NON-EXTRACTION TREATMENT
Dr Shimanto specialises in non-extraction treatment where possible. Extraction are best avoided when other suitable treatment options can be used to correct a bite.
Extractions used to be a popular option when undergoing orthodontic treatment, yet there are many orthodontic options now available that in many cases can eliminate the need for extractions.
Undergoing an orthodontic consultation at a young age can effectively prevent the need for extractions later in life. For instance, the utilisation of an expander plate can widen the upper jaw, creating additional space. As a result, there is no requirement for tooth extraction.
Designing custom braces with Elemetrix
There are many new types of braces available that cater for a crowded mouth. At Norwest Orthodontics we use a program called Elemetrix which allows for customised bracket placement and comfortable appliance fitting for each individual.
The Elemetrix system incorporates cutting-edge technologies that empower us to plan and personalise our patients’ treatment to an unprecedented degree. This level of customization was not achievable in the past, making our approach truly state-of-the-art.
Elemetrix is a highly compatible complement to Damon braces, synergizing the benefits of both systems. By incorporating Damon braces, the possibility of extraction can be minimised, and Dr. Shimanto will provide expert guidance on the suitability of the Damon System for your specific needs.
