Our
Office
has become the
'the place
to be' for
the orthodontic treatment of many of the kids
and teens in the Chino Valley area of
Southern California. One look at the relaxed
and pleasant ocean and surfing themed surroundings
and you'll see why. Our
adult patients agree
too! |

The kids waiting room
has X-Box, PS2, and
Game Cube computer games featuring the
new EYE TOY which is a great
hit! Overhead a baby dolphin chases flying fish.

| SEPARATORS: |
| Separators
(or spacers) are small, rubber bands that
are stretched to fit between the very back
molars of your teeth to create a small space.
This space is necessary so that bands can
be placed around your molars to anchor your
braces. At first, these separators may be
uncomfortable. Eventually, the space between
your teeth will widen and the separators won’t
be felt at all. At this point the bands can
be placed. If a separator falls out, call
the office to find out if another needs to
be placed. |
 |
|
| ELASTICS: |
| Used
to move teeth in prescribed direction (commonly
connected to molar band and upper ball hook).
Found in numerous colors for better appearance.

| EXPANDERS: |
|
Expanders
are orthopedic appliances that can reshape
teeth and bone. They are commonly used to
correct cross-bites and narrow jaw forms.
While there are many variations, expanders
all serve the same basic purpose. Comprised
of anchors on either side of the upper teeth,
and a piece spanning the roof of the mouth
between, an expander works by applying gradual
outward pressure on the bone and teeth of
the upper jaw. The human skull at birth
is like a puzzle; pieces of fully formed
hard bone are joined by softer connective
tissue. One of these fissures is located
in the roof of the mouth. By exerting outward
pressure on this seam in the bone, a gap
is created which the body naturally fills
in with new bone. This creates a wider upper
jaw.
Follow
your doctor’s instructions regarding adjustment,
care, and cleaning of your expanding appliance.

| TYPES
OF RETAINERS: |
| When
we remove your braces, we will begin the retention
stage of your treatment. Your final orthodontic
result depends on your retainers, so follow through
with the hard work you’ve put in so far. Remember
to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush
your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
