Cherry Creek Orthodontics Blog | Dr. Rudman

Advances in dental technology have made dental braces much more effective than they were in previous years. As a result, you can enjoy superior orthodontic treatment and increased comfort.

Here are some of the advantages of modern braces:

• Reduced treatment time – At Cherry Creek Orthodontics, we use computer-aided technology with all of our orthodontic treatments. This enables us to create your ideal tooth position, and your treatment will be completed much quicker.
• Comfortable treatment – Dental brace wires are now made of materials that provide more efficient repositioning of your teeth with considerably less discomfort. Titanium implants can be used to anchor the bone on the side of your mouth in order to shift your front teeth back. This will create more space for the rest of your teeth. Dr. Robert Rudman can also attach magnets to your molars to help lift and reposition them. Most importantly, very few orthodontic treatments today require the cumbersome headgear used in the past.
• Improved aesthetics – Patients who are ideal candidates for Invisalign can enjoy their treatment with clear braces which will not be unsightly to friends, family members, and colleagues. Invisalign treatment consists of a series of aligners made out of a clear material that fits tightly over your teeth. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and causes a gradual shift in your teeth. When your treatment is done, you will have straight, beautiful teeth. Dr. Rudman will want to see you every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress if you choose Invisalign treatment.

At your initial consultation, Dr. Rudman will conduct a thorough orthodontic evaluation and discuss your treatment options with you.

At Cherry Creek Orthodontics, we understand that a thorough and comprehensive orthodontic evaluation is crucial to devising the right treatment plan for your orthodontic needs. During your first visit to our office, our experienced Denver orthodontist, Dr. Robert Rudman, will conduct your orthodontic evaluation.

This evaluation will last approximately 30-60 minutes. Dr. Rudman will conduct an oral, facial, and functional examination to assess your oral health issues. At the end of this examination, we will take intraoral photos, facial photos, and x-rays for your diagnostic records.

We take panoramic and cephalometric x-rays to study the position of your teeth within the jaw. X-rays of your entire head will also be taken to study your bone structure and jaw relationships. At this time, we will also take impressions and models of your upper and lower teeth to help us evaluate your bite.

After you leave, we will spend time carefully analyzing your diagnostic records so that we can determine the appropriate treatment method. We feel that it is important to spend additional time during this phase of the process, because ultimately, in-depth planning will enable us to provide you with more effective orthodontic treatment.

When you return for your second visit, we will discuss treatment options, time frames, and financial arrangements. Dr. Rudman will also answer any additional questions you may have at this time so that you have a clear understanding of what your treatment will entail.
