Dr. Doug Orthodontics PLLC

Dr. Doug Orthodontics PLLC The highest quality orthodontic care for children and adults, including Invisalign, clear and colored braces, in a friendly, family like atmosphere.

We'll make you smile! At Dr. Doug Orthodontics we have built our practice around a unique practice vision. Due to our economy, orthodontic practices all over our area have been focusing more on the “business” of orthodontics, rather than the “practice” of orthodontics. Dr. Doug believes the focus of a truly successful practice needs to be on the patient. Our focus is not only on personalized, state-of-the art orthodontic care, but also on providing a top notch patient/family experience. This patient experience depends on Dr. Doug taking the time to get to know his patients and their families, so he can provide the appropriate, individualized care. We want our patients to feel like part of our family. This is not an “assembly-line” type practice where you see the assistants more than you see the doctor. While Dr. Doug believes in cutting edge diagnostics and treatment; utilizing the lowest dose digital x-rays, no-radiation digital models and the most up to date treatment options, he also believes it is even more important to be readily available to all his patients at every visit, to discuss progress and answer any questions for patients and parents. We strive to “be the best” for our patients, because Dr. Doug believes if we are successful at all the above, that our patients will not only refer others to us, but that they will be our biggest fans, and that they will go out of their way to tell their friends and family about our practice! Dr. Doug Orthodontics was established with the belief that if we are successful at staying committed to our vision, that the “business” of growing our practice will largely take care of itself, which allows us to continue to spend our time and efforts on our amazing patients and their care! Dr. Doug provides orthodontic diagnosis and treatment utilizing:
-Progeny Digital X-rays (ultra-low radiation)
-3-D Digital modeling with no radiation
-Metal/Color braces
-Clear/Ceramic braces
-Invisalign for adults and teens

We also provide evening hours on Mondays and Fridays to accommodate our patients and their parent’s schedules. Dr. Doug Orthodontics participates in a number of insurance plans, and can usually obtain your maximum insurance benefit for most plans even if we are not in your network. We also provide no-interest long-term payment plans as we believe everyone should be entitled to the smile of their dreams, at a price they can afford. Initial consultations are always free!

What is going on here? This is how we correct an open bite with stability. A traditional approach of using elastics to pull the teeth together will often lead to relapse of the open bite, even with good retainer wear. Jaw surgery is another option, but very invasive with a long recovery.

This is a custom 3D printed (actually, laser sintered) intrusion TPA that is used with TADs (mini implant screws on the palate) to intrude the upper molars which closes the open bite.
No jaw surgery, no elastics, just a stable open bite correction!

It's fairly common for us to see young patients with missing adult upper lateral incisors. Traditionally these patients would do orthodontic treatment, finish with spaces for the missing teeth and have to wear a retainer with teeth on it for their teen years, at least until 17 or 18 when they are old enough for implants. Here, we used a TAD supported decide (temporary anchorage device), which allows the posterior teeth to be moved forward to close all the space and the canines are reshaped somewhat as well.
