Orthodontics For Children, Teens, & Adults

We want all of our patients to have beautiful smiles. Unlike some Monroe dental practices, we provide orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth for better oral hygiene, create a more aesthetic smile, and promote proper breathing and airway development. Adults, teens, and children have unique orthodontic needs, and we have the expertise to address them.

Straight Teeth Facilitate Oral Hygiene
Crowded teeth, gapped teeth, a misaligned bite — all of these issues make daily oral hygiene more challenging. Some patients have difficulty flossing because of tight contacts. Others see uneven or premature tooth wear due to an incorrect bite. No matter the issue, straightening teeth with traditional braces or clear aligners can help. Straight teeth make brushing and flossing more effective, eliminating more plaque buildup. A properly aligned bite prevents extra wear and tear on tooth enamel, lowering the chances of chips, cracks, and other damage.

Straight Teeth Are More Aesthetic
Wishing for a more beautiful smile is not selfish or superficial. The appearance of your smile contributes to your self-esteem and self-image. Straight teeth can give you the confidence to smile in pictures, engage in more social activities, and simply enjoy life more. We encourage patients who would like to straighten their teeth for purely cosmetic purposes for these reasons. For our patients who want to straighten their teeth discreetly, we have Invisalign® clear aligners.

Better Breathing
Orthodontic treatment is an essential step in promoting proper breathing and preventing airway problems in growing children as well as adults. A narrow or poorly developed airway can cause major health concerns without the proper intervention. For instance, children with airway development issues are more prone to respiratory infections, allergies, and asthma. Adults with a narrow airway often develop sleep apnea. Fortunately, Dr. Eckdhal provides airway-focused orthodontic treatment and can address these issues.

At Eckdhal Family Dentistry, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners to straighten teeth and perform assessments for traditional braces, working with the area’s top orthodontists. We also provide custom orthotics to treat the underlying causes of breathing problems and foster proper, natural facial development in children.

For our existing patients in the Monroe, WI area who are interested in any of our orthodontic services, our team is here to answer your questions and address your concerns with a customized treatment plan using the latest technology and treatment techniques. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
