Braces Strength + Aligner Invisibility
Introducing Our Hybrid Treatment Solution
At Capan Orthodontics, you don’t have to choose between braces and clear aligners. Our hybrid treatment combines the efficiency of braces with the aesthetic appeal of aligners, ensuring the best of both worlds.
How It Works
- Start with braces: Metal braces handle the heavy lifting, correcting bite and alignment issues efficiently.
- Switch to clear aligners: Once we make the major adjustments, you’ll transition to clear aligners for a discreet and comfortable finish.
- Reveal your perfect smile: Enjoy a beautifully aligned smile with a treatment plan customized to your needs.
Airway Orthodontics
The Connection Between Breathing & Orthodontics
At Capan Orthodontics, we look beyond straight teeth — we focus on how your smile functions. Airway orthodontics helps identify and treat structural issues that affect airflow, such as narrow jaws or misaligned bites.
When left untreated, these issues can lead to sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, or chronic fatigue.
Supporting Healthy Growth & Development
For children, airway-focused treatment can play a key role in supporting healthy facial growth, posture, and overall development.
By improving jaw position and encouraging nasal breathing, we can often reduce mouth breathing, improve sleep, and promote long-term wellness. Early evaluation allows us to detect potential airway concerns while the face and jaws are still developing.
Customized Care for Every Patient
Using advanced 3D imaging and detailed digital scans, Dr. Capan creates personalized treatment plans to gently guide jaw expansion and improve airway balance. Whether through orthodontic appliances or growth guidance, our goal is to enhance both breathing function and smile aesthetics.
Airway orthodontics helps patients of all ages achieve more than a great smile — it supports better sleep, improved energy, and a foundation for lifelong health.
Canine Impactions: Expert Care for a Complex Condition
Specialized Treatment for Impacted Canine Teeth
Canine teeth, or cuspids, play a critical role in a healthy bite and a balanced smile. When these teeth fail to emerge properly, it can lead to misalignment, damage to surrounding teeth, and long-term oral health issues.
At Capan Orthodontics, we specialize in identifying and treating impacted canines with precision, using advanced technology and a patient-focused approach.
Why Are Canine Teeth Prone to Impaction?
Canines have one of the longest eruption paths of any tooth, making them more prone to becoming trapped beneath the gums.
Impaction often happens when the dental arch doesn’t provide enough space for the canine to erupt or some other factor disrupts the clear eruption of the teeth.
If left untreated, impacted canines can put pressure on nearby teeth, leading to misalignment, root damage, or even cyst formation.
Advanced 3D Imaging for Precise Treatment
At Capan Orthodontics, we use cutting-edge 3D imaging and iTero scanning to accurately locate impacted canines and develop a customized treatment plan.
Digital precision combined with proven orthodontic techniques lets us guide these teeth into proper alignment with minimal discomfort and optimal results.
Bite Correction
The Key to a Healthy, Functional Smile
Correcting bite issues early can prevent more invasive treatments later in life, including jaw surgery or tooth extraction.
At Capan Orthodontics, we offer specialized bite correction solutions designed to improve function, balance, and long-term oral health.
