Orthodontics in Meridian, ID
Living with crooked teeth can be embarrassing and frustrating, whether you’re a teenager or an adult.
We offer both traditional braces and Invisalign clear braces. Every patient is different, which means each patient requires a different treatment plan. We are pleased that we can offer both of these treatment options to meet your teeth straightening needs!
The Goal of Orthodontics
Whether you choose traditional braces or Invisalign clear aligners for your teeth straightening treatment, the goal is the same. We want to give you a straight smile that will improve the look of your smile as well as your oral health.
Straighter smiles are not simply more beautiful; straight smiles are healthier, too. Teeth that are straight have fewer places for bacteria and decay to hide. They are also easier to clean as well.
Whichever option you choose, we will help you get the straight smile you need and want. The severity of your orthodontic needs may require one option or the other, but both treatment options can help with:
- Misaligned teeth.
- Underbites.
- Overbites.
- Crossbites.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Overcrowded teeth.
We make recommendations for treatments on a case-by-case basis. We will evaluate your unique needs and help you decide on a treatment plan that will correct your issues and fit into your lifestyle.
No matter what your needs are, we want your dental visit to be as convenient and comfortable as possible, so schedule an appointment for your whole family at our office today!
Differences Between Braces and Invisalign
Traditional braces have been around for hundreds of years. This method is a tried-and-true way to correct a wide variety of orthodontic issues. There are even conditions that require traditional braces rather than other orthodontic options.
Dental researchers invented Invisalign in 1997. The system uses customized clear aligners that fit the contours of the patient’s teeth. Some patients prefer to use this system because they like the subtle nature of the treatment. This is also the only orthodontic option that is removable, which some patients really enjoy.

Orthodontics in Meridian: The Process
Here is what you should expect during your first few appointments and during the orthodontics treatment process:
Initial Consultation
Before you are fitted with any orthodontics, you will need to meet with your dentist to determine treatment goals as well as methods.
Invisalign retainers are best for less complicated orthodontic treatments. If you have a severely misaligned bite or jaw trouble, traditional braces might help you to correct the problem more effectively.
Personalized Treatment Plan
You will need to come in for an appointment to have your teeth scanned, so we can create a virtual 3D image of your teeth. This image will be used in conjunction with treatment software to create your plan. Patients will be able to preview their results by seeing how their treatments will change their smiles.
Receiving Your Aligners
Depending on your unique treatment plan, we will place traditional braces or have Invisalign clear aligners created for you. Either way, we will help you get the most out of your treatment by giving you instructions for proper care.
Progress Tracking
At Millennium Family Dental, we will track your progress throughout your treatment. Over time, your teeth will gradually shift into place for straight smiles you will love.
Retaining Your Look
After your teeth have moved into their final position, you will need a retainer to keep your teeth in place. Because the teeth tend to gravitate to their original positions, wearing either a nightly retainer or a permanent retainer is crucial to maintaining your dental alignment.
We are here to straighten your smiles at Millennium Family Dental!
We’ll give you a
reason to smile!
