The latest orthodontic advances.

There are always new and exciting developments being made in the field of orthodontics. Part of what makes Dr. Mergen’s care so unique is that he stays on top of these innovations.

Digital imaging — To preview an approximation of what your beautiful new smile will look like before any orthodontic treatment begins.

Nickel-titanium and thermal-activated archwires — These advanced wires use a gentle continuous force for less patient discomfort and more efficient tooth movement.

Clear braces — These braces bond to the outside surfaces of your teeth, similar to conventional braces. However, their clear or natural color gives them a less noticeable appearance. Dr. Mergen offers clear braces for both children and adults. However, conventional and silver braces are available for patients who want them.

In-office lab work — Performing lab work such as creating retainers and expanders allows Dr. Mergen to have complete control over many laboratory procedures. Of course, this means more precise and comfortable appliances for you, not to mention a faster turnaround.

The finest materials — You’ll be happy to know that Dr. Mergen uses top-quality materials, adhesives and appliances.

Advanced sterilization procedures — To ensure that your dental visits are afforded a germ-free environment, Dr. Mergen uses advanced sterilization techniques that meet OSHA guidelines.
