By wearing these aligners, your teeth will shift into the proper places over time. Our team ensures such results by printing and designing the aligners in-office! By doing so, we can better monitor and adjust the treatment process. You’ll then get a straighter smile in roughly 12-18 months or so – a much shorter period than the average time with braces.
PROPEL Orthodontics
PROPEL (as you may expect) is a procedure that speeds up orthodontic work by months at a time. In particular, it uses a tool – barely larger than a pen – to make tiny holes in the bone near your teeth. This action stimulates the alveolar bone (which contains the tooth sockets) and helps it adjust as your teeth move. Your treatment will then take less time, meaning you’ll get your straight smile much sooner. Best of all, this PROPEL method is quick and painless.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is a unique orthodontic system that straightens teeth quickly and comfortably. Rather than metal components, it consists of clear brackets and tooth-colored wires placed on your teeth. This makeup allows it to align your smile without drawing much attention. Also, it’s more cosmetics-focused and only works on your front-facing teeth. That means treatment only takes six months or so, though it won’t correct any complex bite issues.
