Why Your Child Should Visit an Orthodontist

February 4, 2015 by admin 3 Comments

Each February, the American Dental Association sponsors National Children’s Dental Month to promote the benefits of great oral health. While most people understand the importance of a healthy smile, few people know just how big of a role orthodontic care plays children’s overall oral health.

Children's Orthodontics

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have a check-up with a licensed orthodontist around the age of seven. Many initial crowding, crossbite, and jaw discrepancies begin to surface at that time. Early treatment could allow your orthodontist to guide jaw growth, help lower the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth, detect and correct harmful oral habits, improve your child’s bite, and improve the appearance of your child’s smile. Many times, early treatment may prevent more serious issues from developing, make treatment later on shorter and less complicated, or help your child avoid further treatment altogether.

Whether or not the initial assessment reveals any issues, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you are doing everything you can to help your child develop a healthy, beautiful smile.

Aiken-Augusta Progressive Study Club

May 3, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

On Tuesday, March 20, Dr. David and Carter Orthodontics hosted the first Aiken-Augusta Progressive Study Club. Dr. David has long felt a need for all general dentists AND specialists be up to date on the most current dental treatments and techniques, and what better way than to do it TOGETHER. Each month, Dr. David and Carter Orthodontics will present national and international speakers via teleconference (through DentalEd) for all invited dentists in the CSRA. The first DentalEd meeting presented the latest concepts on anterior (front) tooth crowns and porcelain veneers, important to both family dentists and orthodontists alike. The meeting lasted three hours and all attendees found the ‘group’ learning session to be not only unique, but also kept all well informed and on the same ‘page’ as to what are the best techniques and dental materials available.

Carter Orthodontics remains on the forefront looking for exceptional ways to stay educated as well as providing the BEST treatment available!!!

How DOES Invisalign Work?

January 11, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

By Dr. David Carter

The Invisalign and Invisalign Teen process is possibly the highest form of orthodontic technology I have seen. The first step is we take a very EXACT model (impression) of your teeth. We then send these models to Invisalign, and they create a 3-D model that is then sent back to me over secure internet. I then take the 3-D model and actually TREAT the teeth in VIRTUAL REALITY (so to speak). Once I’ve completed the treatment, I send the treated 3-D models (called a “ClinCheck”) back to Invisalign. They have a patented process that creates a series of clear plastic trays (called “aligners”), that moves the teeth over a two week period of time. Each aligner slowly and comfortably moves the teeth just like braces. The obvious difference is that they are REMOVABLE so you can take them out to eat whatever you want! And they can be removed for easy brushing and flossing. And all YOU have to do is wear each aligner about 20 hours per day. They’re so comfortable you really won’t even notice that they are IN!
