Straight teeth are only part of orthodontic treatment. How your upper and lower teeth fit together, how much room is available, and how your bite functions all influence the treatment your orthodontist may recommend.
Dr. Brianna Thompson and the Blue Springs team evaluate these factors before discussing braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic options. Some patients benefit from early monitoring, while others are ready to begin treatment.
The goal of your first visit is to leave with a clearer understanding of your orthodontic needs, treatment choices, and expected next steps.

Invisalign uses a series of removable, clear aligners to gradually move teeth. It may be a good choice for teens and adults who want a less noticeable treatment option and can follow the recommended wear schedule.
