A Well-Aligned Bite and a Healthy Smile

Important for your overall health & well-being

Orthodontic treatment plays an important role in achieving a well-aligned bite and a healthy smile. Whether you are starting treatment as a teen or an adult, it’s never too late to invest in your oral health and boost your self-confidence. Orthodontic treatment can enhance your appearance and help you to maintain oral health and function. A properly aligned bite can also reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and jaw problems.

At Deerwood Orthodontics Franklin, we offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic solutions to address a variety of dental concerns. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through your treatment journey with personalized care and support. We try to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible for our patients. Whether you choose traditional braces, clear ceramic braces, or Invisalign, we are here to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

The staff at the Franklin Deerwood orthodontics office gave me excellent care. They were genuinely interested in my life and how my braces fit into my lifestyle, especially when I got pregnant in the middle of my orthodontics care.

Our Orthodontic Services Help Adults and Teens

Traditional Braces

A classic orthodontic solution

Traditional metal braces are a reliable way to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues. Typically, we use them to treat complex cases of crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignment. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires that we adjust periodically to gradually move teeth into the right places.

At Deerwood Orthodontics Franklin, we ensure that your experience with traditional braces is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our team is here to guide you through every step of the process, providing expert care and support so you can achieve optimal results.

Ceramic Braces

A more discreet braces option

Clear ceramic braces offer the same effectiveness as traditional metal braces, but they aren’t as immediately obvious compared to traditional braces. These braces blend in with your natural teeth, making them far less noticeable. They are an ideal choice for patients who want a more aesthetic option. Clear ceramic braces are suitable for both teens and adults who want a straighter smile without the prominence of metal braces. Whatever choice you make, our team is committed to delivering personalized care and ensuring your treatment results in the best possible outcomes for your needs.

Invisalign™

Invisible aligners for discreet treatment

Invisalign is a modern and innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. These custom aligners provide a comfortable and precise fit. Invisalign is an excellent choice for teens and adults who want a virtually invisible orthodontic solution instead of one that requires metal brackets and wires. Our team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs and lifestyle.

Jaw Pain & Wrinkle Treatments

Experience the difference at our Franklin office

Our jaw pain and wrinkle-reduction treatment can work in a variety of ways depending on your goals and our approach to application. Deerwood Orthodontics Franklin offers wrinkle-minimizing treatments to remove fine lines and wrinkles as well as treatment to relieve jaw pain, tension headaches, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain.

Curodont™

Treatment for white spots

Curodont is an innovative treatment that addresses a common concern for many patients: white spots on the teeth. This treatment works by remineralizing the enamel, reducing the appearance of white spots, and protecting against cavities. Our team will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best course of action to achieve optimal results. Curodont is a gentle, noninvasive treatment suitable for patients of all ages.

Teeth Whitening

Brighten your smile

A bright, white smile can significantly enhance your confidence and overall appearance. At Deerwood Orthodontics Franklin, we offer a take-home teeth-whitening option to help you achieve the beautiful smile you desire. Our professional whitening treatments are designed to effectively remove stains and discoloration, giving you a fresh and youthful look. We will work with you to determine the best whitening solution for your needs and ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

Mouth Guards & Athletic Guards

Protect your smile during sports

Whether you’re a serious athlete or just enjoy playing sports on the weekend, protecting your teeth is essential. At Deerwood Orthodontics Franklin, we offer mouth guards to keep your teeth safe from harm during sporting activities. These guards are essential for preventing dental injuries and ensuring your precious smile stays intact.

Custom-Made Nightguards

Custom solutions for nighttime protection

Nightguards are custom-made oral appliances that protect your teeth while you’re fast asleep. We create our nightguards using digital impressions for a perfect fit. They protect your teeth from grinding and clenching, preserving your oral health and the long-term integrity of your smile.

Replacement Retainers

Keep your smile in place

We offer three main types of retainers to keep your smile in line post-treatment. These include:

  • Traditional Hawley retainers: These are durable and adjustable for long-term use.
  • Clear retainers: These retainers are a discreet and convenient option with same-day replacement available.
  • Vivera retainers: Made by Invisalign, these retainers are known for their comfort and durability.

Your orthodontist will suggest what type of retainer is best suited for your specific needs.

Oral Healthcare Aids

Enhance at-home hygiene

At Deerwood Orthodontics Franklin, we provide specialized oral hygiene aids designed to support your at-home brushing and flossing routine. These will maximize the benefits of your orthodontic treatment and ensure you achieve the best results possible. Our entire team is committed to helping you keep your smile bright and healthy during—and after—orthodontic treatment.
