The Most Popular Treatment For Your Best Smile
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we are thrilled to offer Pitts21 self-ligating braces, available in both metal and clear options, providing a modern and efficient solution for orthodontic care. These advanced braces are designed to cater to your unique lifestyle and aesthetic preferences while delivering exceptional results.
Pitts21 self-ligating braces are engineered with a cutting-edge mechanism that minimizes friction and allows teeth to move freely. This results in faster treatment times, enabling you to achieve your dream smile more swiftly than with traditional braces. Moreover, the low-profile brackets ensure a more comfortable experience, reducing pressure on your teeth and gums, and making your orthodontic journey as pleasant as possible.
We understand that aesthetics play a crucial role in choosing the right braces. That’s why Pitts21 braces are available in both traditional metal and discreet clear options. Metal braces offer a classic look with robust durability, while clear braces provide a subtle, almost invisible appearance, ideal for those who prefer a less noticeable orthodontic treatment option.
With Pitts21 braces, adjustments are more streamlined, reducing the number of visits to our practice without compromising on the quality of care. This convenience is perfect for busy individuals who wish to spend less time at the orthodontist while still receiving exceptional treatment.
Whether you opt for the metallic clarity of traditional braces or the understated elegance of clear braces, Pitts21 self-ligating braces offer the flexibility to suit your needs and lifestyle. Our team is here to help you make the best choice for your orthodontic goals, ensuring you receive a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your expectations.
Smile Arc Protection
Smile Arc Protection is a revolutionary technique integrated into the Pitts21 system, focusing on the aesthetic alignment of your smile. By carefully placing the brackets to follow the natural curvature of the lips, this approach enhances the visual appeal and balance of your smile.
The strategic alignment of brackets creates a seamless and harmonious smile, highlighting the natural beauty of your teeth. It ensures that as your teeth straighten, they also form an arc that complements your facial features, resulting in a more natural and pleasing appearance.
Beyond aesthetics, Smile Arc Protection contributes to functional improvements. By aligning the teeth along the natural curve, it enhances the bite and overall function of the teeth, promoting better oral health and a more comfortable bite.
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, our board-certified orthodontists bring unparalleled expertise to every treatment plan. We are dedicated to providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each patient, ensuring optimal results and a rewarding orthodontic experience. Our commitment to excellence and patient satisfaction sets us apart as a high-end, boutique practice.

OTHER TREATMENTS
FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD
Early Orthodontic Treatment
What is the difference between early orthodontic treatment and regular orthodontic treatment, and why might my child need early treatment? How will early treatment benefit my child in the long run?
These are just a few of the questions surrounding the topic of early orthodontic treatment for children. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist as early as age seven. At this point, our team will evaluate whether your child will need orthodontic treatment.
Early treatment (also known as Phase One) typically begins around age eight or nine (Phase Two will begin around age 11 or older). The goal of early treatment is to correct the growth of the jaw and certain bite problems, such as underbite. Early treatment also helps to make room for permanent teeth to come in properly, lessening the chance of extractions in the future.
How can you tell if your child may need orthodontic treatment? There are a few key signs to look out for:
• Early or late loss of baby teeth (your child should typically start losing teeth around age five, and will have all permanent teeth around age 13)
• Difficulty chewing and/or biting
• Mouth breathing
• Your child continues sucking his or her thumb after age five
• Speech impediments
• Protruding teeth (the top teeth and the bottom teeth extend away from each other)
• Teeth that don’t come together in a normal manner or even at all
• Shifting of the jaw when your child opens or closes his or her mouth (crossbites)
• Crowded front teeth around age seven or eight
Gummy Smile Correction
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we understand that a gummy smile can affect your confidence and how you feel about your smile. A balanced smile, where the teeth and gums are in harmony, can make a world of difference in your appearance and self-esteem. Our practice offers effective solutions to correct gummy smiles, including surgical methods for severe cases or braces, clear aligners, TADs, and laser treatment for most.
As part of our orthodontic treatment, we incorporate Smile Arc Protection, a technique designed to enhance the natural curvature of your smile. By positioning the upper front teeth in a slightly more elevated and aesthetically pleasing arc, we can reduce the appearance of a gummy smile. This method ensures that your smile looks more natural and balanced, with your teeth taking center stage rather than your gums.
Gingivectomy Treatment
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we take pride in offering comprehensive solutions for all your orthodontic needs, including specialized treatments like gingivectomy. This procedure is ideal for patients with excess gum tissue, which can create the appearance of a “gummy” smile or make teeth seem shorter than they actually are. A gingivectomy not only enhances the aesthetics of your smile but also improves oral health by making it easier to keep your gums and teeth clean, reducing the risk of gum disease.
TADs
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we are committed to utilizing advanced techniques and orthodontic technologies to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients. One such innovative approach is the use of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs). These small but powerful tools enhance the precision and efficiency of orthodontic treatments, allowing for more effective results.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small, biocompatible screws or plates that are temporarily placed in the mouth to provide additional support during orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces, which rely on the teeth themselves for anchorage, TADs create a stable anchor point that allows for more controlled and precise tooth movement.
TADs are used to:
• Facilitate Complex Movements — By providing a stable anchorage point, TADs make it possible to achieve complex tooth movements that might be challenging with conventional braces alone.
• Reduce the Need for Extractions — In some cases, TADs can help create the space needed for proper tooth alignment without requiring the removal of teeth.
• Enhance Treatment Efficiency — TADs can speed up the overall treatment process by allowing for more direct and controlled adjustments.
The placement of TADs is a simple, minimally invasive procedure performed in our office. The device is gently screwed into the bone of the mouth, usually in the upper or lower jaw. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort during the procedure. Once in place, TADs are used as a fixed anchor point for orthodontic appliances, and they are typically removed once their purpose is fulfilled.
