Our Philosophy
In today’s world of orthodontic
treatment, there is a tendency by practitioners to universally impose a
particular treatment modality such as Damon® System or Invisalign® when
recommending care.
At Montville Orthodontic Associates, we
believe that every case is unique and therefore, should not be applied
with a wide brush.
Our philosophy is to approach
each individual as a unique set of orthodontic challenges.
We draw on a broad range of techniques,
hardware and treatment philosophies.
This, combined with over 25 years of
experience both in practice and academics, we work to prescribe the most
appropriate treatment technique for each individual case.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the dental specialty, which is concerned with the
diagnosis and treatment of tooth and jaw growth abnormalities. A
malocclusion (improper bite) may exhibit itself as protruding teeth,
spaced or crowded teeth, facial imbalance or any combination of the above.
There are
many treatment options to choose from. The metal brackets we use offer the
highest level of comfort and biomechanical design available today.
Aesthetic ceramic braces have
dramatically less metal show. in some
adult cases, removable “invisible” aligners
can align teeth without braces. Our orthodontists are also
extensively trained in treating cases that involve severe jaw deformity
and require a combination of surgery and orthodontic treatment.
If you
think that you or a family member could benefit from orthodontics, please
call for an appointment. There is no charge for an initial consultation
with Dr. Antonellis.
