Orthodontic treatment typically begins with a consultation, where the orthodontist examines the bite, takes images, and explains the available options. Knecht Orthodontics offers free consultations, allowing Highlands families to receive an assessment and treatment recommendation before committing to care. This initial step is crucial in determining whether traditional braces or Invisalign clear aligners are the most suitable approach for each patient's needs.
The practice treats patients with both traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners. Braces remain a common choice for complex bite corrections, while clear aligners appeal to teens and adults who prefer a less visible option. The decision between the two depends on the individual case, which is thoroughly evaluated during the consultation.
Knecht Orthodontics employs advanced technology to enhance treatment outcomes. The office uses iTero digital scanning instead of conventional impressions, KLOwen custom digital brackets, and CBCT imaging for three-dimensional views of the teeth and jaws. Additionally, the practice operates in-house 3D printing, allowing for precise and efficient treatment planning. Dr. Knecht also specializes in airway orthodontics, considering how jaw development relates to breathing, which can have significant implications for overall health.
