Begin Early
Dr. Bohman believes that there is a benefit to early treatment of certain orthodontic problems. We routinely see patients between 7-10 years old to monitor their growth and development. Dr. Bohman will only recommend an early phase of orthodontic treatment when necessary. By monitoring the development of our younger patient’s smiles, we are more successful in treating them. Orthodontics should be age specific to each individual patient.
In addition to our free consultation, if your child is not ready for braces, we will monitor their growth and development until the time is right at no charge!

Invisalign
Invisalign treatment includes a series of plastic clear aligners that move your teeth through small, incremental movements. You’ll wear a customized set of aligners and change to new ones every week or two until eventually your teeth are straight and beautiful. Many adults LOVE this option as you can remove them to eat or for special speaking/social events.
Unlike braces, Invisalign has no metal bands or wires. Invisalign is effective for a wide range of smiles. We'll create your individual treatment plan using Invisalign's clear, custom-molded aligners.

Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a type of orthodontic treatment used to correct severe cases that include bad bites, jaw bone abnormalities, and malocclusion. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the nine recognized dental specialties, and it focuses on treating complex craniofacial cases that involve the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. If you need surgical orthodontics, Dr. Bohman will work with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to ensure that you receive the best care possible.
Appliances
In order to create your perfect smile, often appliances can be used alone or in conjunction with braces. Alone they can often prepare you for a shorter time in braces or used with braces can speed treatment time and improve overall results. Your ultimate transformation can only be reached if the patient consistently utilizes their appliances such as wearing rubber bands, headgear, etc.
