A Beautiful Smile is Fast and Easy with In-Ovation Braces!

At the office of Dr. Wendy Katz DDS, we are proud to offer our patients a variety of orthodontic treatments. Today, we’d like to discuss with you the advantages of treatment using In-Ovation System Braces.

What are In-Ovation system braces?

In-Ovation braces use free-sliding technology to provide a more comfortable braces experience while achieving that beautiful smile that you have always wanted faster than traditional braces.

What’s the difference between In-Ovation braces and traditional braces?

Traditional braces use elastics and ties to hold wires into place and need to be tightened periodically. This causes slower movement of the teeth and discomfort due to friction and pressure. In-Ovation braces do not use elastics or ties and do not require tightening. They instead use free-sliding technology which results in little or no pressure while your teeth are gently moved into place.

If you are considering orthodontic treatment in the Marietta, East Cobb, or Sandy Springs area, give our office a call to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Katz where she’ll be able to answer any questions you have about In-Ovation braces or any other orthodontic treatment we have available at our office.

Kids Getting Braces at a Younger Age

Dr. Wendy Katz will tell you that braces were originally considered to be best appropriate for teens. But these days, kids as old as seven are beginning their orthodontic treatment. Because preadolescent kids are typically not self-conscious, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists suggest it could be a good idea to start early.

Experts, however, say it depends on the treatment required. Some children who get braces at an early age end up in a second phase of treatment, and end up having braces well into their teenage years despite starting young.

Most orthodontic treatment begins between ages nine and 14, and the folks at the AAO estimate most orthodontic treatment lasts from one to three years, with two years being the average. It’s important, however, that children be screened no later than age seven for Dr. Katz to assess what the best age for treatment is.

Hope this helps! Give us a call if you have any questions about your child’s treatment!

Thanks to Invisalign®, Mom and Dad can have a perfect smile, too!

Hey parents! Focusing on your kids' teeth and oral health so much that you're neglecting your own? If you've been thinking wistfully about having your own set of perfect teeth, our staff at the orthodontic office of Dr. Wendy Katz can help! We are specially trained to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign.

This course of treatment consists of a set of clear aligners that are molded to fit your teeth using a proprietary technology. You wear them all day and night, except for meals, brushing, and flossing – when you can easily slip them out to make eating and cleaning a snap!

Because they're clear, your teeth will be steadily straightening – and no one will know it but you!

Please give us a call to set up a consultation, so we can discuss the specifics of your treatment.
