Treatments
Orthodontics for All Ages
Early orthodontic care helps us guide your child’s smile as they grow. If we spot certain issues early, we can make treatment easier later, like creating space for adult teeth or correcting habits. Not every child needs treatment right away, but a complimentary check-in around age 7 is a great first step.
Braces
These are the reliable silver braces you’ve seen for years. They’re strong, effective, and great for patients of all ages. Today’s metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever, making them a solid choice for a healthy, aligned smile. Plus, you can customize them with fun colors for a look that’s all your own.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a modern alternative to braces that straighten your teeth with a set of removable trays. Each set is custom-made to gently guide your teeth into their ideal position, eliminating the need for wires or braces. Aligners can be removed to make eating, brushing, and flossing easier while keeping your treatment discreet. Here at Compass Orthodontics, we use Angel Aligners – a premium clear aligner system which allows Dr. Sperl to craft your smile using advanced tools that give him full control and flexibility. With consistent wear and guidance from Dr. Sperl, clear aligners can give you the confident smile you’ve been waiting for.
Orthodontic Expanders
Orthodontic expanders are appliances Dr. Sperl might recommend if he sees early signs that your child’s jaw is too small to fit their adult teeth. By gently widening the upper jaw, the expander creates more space to correct crossbites, normalize tongue posture, and help larger permanent teeth come in properly. It’s a simple way to guide your child’s smile early on and avoid bigger issues down the road.
Retainers
After wearing braces or aligners, retainers help keep your teeth in their new position. They’re custom-made to fit your teeth and prevent them from shifting back or becoming crooked again. Dr. Sperl will guide you on when and how to wear them, so all the progress you’ve made lasts for life.
Teeth Whitening
Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, teeth whitening is a simple way to add that final touch to your new smile. At Compass Orthodontics, we offer safe, professional-grade whitening options that help brighten your teeth safely and effectively. Dr. Sperl will guide you on the best time to whiten and help you achieve the best results.
Aesthetic Tooth Contouring
Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Aesthetic tooth contouring is a quick, gentle way to smooth out uneven edges or reshape teeth for a more balanced, polished smile. Dr. Sperl may recommend it at the end of treatment to refine your final results. It’s subtle, simple, and can further enhance your new smile.
Technology
Here at Compass Orthodontics, we use a digital intraoral scanner to capture quick, detailed digital impressions of your teeth without the need for messy molds or uncomfortable trays. It helps Dr. Sperl plan your treatment with more precision and gives you a 3D image of your current and projected smile.
