Braces in Walla Walla, La Grande, Yakima & Ellensburg
Braces in Walla Walla, La Grande, Yakima and Ellensburg are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Since they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments might, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Braces don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, meaning Walla Walla, La Grande, Yakima and Ellensburg braces are a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Modern metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They’re made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
Our practice also offers LightForce Clear Braces. LightForce Clear Braces use 3D-printed, clear brackets that are made to fit each person’s teeth perfectly. Unlike regular braces, LightForce brackets are shaped specifically for each tooth.
Clear Aligners in Walla Walla, La Grande, Yakima & Ellensburg
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists in Walla Walla, La Grande, Yakima and Ellensburg and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the aligner system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Our aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Christopher or Dr. Farjo.
The aligner system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Clear Aligners are at their most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, aligners may not be a good option. A free consultation with Dr. Christopher or Dr. Farjo at Christopher Orthodontics, Walla Walla Orthodontics, or La Grande Orthodontics in Yakima, Ellensburg, Walla Walla, or La Grande will allow us to determine your eligibility for aligners.
