Orthodontic Treatments Available to Camino Patients
Our Placerville practice offers all the main orthodontic treatments to help Camino guests achieve their dream smile. Led by Dr. Sanders, DDS, MS, and Dr. Kim, our team tailors every plan to your goals, age, and lifestyle. Here’s what you can expect:
Traditional Braces
Tried, tested, and still the gold standard for complex alignment cases. Metal and ceramic braces are reliable, effective, and work well for guests of all ages. Today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before, with lower-profile brackets and gentler wires that reduce soreness between visits. Ceramic options blend in with natural tooth color for guests who want a more subtle look. Most cases run 18-24 months, though timelines vary based on your specific alignment needs.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Looking for a more discreet option? Invisalign uses custom clear trays to shift your teeth gradually. It’s popular with teens and adults who want to straighten their smile without metal brackets. You’ll swap trays roughly every one to two weeks as your teeth move into position, and the aligners come out for meals, brushing, and special occasions. Most guests wear their trays 20-22 hours daily for best results. We use iTero scans to map your treatment digitally and show you a preview of your final smile before you even start.
Phase 1 Early Orthodontic Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Phase 1 treatment can address developing concerns like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth before they become more complex. Early intervention often shortens later treatment time and can reduce the need for extractions or surgery down the road. We use this stage to guide jaw development, create room for permanent teeth, and set your child up for a healthier smile long term.
Advanced Treatment Options
TADs are small titanium anchors that give us precise control over specific tooth movements without affecting nearby teeth. Palatal expanders widen the upper jaw gradually, most effective in younger guests whose bones are still developing. Diode laser treatment helps with gum reshaping and can improve comfort during your smile experience. Surgical orthodontics combines braces with jaw surgery for severe bite issues that braces alone can’t correct.
Retention
Your smile experience doesn’t end when braces come off. We provide custom retainers and follow-up care to keep your results looking great for years to come. Retainers protect the investment you’ve made and prevent teeth from shifting back. We’ll walk you through wear schedules, cleaning tips, and what to do if a retainer is ever lost or damaged.
