Many people experience dental problems such as poorly spaced teeth, TMJ, or misaligned bites that can be corrected with orthodontics. Family First Dentistry in Anchorage, Alaska, is more than a family and general dentistry—they also offer complimentary orthodontic consultations to help patients determine if treatments such as braces are a good solution. If you dislike the idea of traditional metal braces, Family First Dentistry can also recommend alternatives, including Incognito™ Braces, Invisalign®, and AcceleDent® technology.

Incognito Braces perform the same corrections as traditional braces with one major difference: they’re hidden behind your teeth, so no one will even notice you’re wearing them. Incognito braces are installed by a dentist, who places brackets and wires on the backs of your teeth. Using advanced technology, the braces then move your teeth into the proper positions until the desired results are achieved. Because of their custom design and fit, Incognito Braces are comfortable, and they don’t have to be removed the same way as some treatments.

Invisalign, also known as clear braces, are another alternative to consider. These transparent aligners are removable and meant to be worn for certain hours of the day for an extended period of time. As a third option, AcceleDent technology is a hands-free device that speeds up results by as much as 50% over other options. Using an activator and a mouthpiece, the system sends gentle pulses to accelerate bone remodeling.

Not every dentistry practice offers flexible orthodontic treatments, but Family First Dentistry offers Incognito Braces, Invisalign, and AcceleDent technology to resolve crooked teeth, improper bites, and other misalignment problems. During your complimentary orthodontics consultation, one of Family First Dentistry’s dentists will examine your mouth, perform tests, and then discuss your options for treatment.
