Orthodontic Services for McMurray Smiles

At Cartwright Orthodontics, we offer numerous services to help our patients achieve the oral health and appearance of their dreams. These treatments include:

Traditional Orthodontics

Even with our advanced technology, traditional braces are a tried and true method. We offer metal and clear ceramic braces to help patients correct a wide variety of bite and alignment issues. Unlike other solutions, this treatment has few limitations, making traditional orthodontics our go-to option for patients with moderate to severe bite problems in McMurray.

Phase 1 Pediatric Orthodontics

You may think of the classic teenager with a mouth full of colorful braces, but in reality, your child that is much younger could benefit from phase 1 pediatric orthodontics. This involves the use of spacers, partial braces, and other appliances to shift teeth before your little one’s adult smile has grown in. This treatment will typically be recommended between ages 7 and 11, and it can decrease the likelihood of impacted permanent teeth, improve the chance of properly aligned adult teeth, and helps with the growth of your child’s jaw.

Clear Aligners

Do you want straight teeth without the appearance and hassle of traditional braces? We offer Clear aligners to give you the most comfortable and discreet way of straightening teeth. Utilizing a series of clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place, this treatment is comfortable, completely removeable, and typically faster than other solutions. Clear aligners are especially popular with teens and young adults who want to navigate through their personal and professional lives without being affected by noticeable braces.

Orthodontic Appliances

Dr. Cartwright is committed to providing McMurray patients with the treatments that they need, which is why he offers additional orthodontic appliances to ensure that the job is done correctly. From retainers to protect your investment for the long term to palatal expanders that widen the upper jaw, we have the services necessary to give you and your loved one unmatched orthodontic care. 

Orthodontic Emergencies

While emergencies are impossible to plan for, we are ready and able to help you or your loved one in a time of need. Whether it’s dental pain or discomfort, tissue irritation, loose or poking wires, and everything in between, our expert staff is ready to help. However, if you or a family member is facing a life-threatening injury, you should go to the emergency room right away for treatment.

Mouthguards

In addition to our top-rated orthodontics, we also offer mouthguards to keep you and your little one’s teeth protected. Our mouthguards are not only more effective and longer lasting than store bought products, but many times, regular mouthguards won’t fit over braces. We custom make our oral appliances to fit comfortably around your smile and protect your teeth. Our mouthguards also limit the amount of concussion that you or your child may feel from a collision.
