Like all areas in science and technology, orthodontics has made
leaps and bounds in recent years. The old "X-ray" machines are
replaced at updated offices by digital imaging. Although x-rays
at orthodontics are minimal, less is best, and digital is the way
to go!

Comfort and convenience should be maximized. Now
Nelson Hersh DDS, MS
available are high-technology wires, which move the teeth
Licensed Specialist
with light, gentle and efficient movements. This allows for
shorter treatment in braces and longer intervals between appointments. These wires are
activated by mouth temperatures, and if uncomfortable, drink something cool and feel instant
comfort. Heavy forces are a technique of the past. Good-bye to headgears! No longer needed.

Offices can be made fun for kids and the adults who bring them. Kids no longer have to
complain about going to the orthodontist, but maybe grumble about leaving. Orthodontics is
a service industry. Parents and children should have a nice and relaxed environment. Office
design that is open, updated, and an orthodontist that is friendly and available can make
major differences. You and your kid should look forward to going to the office, not as a
chore. Talk with the orthodontist at the initial consultation and this should be available at no
charge.

Although cavities and decalcification are always a concern, new products reduce this risk.
Cements can be utilized that have fluoride releasing action to help strengthen the enamel.
There are products that the orthodontist can provide or prescribe to assist in oral hygiene.
There is even an application known as "cavity shield" that can be applied by the orthodontist.
Of course, these are all adjunctive as regular cleanings and good oral hygiene are imperative.

For more information you may call our office at our new state-of-the-art facility in
West Bloomfield at (248) 926-4100.
