What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on improving tooth and jaw alignment. Treatment can move teeth into better positions and improve how the upper and lower teeth come together.
At Jeppson Dental, orthodontic treatment focuses primarily on clear aligner therapy. Instead of brackets and wires, clear aligners use a series of removable trays designed to gradually move the teeth.
Our orthodontic services include:
Our goal is to create a treatment plan based on your individual alignment, bite, oral health, and smile goals.
Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment
Clear aligners provide an alternative to traditional braces for many teens and adults.
Discreet Appearance
Clear aligners are made from transparent material, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
Removable Trays
Unlike fixed braces, clear aligners can be removed when eating, brushing, and flossing.
Personalized Treatment
Your aligners are created specifically for your teeth. A series of trays gradually guides your teeth toward their planned positions.
Easier Oral Hygiene
Because the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally instead of cleaning around brackets and wires.
Fits Your Daily Routine
Clear aligners can be convenient for patients balancing work, school, family, and other daily responsibilities.

Who May Benefit From Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment may be appropriate for patients with concerns about tooth alignment or spacing.
Clear aligner treatment may be used to address issues such as:
An orthodontic consultation allows Dr. Jeppson to evaluate your teeth and bite and determine whether clear aligners fit your needs.
Not every orthodontic concern can be treated with clear aligners. If your needs require a different approach, your dentist can discuss the available options with you.
Invisalign Vs. ClearCorrect
Jeppson Dental offers both Invisalign and ClearCorrect, two established clear aligner systems.
While both use a series of transparent, removable trays to gradually move teeth, the specific treatment approach depends on your individual needs and treatment plan.
The best option depends on your teeth, bite, treatment goals, and the recommendations made during your consultation.
What Is the Clear Aligner Process?
1. Orthodontic Consultation
Your dentist evaluates your teeth, alignment, bite, and overall oral health. We may use digital imaging or scans for treatment planning.
2. Treatment Planning
If clear aligners are appropriate, your dentist plans your treatment around your specific tooth movement and alignment goals.
3. Custom Aligners
We create a series of custom aligners for your treatment plan. You will wear the trays as directed by your dentist and progress through the series.
4. Progress Visits
Periodic appointments allow the dental team to monitor your progress and determine whether adjustments or refinements are needed.
5. Retention
After active orthodontic treatment, retainers help maintain your new tooth positions. Your dentist will recommend ways to maintain your results.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies from patient to patient. Treatment length depends on factors such as the amount and type of tooth movement required, your individual treatment plan, and how consistently you follow your aligner instructions.
During your consultation, Jeppson Dental can explain the expected treatment timeline based on your specific needs.
Orthodontics and Your Oral Health
Orthodontics is about more than creating a straighter smile. Properly aligned teeth can be easier to keep clean, which may make daily brushing and flossing more effective.
Alignment can also affect how your teeth come together when you bite and chew. Addressing alignment concerns can therefore be part of a broader approach to maintaining your oral health.
Because orthodontic treatment works best when teeth and gums are healthy, regular dental exams and preventive care remain important during treatment.
