Flexible Payment Plans & Financing Options
At Wentz Orthodontics, we believe that finances should never be a barrier to a healthy smile. We offer flexible payment plans and convenient financing with CareCredit. Now that's worth smiling about!
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign corrects tooth misalignments by gently and consistently applying pressure to your teeth over a period of time.
The treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners. You wear each set until your teeth have moved as planned, then switch to the next one – continuing this process until your smile is just right.
Virtually Invisible
Invisalign clear aligners are made from a lightweight, transparent material, making them virtually invisible when worn. This makes them an ideal option for those seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment.
Convenient & Removable
Another clear advantage of Invisalign is the convenience of removable aligners. With Invisalign, you can easily remove your aligners to brush and floss your teeth, maintaining your usual oral hygiene routine without any extra hassle.
Plus, because you can remove them to eat, there are no food restrictions. And when special moments come up – like pictures, date nights, or important events – you can simply take your aligners out and feel confident.
Comfortable
It’s normal to experience some mild discomfort as your teeth gradually shift during treatment. The good news is that Invisalign’s smooth design makes it comfortable for most people to wear and easy to get used to. You’re in great hands!
Invisalign & Braces in Fairbanks and North Pole
Our Interior Alaska orthodontic clinic offers treatment with traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners for adults and teens. Founder, Dr. Wentz is an Invisalign Gold Provider with the skill and experience to guide you in determining the right treatment option for you.
Benefits of Braces
Traditional braces use brackets, elastic bands, and wires to gently move and straighten your teeth over time.
Today’s braces aren’t the bulky, heavy metal you might remember from years ago. Modern braces are sleeker and more comfortable than ever before.
Versatility
Braces can correct even the trickiest cases of misalignment by applying firm and steady pressure to gently move your teeth into place.
Efficiency & Cost Effectiveness
Braces can apply firm, consistent force, making them an effective choice for treating moderate to complex orthodontic cases efficiently.
Ease of Compliance
Traditional metal braces are fixed to your teeth with a special adhesive, helping keep your orthodontic treatment on track throughout your daily routine.
