Braces have been around for centuries, and while they come with their fair share of pros and cons, they have a lo ..read more

Orthodontist or Dentist? Which is Best for Your Invisalign Treatment?
Weber Orthodontics Blog
by Dr. Thomas Weber
3y ago
Hey, everyone, this is Dr. Weber, just coming to you today to talk about Invisalign clear aligners. It is a very popular form of treatment and one that we provide for many of our orthodontic patients. The results we are able to achieve for our patients have been exceptional, but at the end of the day, Invisalign – like braces – is just a tool that your orthodontist uses to help straighten teeth. We think it’s important that you choose an orthodontist to do your Invisalign treatment rather than a dentist. The reason for that is that an orthodontist has an additional two to three years of speci ..read more

Early Orthodontics: Orthodontic Treatment for Children Ages 7 and Up
Weber Orthodontics Blog
by Dr. Thomas Weber
3y ago
Dr. Weber follows the American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation that orthodontic treatment for children should start no later than age 7, or earlier if there is a sign of an orthodontic problem. By age 7, a child has enough permanent teeth to determine whether an orthodontic problem exists or is developing. The goal of early treatment is to correct the growth of the jaw and certain bite problems. Early treatment also helps to make room for permanent teeth to come in properly, lessening the chance of extractions in the future. Some orthodontic conditions that develop at a young age ..read more

What is the difference between clear aligners and clear braces?
Weber Orthodontics Blog
by Dr. Thomas Weber
3y ago
If you search the web for “clear braces,” you’ll probably get mixed results, and some conflicting information on what clear braces actually are. Let’s delve into this, to clear up any confusion and help determine which treatment may be best for you. When someone talks about clear braces, they will be referring to one of two orthodontic treatment options: traditional braces that utilize clear (versus metal) brackets, or Invisalign® clear aligners. Technically, Invisalign® is not braces, but this treatment does get lumped into the same category, since it can correct all the same orthodontic pro ..read more
