Palate Expander

A palate expander is used to widen the upper jaw so that the bottom and upper teeth will fit together better.

Palate expanders are most commonly used in children. Some adults may have to use one but the effects of the expansion are more uncomfortable.

The expansion of the mouth may result in a gap in the teeth but that is usually fixed with Invisalign or braces.

Sleep Apnea Therapy

Stanley Dentistry is pleased to offer services to help with sleep apnea. Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea is made with a sleep study. The study can be done in a sleep lab or in the comfort of your home. Once diagnosed correctly, treatment options for OSA will depend on the severity. Mild to moderate cases of OSA or snoring can be treated with a simple oral appliance that is worn in the mouth during sleep.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are made of composite materials that are placed on the front of your teeth and virtually disappear in your smile. They are very strong and generally do not stain. These braces use a ligature elastic to help the teeth move.

Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces are braces with brackets that do not need ligatures (the small bands that hold the wire in place). You may also hear them referred to as “speed braces”. The brackets on the teeth have a “trap door” that holds the arch wire in place.These braces are very small and very hard to notice.

Invisalign Braces

Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. Stanley Dentistry creates customized aligners that fit around the teeth without braces. Patients will need to wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing only to eat, drink, brush and floss. As each aligner is replaced with the next in the series, the teeth will move, gradually, each week until they are in the final alignment prescribed.
