Greatwood Braces: Expert Orthodontic Care
At Mahlmann & Borders Orthodontics, our team brings years of expertise to Richmond families and beyond, offering personalized care and innovative solutions to achieve beautiful, straight smiles. Braces are one of our specialties, helping patients of all ages transform their teeth and improve their oral health.
Types of Braces Offered
We provide two effective Greatwood braces options to meet diverse patient needs: metal braces and clear braces.
Metal Braces
Metal braces have been a trusted and proven method for straightening teeth for decades. These braces consist of durable metal brackets attached to the teeth and connected by an archwire, which is regularly adjusted to guide teeth into proper alignment. Modern metal braces are more comfortable, efficient, and smaller in size than ever before. They remain an excellent choice for addressing even the most complex orthodontic issues. With reliable results and affordability, metal braces are a great option for children, teens, and adults seeking a beautifully straight smile. At Mahlmann & Borders Orthodontics, we ensure your treatment is personalized and effective.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer an aesthetic alternative to traditional metal braces, using translucent or tooth-colored brackets to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This discreet option provides the same effectiveness and reliability as metal braces while maintaining a more subtle appearance. With advancements in materials, today’s clear braces are strong, stain-resistant, and highly effective. At Mahlmann & Borders Orthodontics, we customize clear braces treatment to suit your needs, helping you achieve a straighter, more confident smile without compromising your lifestyle or appearance.
The Orthodontic Process
At Mahlmann & Borders Orthodontics, the orthodontic journey begins with a personalized approach to ensure the best results for every patient. The process starts with a free consultation, where our experienced team evaluates your smile and listens to your goals. This visit includes a comprehensive exam, discussion of your concerns, and a review of treatment options tailored to your needs.
Next, we utilize state-of-the-art technology, such as digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your dental structure in detail. This precise diagnostic phase allows us to create a custom treatment plan, whether you need metal braces, clear braces, or another solution. Our orthodontists, Dr. Mahlmann and Dr. Borders, explain every step clearly, ensuring you’re comfortable and informed before moving forward.
Once treatment begins, your braces are carefully applied, or your clear aligners are provided, depending on the chosen method. Regular appointments follow, typically every 4–8 weeks, to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. During these visits, we ensure your treatment is progressing smoothly and address any questions or concerns.
By the end of your treatment, you’ll achieve the confident, straight smile you’ve been working toward. Our team provides guidance to maintain your results for years to come, prioritizing your long-term dental health and satisfaction.
