At Applegate Dentistry & MedSpa, patients can achieve the smile results they've always wanted with comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Dr. Barry Applegate provides personalized care to help you achieve a straighter, healthier, beautiful smile! Our practice offers both SureSmile® clear aligner therapy and traditional metal braces. With our dentist's expertise and advanced technology, we deliver top orthodontic treatment in Covington, KY, and beyond, designed to meet each patient's needs and budget.
Orthodontic Consultation with Digital Technology
Your orthodontic treatment will begin with a consultation with Dr. Applegate! You'll experience our cutting-edge technology, including the iTero® Intraoral Scanner, used to digitally create accurate 3D models of your teeth and eliminate the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions.
During your orthodontic consultation, our experienced team will consider your lifestyle needs and address any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan. We believe successful outcomes result from collaboration and understanding between the orthodontist and patient.
SureSmile® Aligners
Applegate Dentistry & MedSpa offers SureSmile® as an excellent option for clear braces. These removable plastic trays provide both comfort and convenience. SureSmile® aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to undergo treatment discreetly. Additionally, you can remove the trays for easy oral hygiene maintenance, minimizing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Unlike traditional metal braces, SureSmile® does not have dietary restrictions, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods. The average duration of SureSmile® treatment at our practice is between 12 and 18 months. After your short treatment time, you'll enjoy a straighter, more confident smile!
Traditional Metal Braces
We may recommend traditional metal braces for patients with more complex orthodontic needs. Modern metal braces are designed to be smaller and flatter, significantly improving comfort compared to the braces systems of the past. With both a proven track record and modern advancements, today's traditional metal braces offer reliable, predictable results for achieving a straight, properly aligned smile.
Retainers and Post-Orthodontic Treatment
Once you have completed your orthodontic treatment, Dr. Applegate will provide you with a custom-fitted retainer to help maintain your results well into the future.
We prioritize your long-term dental health and will guide you through the post-orthodontic phase to help you maintain your beautiful smile. Lost your retainer? Let us know, and we'll help you replace it as soon as possible!
