Benefits of Orthodontics Across All Ages
At Mahlmann & Borders Orthodontics, we provide comprehensive orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages. Whether you are seeking early intervention for your child, flexible treatment options for your teen, or discreet solutions for yourself as an adult, our practice is equipped to meet your needs. Our goal is to deliver the highest quality care in a friendly and welcoming environment.
Orthodontics for Children
At Mahlmann & Borders, we believe that early intervention is key to preventing future dental problems. For children, starting orthodontic treatment early can address issues such as overcrowding, improper bites, and jaw alignment while their mouths are still developing. By guiding the growth of your child’s teeth and jaw, we can prevent more severe problems down the road, potentially reducing the need for more invasive treatments later in life. Our team is dedicated to making the orthodontic experience positive and stress-free for your child, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident. Early treatment not only helps create a strong foundation for a healthy smile but also fosters good oral hygiene habits that will benefit your child for a lifetime.
Orthodontics for Teens
Teens today lead incredibly busy lives, balancing school, extracurricular activities, and social engagements. At Mahlmann & Borders, we offer flexible orthodontic solutions that fit seamlessly into your teen’s active schedule. We provide a range of treatment options, from traditional metal braces to more discreet alternatives like clear braces and Invisalign, allowing your teen to choose the method that best suits their lifestyle. Our treatments are designed to be effective and manageable, so your teen can continue enjoying their favorite activities without interruption. We also emphasize the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene during treatment to ensure optimal results.
Orthodontics for Adults
At Mahlmann & Borders, we understand that orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children and teens—adults can benefit greatly too. Today, nearly 20 percent of orthodontic patients are adults, and for a good reason. Whether you’re looking to correct long-standing issues or simply want to improve your smile, we offer discreet treatment options such as clear braces and Invisalign. These options allow you to achieve a straighter smile without the visible appearance of traditional metal braces. Orthodontic care can also improve your oral health, boost your confidence, and enhance your professional and personal life. It’s never too late to invest in your smile, and our team is here to help you achieve the results you deserve.
