Naugatuck Orthodontist

If you or someone you know is thinking about getting braces or Invisalign, it’s time to look for an orthodontist! Whether you think your teeth are crooked, crowded, or have spacing issues, or if you are struggling with how your jaws relate to one another (for example, an underbite, overbite, or crossbite), an orthodontist can help. And if you live in Naugatuck, CT, you are in luck, because Dr. Ross Aronson of Friedman Aronson Orthodontics is one of the state’s leading board certified orthodontists, and his friendly and skilled office is right around the corner with two convenient locations in Southbury and Waterbury.  

Why choose a board-certified orthodontist

As with anything in healthcare, your best bet for a specialist procedure is a specialist provider. In other words: It’s a specialty for a reason! An orthodontist goes through the same dental school as any other dentist, but then goes on to complete an additional 2-3 years of specialized education that focuses solely on resolving development and alignment issues of the teeth and jaws. This rigorous training ensures they have the expertise to handle any orthodontic issue they are presented with and deliver excellent results. If you are looking for braces or Invisalign in Naugatuck, CT, you want to be sure that you narrow your search to the correct specialty.

Furthermore, board certification adds an extra layer of reassurance. Getting certified by the American Board of Orthodontics is a voluntary achievement that only a select few orthodontists earn. This certification demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of specialty practice and lifelong learning.

The different types of orthodontic treatments offered by Naugatuck orthodontists

Friedman Aronson Orthodontics near Naugatuck offers a range of orthodontic treatments that can help correct dental issues and improve your smile. One of the most popular options is metal braces. These braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into the correct position. While they can be noticeable, they are a reliable and effective way to straighten teeth.

Clear aligners are another popular option offered by orthodontists near Naugatuck. These aligners are made of clear plastic and are custom-made to fit your teeth. They are virtually invisible and are removed for eating and brushing. Clear aligners are a popular choice for adults who want to straighten their teeth without the visibility of traditional braces.

Other orthodontic appliances that orthodontists near Naugatuck may use include palatal expanders. Palatal expanders can help widen the upper jaw to create more room for teeth. Retainers are used after braces or clear aligner treatment to help maintain the new position of teeth.

Are you surprised that age 7 is the ideal time to see an orthodontist? It seems like your child just started losing their baby teeth, doesn't it? Families in and around Southbury, Middlebury, and Waterbury, CT, have the opportunity to be proactive about their children's smile and jaw growth by scheduling a no-cost consultation with Friedman Aronson Orthodontics at the right time.

Guiding optimal growth

Surprising though it may be, the fact that your child now has a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth (AKA mixed dentition) is precisely the reason that age 7 is the best time for an orthodontic consultation. At age 7, your child is also growing rapidly. Although orthodontists are perhaps best known for their role in straightening teeth, their work goes well beyond making a beautiful smile. Orthodontists are specialists in optimizing the relationship of the teeth and jaws. By taking your child to the orthodontist at the right time, it is possible to spot and address potential growth concerns.

The window of opportunity

Your child’s mouth and face are still developing at age 7, which means there is time to identify and intercept problems to guide optimal growth. Of course growth does not end once your child turns 8, but the window of opportunity for guiding optimal growth can be quite narrow, depending on the issue. Once face and jaw bones have finished growing, it can be very hard (and sometimes not possible) to achieve the same results that early orthodontic interventions allow.

Intervention isn't always needed

However, do not be alarmed! A consultation at Friedman Aronson Orthodontics does not mean your child will start treatment. Dr. Aronson is a firm believer in conservative, evidence-based orthodontics. At age 7, he is specifically looking for issues related to jaw size, poor placement of permanent teeth, and harmful oral habits. If any of these are present, intervention or ongoing observation may be recommended. If all is developing as it should, he will happily give you that reassurance along with some fun chapstick as our thank-you for stopping by his orthodontic office in Southbury or Waterbury, CT.
