Orthodontics in Henderson, NV

Welcome to Adaven Children’s Dentistry, where Dr. Travis Neu and our dedicated team offer comprehensive orthodontic solutions in Henderson, NV. We’re excited to help you understand how orthodontics can benefit your child’s dental health and overall well-being.

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on correcting irregularities of the teeth and jaw, particularly alignment and occlusion, or how your upper and lower teeth touch when you bite. Effective orthodontic treatment not only improves the appearance of your child’s smile but also enhances their oral health by making teeth easier to clean and maintain.

Can I See My General Dentist for Orthodontic Work?

While some extreme cases may require care from an orthodontist, a skilled dentist like Dr. Travis Neu can handle many basic orthodontic treatments. This ensures that your child will receive the best care possible from a team they already trust for specific needs like braces or Invisalign.

Orthodontic Services We Offer

At Adaven Children’s Dentistry, we’re proud to offer a variety of orthodontic services that cater to the unique needs of each patient:

Braces: Traditional metal braces are a reliable choice for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. They are especially effective for more complex alignment problems.
Invisalign: As a less visible alternative to metal braces, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to fit snugly over your child’s teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position.

What You Can Expect During Your Orthodontic Screening

When you and your child visit our office for an orthodontic screening, here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation: Dr. Neu will conduct a thorough examination of your child’s teeth, jaw, and facial structure.
Diagnostic Records: We may take X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your child's teeth to create a detailed orthodontic plan.
Discussion of Options: Dr. Neu will discuss the findings and recommend the best orthodontic treatment options for your child.
Personalized Treatment Plan: We will provide a personalized treatment plan including the duration of the treatment and what your child can expect during the process.

Dr. Neu can help determine which option is most suitable based on your child’s specific conditions.

Orthodontics FAQ

Common Questions about Braces

How do I clean my teeth and braces?

You will still need to floss daily and brush twice a day to maintain your oral health. Floss picks can be great for flossing since many of them fit behind the wires of your braces. Take great care to brush every part of your tooth with your toothbrush; it will require some maneuvering but you’ll get the hang of it!

What can I eat and drink with braces?

You’ll need to be cautious about what you eat so that you don’t snap off brackets or disconnect any wires. Avoid hard foods that could put too much force on your braces, or sticky foods that could get stuck on the metal brackets. These include foods like hard candy, nuts, popcorn, caramels, corn on the cob, apples, chewing gum, and more.

Common Questions about Invisalign®

How do I clean my Invisalign® clear aligners?

Using cool to lukewarm water, you’ll use a toothbrush and toothpaste to clean the inside and outside of the aligners. Clean your aligners and teeth after meals and before placing the aligners back in your mouth. Do not use warm or hot water, which can warp the plastic aligners and render them unusable.

Can I eat or drink with clear aligners?

One of the benefits of clear aligners is that they are removable, so you can remove your aligners at meal times and have no dietary restrictions. While wearing your aligners, only consume clear, unflavored water, and don’t eat any foods. Invisalign® aligners are not strong enough to withstand chewing, and their clear design makes them vulnerable to staining if you consume colored or flavored drinks.
