Read on for details on orthodontic treatments offered at Hutta & Hutta Orthodontics and how our experts can help you feel like a happier, healthier, and more confident person!
Orthodontic Treatment Options
At our Columbus office, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments. Your orthodontist will guide you in the right direction based on a number of factors like your health, goals, preferences, and anatomy. The first step of the process will be a consultation, where our orthodontic experts will get to know you and perform a thorough examination of your teeth and mouth. Afterward, your orthodontist will hear what you want to gain from orthodontic care. This differs from patient to patient! We care about each patient’s goals, and our experts use this discussion to help plan out the ideal care plan. From there, your custom treatment will begin. Get excited for sparkling, aligned smiles!
Braces and Aligners for All Ages
When you think of braces, what do you imagine? While care many decades ago might have involved clunky hardware, painful appointments, and ultra-noticeable appliances, treatment is more advanced than ever! Patients are often pleasantly surprised to learn about the advancements in technology that make transforming your grin faster, more discreet, and more comfortable. Now, you can relax throughout your journey knowing you’re in expert hands.
Orthodontic care is for both children and adults. No matter your age, you deserve to smile without anxiety or insecurities. Because we want to serve all our patients as best as we can, we offer the most advanced form of braces—Damon Braces and Damon Ultima Braces. Damon Braces make clunky and uncomfortable appliances a thing of the past. Say goodbye to painful visits to the orthodontic office! With a sleek, self-ligating system, Damon Braces tighten gradually on their own, without patients needing to come in for frequent adjustments at the orthodontist. This is a huge plus for those who have busy schedules! The gradual tightening makes this braces process more comfortable, efficient, and convenient than the traditional braces process. As a bonus, patients can also opt for clear braces to make brackets even more discreet.
Millions of Americans have trusted clear aligners for their grin, and that number grows daily. At Hutta & Hutta, we are proud to offer industry-leading aligners that are clear and removable. With aligners as your orthodontic treatment, you’ll wear your set 20-22 hours daily and change your trays every 2 weeks. These sets of aligners shift your teeth little by little, which makes them comfortable as well as effective. Aligners make day-to-day life easy as you can take them out for eating and oral hygiene routines. Since they are clear, they offer a discreet look, which can be especially important for adults. After some time wearing the aligners, your teeth will straighten to their optimal position, and your orthodontic treatment will be complete. This option is perfect for those with mild-to-moderate concerns and a busy, active lifestyle.
Self-Confidence During Orthodontic Care
Because Drs. Hutta and Hutta are committed to providing the latest technology for our patients, you can be confident while undergoing orthodontic treatment. This looks different for everyone. Children tend to gravitate toward colorful brackets that show off their personality. Many children get excited about all of the colorful bracket options and choose one based on their favorite color, their favorite team’s colors, and more! Some teenagers and adults, however, would prefer a more subtle option during the orthodontic process, and we have them covered with our wide selection of discreet services. Regardless of your treatment, one of the best ways to ensure a discreet experience is to maintain excellent oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing properly can ensure there aren’t pieces of food stuck in your braces and that your clear aligners or braces stay clear. By keeping your grin as healthy as it is beautiful, you’ll also boost your self-esteem.
Subtle Appliances, Expert Results
Want orthodontic treatment that isn’t as noticeable? We offer ceramic Damon Braces, which are a great alternative to other braces with colorful brackets and noticeable metal. Ceramic braces have brackets that are tooth-colored and less noticeable. If you decide to opt for aligners, we provide clear aligners that are barely noticeable. You don’t have to hide when you are in the process of receiving orthodontic treatment. Instead, with our discreet services, you can share smiles confidently—whether you are in the workplace, at school, or lunch with friends.
Straight Teeth and Healthy Self-Image
Your self-image is important as it has an impact on how well you treat yourself. Pursuing confidence with your smile is just one way that you can put yourself first. Come into our office, and we’ll show you how we’ve had a positive impact on our patients’ self-esteem! Over the years, our experts have helped thousands of patients and generations of families fall in love with their grins. We can’t wait to help you, too!
Put Dental Insecurities Behind You
Everyone has insecurities. In the world we live in, we care about whether or not our teeth are straight, beautiful, and confident. If you’re insecure about smiling or how your first impressions might go, you no longer have to feel this anxiety and pressure. By receiving orthodontic treatment, you can rest assured that your grin looks as beautiful as you deserve!
Pediatric Confidence and Health
The perfect accessory to your child’s school outfit, aside from a backpack and lunch box, is a healthy smile. When talking in front of the whole class, eating at the lunch table, or making friends at recess on the playground, you want to help them put their best foot forward: smiling with proper self-esteem. Prevent your child from hiding their teeth when talking, eating, and playing by bringing them into Hutta & Hutta for orthodontic treatment. Straight teeth are often healthy teeth. It is reported that aligning your teeth and jaw makes dental cleaning and brushing easier. This means that after orthodontic treatment, your child can have fewer worries about their health and focus on the things that matter most.
In addition to correcting issues with teeth, we also positively influence facial growth, jaw alignment, airway, and sleep with our expert care. By proactively bringing in your child for assessment by age 7, we can ensure that your child’s health and wellness are set up for success.
Orthodontics Can Make Adults Confident
As an adult, your life can also improve from dental confidence. Many adults hide their smiles due to insecurity. Fortunately, discreet care makes even the process of transforming grins a pleasant and confident experience. By receiving orthodontic care, you can make a positive first impression on others in all areas of your life, smiling wide and radiating confidence!
From problems with your bite to crowding or gaps, orthodontic care can help remedy various aesthetic and health-related concerns. In addition to improving oral hygiene, orthodontics can balance facial harmony, reduce the risk of issues like bruxism that lead to worn, cracked, or chipped teeth, and prevent future age-related shifting and crowding. Commit to long-term improved confidence and self-care by taking the first step in your journey!
