Treatments for All Ages
At WingHaven® Orthodontics, Dr. Cheryl L. Held creates customized treatment plans for children, teens, and adults. No matter your age, you have options!
Smart Braces
Dr. Held uses the latest technology of self-ligating smart braces, so there’s never a need to have your braces tightened! You can enjoy the radiant smile that you have always wanted more quickly than traditional braces and without the need for unsanitary and inefficient ties.
With light, gentle forces, the fast track to a perfect smile has never been more comfortable at WingHaven® Orthodontics.
Smart Clear Braces
Many patients around O’Fallon, MO, want a beautiful smile and also want to make their braces less noticeable. Clear braces from WingHaven® Orthodontics include ceramic brackets, space-age wires, and various auxiliaries.
The ceramic brackets are clear, tooth-colored, and less noticeable than conventional brackets made of metal because they blend in with the color of your teeth. However, they work the same way as metal braces do.
Invisalign®
Clear appliances (such as Invisalign®) use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. No one can tell you are wearing them because they are invisible!
Not only are the aligners invisible, but they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth.
The aligners are comfortable and contain no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. Aligners are great for adults and teens to straighten their teeth without metal braces.
Retainers
Retainers are an essential part of orthodontic treatment. At WingHaven® Orthodontics, you’ll receive a set of retainers to keep the very smile you worked so hard for.
We love sharing the most advanced after-treatment options for you to choose from! All it takes is a little commitment on your end, but together we make it easy.
The first set of upper and lower retainers are included as part of your orthodontic treatment cost at WingHaven® Orthodontics. Our clear, durable retainers appear nearly invisible to the naked eye, need only be worn 10 to 12 hours per day, and don’t significantly affect your speech.
Expanders
We offer state-of-the-art self-activating expanders to widen your jaw by applying gentle pressure to your teeth and jaws.
We use these keyless for young patients who need to fix their jaw development. Doing so allows teeth to come into their proper positions and to coordinate the size and shape of one jaw to the other.
Expanders we use:
- DynaFlex MAX 2000
- DynaFlex DMAX 2000
- DynaFlex MSX 2000 (E-Arch)
Dynaflex MAX 2000
Dynaflex DMAX 2000
