The team at Fretty Orthodontics welcomes patients of all ages to experience comprehensive orthodontic care in a friendly, comfortable environment. Dr. Fretty provides state-of-the-art orthodontic services, including Clarity™ clear braces and the Invisalign® system.
After a preliminary consultation to assess each patient’s specific dental condition and long-term goals, our experienced orthodontists will make recommendations to help patients decide which treatment plan makes the most sense. We offer traditional metal braces as well as clear braces for more subtle straightening. Dr. Fretty is also an authority in the Invisalign® System of clear aligners. She has helped patients achieve the smiles of their dreams. We also offer Invisalign Teen to adolescents who meet the qualifications for this innovative treatment option. To correct overbite and other conditions more serious than misaligned teeth, we also utilize the Herbst appliance and other appliances as needed. There are also no impressions for Invisalign at Fretty Orthodontics because of our iTero Digital Scanner that uses 3D technology to map your mouth.
When it comes to orthodontic care, Dr. Fretty and the team at Fretty Orthodontics are the experts. We promise to go above and beyond your expectations in order to give you or your child a straighter, more beautiful smile!
BRACES
Advances in technology have allowed orthodontists to offer a variety of options to straighten teeth. Traditional metal braces are still the most common choice, but clear braces, such as Clarity™ cosmetic braces and Invisalign® clear aligners, are growing in popularity among teenagers and adults hoping to obtain straighter teeth a little less noticeably. We were the first orthodontic office in East Texas to utelize the ITero scanner.
METAL BRACES
Metal braces are the most common orthodontic treatment choice. They are made of high-grade stainless steel and, with progress, have become smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive. Traditional braces require patients to schedule routine appointments, so the orthodontist can make adjustments to ensure the braces are performing correctly. Patients may choose from a wide variety of colored bands that add a little personality to the straightening process. Even many adults use colors.
CLARITY BRACES
Thanks to their clear appearance, Clarity™ Advanced Ceramic Braces allow patients to achieve straighter smiles with a little more subtlety. Made by 3M from a hard ceramic material that blends with the color of your teeth, Clarity braces are significantly less conspicuous than traditional metal braces. Clarity braces are equally as durable as metal braces, and they won’t stain or discolor. It’s “clear” why so many patients choose to straighten their teeth with Clarity braces.
INVISALIGN
Invisalign® is the answer to correcting misaligned teeth without the use of conspicuous metal wires and brackets. Many patients want straighter smiles, but can’t imagine spending 18 to 24 months with traditional braces. For this reason, we may recommend Invisalign® clear aligners so patients can straighten their teeth discreetly.
Invisalign® is available to adult and teenage orthodontic patients who want to straighten their teeth almost invisibly.
ADULT BRACES
Kids aren’t the only ones who benefit from orthodontic treatment. Even for adults, orthodontic work can radically transform smiles and improve self-esteem. Plus, crooked teeth not only impact your appearance, but they can also contribute to gum recession, bone loss, tooth decay and irregular destruction of tooth enamel and surfaces.
