  • Speed Your Teen to a Selfie-Ready Smile

    By admin 05/15/2018

    In a world of instant gratification and selfies, it’s hard to sell a teen on years worth of metal mouth. Well, luckily at Eckels Orthodontics, we don’t need to! While you obviously don’t want your teen speeding along the highway in a car, speeding up their orthodontics is definitely preferable!

    How do we do it?

    First, we ask that you come in for a complimentary consultation, where our team will take 3D X-Rays of your child’s mouth. Our iCat, 3D Cone-Beam scanner allows Dr. Scott Eckels to see much greater detail than a traditional x-ray and we’re the only office in the area to have one! More information at the start means a better patient experience and better results. Based on our 3D images, Dr. Eckels will come up with a customized treatment plan for your teen.


    The Clear Route:

    Understanding how much your teen’s smile is wrapped up in their self-confidence, we are proud to offer Invisalign Teen. In fact, we’re the only top 1% Invisalign provider in the Mid-Ohio Valley. What does that mean for your teen? It means no metal mouth! Dr. -Eckels is highly experienced in using Invisalign to treat most orthodontic cases.

    Invisalign works by creating a series of aligners that get switched out every should be 7-14 days. The aligners guide your teen’s teeth along the path to their desired smile without the need for metal braces.


    The Fast Route:

    Time to speed along the highway! For those of our patients who want speedier treatment times, we offer AcceleDent. This innovative technology produces a gentle vibration, resulting in a safe and fast bone reshaping and teeth movement. This SoftPulse Technology® is what helps shorten the time needed to finish your treatment by up to half the time. Yes, you read correctly, by up to 50%!


    The Easy Route:

    Not only does AcceleDent speed treatment time, it also helps relieve the pain normally felt with orthodontics. The AcceleDent device is hands free and worn for 20 minutes each day. Easy peasy! It is very light and comfortable to wear, and it is perfectly safe to use at any age.

    At Eckels Orthodontics we are committed to helping your teen achieve the smile they’ve always wanted in the fastest route possible. Dr. Scott Eckels has 26 years of experience practicing as a specialist in orthodontics and has been selected “Best Orthodontist” by Parkersburg News and Sentinel Readers Choice for 8 years running!

    Our always friendly team is excited to meet you! Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation at any of our 3 convenient office locations.
