Welcome to Forsman Orthodontics

Your smile is your introduction to the world. You want to make that introduction as positive as it can be.

Forsman Orthodontics can help.

At Forsman, we believe orthodontics is about more than just straightening teeth. It is about faces - beautiful, smiling faces that enhance your health, appearance, and give you that extra boost of self-confidence.

We're excited you have chosen our office for your orthodontic care, as it gives us the opportunity to get to know the person behind your smile. We want your orthodontic experience to be as enjoyable as possible, which is why we have made attentive, personal service the foundation of our practice. At Forsman Orthodontics, we offer a professional atmosphere staffed with friendly, caring, experienced people who will make you feel at home.

Smiles For Every Age!

Getting an Early Start

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This is especially important, as during the ages of 5 through 11 baby teeth start to fall out and permanent teeth come in. During this period, the bones and muscles in the face and jaw are very responsive to corrective orthodontic treatment.

When necessary, an early start can not only fix problems, but also prevent problems that could develop later in life. Early treatment can significantly reduce the need to remove permanent teeth. Additionally, the positive results that can be achieved when steps are taken early may not be possible once the face and jaws stop growing.

The Teen Years

At Forsman Orthodontics, we have braces as original and creative as the teen behind the smile. We offer clear porcelain, stainless steel, Invisalign, 18-carat gold, and even state-of-the-art, non-visible, behind-the-teeth lingual braces. To keep things interesting, we can even change the color at every visit.

We know teens can be self-conscious about braces, which is why we offer so many options and strive to make the experience as easy as possible. Plus, the promise of a beautiful smile is a great incentive. Taking care of orthodontic problems during the teen years can provide an extra boost of confidence going into the adult world.

The Beauty of Adult Orthodontics

However long you wait, we can still help you with your orthodontic treatment. Almost 30% of our patients are adults, and the results are just as successful as they are for our younger patients. We can make your smile beautiful no matter your age.

While adult orthodontic work may take a few months longer, the process is as effective and can end a lifetime of self-consciousness or help bring relief from the pains of excessive crowding, poor bites, or TMJ dysfunction.

With the development of gentler wires and less visible braces, more and more adults are taking advantage of orthodontic work to improve their smiles.

Regardless of whether you want to improve your appearance or correct a bite that has contributed to dental problems, come in, and find out what we can do for you.
