Early Help for
Healthy Smiles
Interceptive treatment is all about helping your child’s smile grow the right way from the start. At Adirondack Orthodontics, our doctors use safe, proven tools to make space, fix bite issues, and support healthy jaw and tooth development—before bigger problems show up later.
Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE)
An RPE gently widens the upper jaw to create more room for teeth. It’s usually used in kids before the jaw stops growing. This small device can reduce crowding and improve alignment early on.
If your child has early signs of crowding or a crossbite, our doctors may recommend an RPE. It’s a simple tool that can lead to big results later.
2x4 Appliance for Single Tooth Alignment
When one tooth is out of place, early treatment can help avoid longer, more complicated care later. A 2x4 appliance—braces on four front teeth and two back molars—can gently guide that tooth into position.
This setup keeps the rest of the smile growing naturally and lets us fix the issue before full braces are needed.
Lower Lingual Holding Arch (LLHA)
An LLHA is a small wire appliance that holds space open in the lower jaw after baby teeth fall out. This helps permanent teeth come in where they should—without crowding.
LLHAs are especially helpful if baby teeth come out too soon or if a child’s mouth is tight on space. Our doctors keep a close eye on growth and recommend this tool when it helps create a smoother, healthier path for adult teeth.
Invisalign® Palatal Expander (IPE)
The Invisalign® Palatal Expander is a modern, wire-free way to widen the upper jaw for kids ages 6–11. It uses 3D-printed, removable expanders that gently make room for adult teeth.
This option is easy to clean, custom-fit, and made for comfort. It’s a great choice for families looking for a low-stress, less noticeable way to guide healthy growth.
Custom Treatment for Every Smile
No two smiles are the same—and your treatment shouldn’t be either. At Adirondack Orthodontics, our doctors offer a full range of options to fit your goals, lifestyle, and timeline. Whether you're a teen, adult, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you choose the path that fits you best.
Modern Metal Braces
Metal braces are a time-tested way to straighten teeth and fix bite issues. Today’s versions are smaller, more comfortable, and work faster than ever.
They’re a great option for patients of all ages who want reliable, effective results with consistent progress throughout treatment.
Clear Braces
Clear braces work just like metal braces but use ceramic brackets that blend in with your teeth. They’re strong, subtle, and ideal for anyone who wants a lower-profile look.
Many teens and adults choose clear braces for the perfect balance of power and appearance.
Clear Aligners (like Invisalign®)
Clear aligners are custom-made trays that gently shift teeth over time. They’re removable, comfortable, and nearly invisible—making them a favorite for adults and busy teens.
With no wires or brackets, it’s easy to eat, brush, and keep your daily routine.
Retainers
Once treatment ends, retainers help keep your new smile in place. We offer several types, including clear and fixed options, depending on your needs.
Wearing your retainer as directed protects all the hard work you’ve put into your smile—so it lasts a lifetime.
