OPTIONS FOR EVERY AGE. A PLAN FOR EVERY SMILE

A great smile doesn’t happen by accident — it’s crafted with precision, care, and the right plan. At Lovell Orthodontics, every patient receives a custom plan built around their goals, lifestyle, and comfort. You’ll always know your options and what to expect, every step of the way.

Whether you or your child is struggling with crowding, bite issues, or jaw discomfort, we’ve got a plan to get you on track. Our orthodontic treatments in Morton and Washington are designed to bring balance, function, and confidence back to your smile.

never been easier

Our Treatments

Phase 1

Tooth
Phase 1 is early, growth-guided orthodontics designed to create space, improve how the jaws fit together, and set the stage for healthier eruption of permanent teeth. If a child’s upper jaw is narrow, crowding is starting, or the bite is developing unevenly, early intervention can reduce future complexity.

Treatment is typically recommended once patterns become clear, often after ages six or seven, so development can be guided at the right time. We use digital records to plan precisely and keep visits efficient for busy families.

 

  • Spot concerns early: Narrow upper jaw, early crowding, crossbite, or bite imbalance
  • Guide healthy growth: Helps the jaw develop to better fit permanent teeth
  • Create space now: Can reduce the likelihood of later extractions
  • Plan with digital records: 3D scans, x-rays, and photos to choose the right appliance and timeline

Phase 2

Tooth

Phase 2 begins once most or all permanent teeth are in and focuses on placing each tooth in its ideal position for function, stability, and confidence. This is the stage where we fine-tune alignment and bite so the teeth work well with the lips, cheeks, tongue, and each other.

Treatment may use braces or clear aligners, depending on your goals, needs, and lifestyle. Once alignment is complete, retainers protect the result long term.

 

  • Full alignment + bite detail: Precision finishing for stability and function
  • Braces or aligners: The best tool for your case and lifestyle
  • Efficient progress: Digital planning supports fewer surprises and smoother visits
  • Retainers afterward: Helps maintain your new smile for years

Comprehensive Treatment

Some patients don’t need two phases — just one complete plan from start to finish. Comprehensive treatment may be ideal for teens and adults who are ready for full correction now. We use 3D scanning, digital planning, and customized appliances to keep treatment comfortable, efficient, and predictable. You’ll always have a clear roadmap, with options explained in plain language.

Comprehensive Treatment

Orthodontics for Children

Early orthodontic care helps guide jaw growth, create space for permanent teeth, and correct developing bite issues before they become more complex. We use digital scans and records to understand what’s happening and whether early treatment is truly needed.

If your child is a candidate, we keep the process simple, upbeat, and comfortable, so they feel confident coming in. Parents get clear timelines, costs, and next steps, with no pressure and no surprises.

 

  • Growth-guided care: Supports healthy jaw development and better eruption patterns
  • Space creation: Helps reduce crowding and may prevent future extractions
  • Early bite correction: Addresses crossbites and jaw discrepancies at the right time
  • Kid-friendly experience: Warm, encouraging visits designed for families
Orthodontics for Children

Adult Orthodontics

Adult treatment is designed to fit real-life work schedules, social events, and everything in between, while still delivering precise, lasting results. Whether you want discreet aligners or a fixed option like ceramic braces, we create a plan that matches your goals and bite needs.

Digital planning helps keep visits efficient and progress predictable, with a clear roadmap from day one. The result is a healthier bite, easier cleaning, and a smile you feel proud to share.

 

  • Discreet options: Clear aligners or ceramic braces for low-visibility treatment
  • Functional improvements: Better bite balance can reduce wear, crowding, and strain
  • Efficient progress: Digitally planned movements mean fewer surprises and smoother visits
  • Results that last: Retainers and long-term guidance protect your investment
Adult Orthodontics

Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using custom trays planned from precise 3D digital scans — no brackets, no wires, no impressions. Because aligners are removable, you can keep eating your favorite foods and brushing normally throughout treatment. Digital simulations make it easier to understand your plan and track progress with confidence. Many patients also love that Invisalign often requires fewer quick, efficient check-ins.

 

  • Nearly invisible: A discreet look for school, work, and photos
  • Removable convenience: Eat, brush, and floss as usual
  • Digitally planned: 3D scanning and staged movement for predictable progress
  • Comfort-focused: Smooth trays designed to fit comfortably day to day
Clear Braces

Corrective Jaw Surgery

Corrective jaw surgery is part of the care for severe jaw or bite discrepancies that can’t be fully corrected with orthodontics alone. Lovell Orthodontics provides surgical orthodontics, coordinating treatment planning and timing with trusted oral surgery partners. Orthodontics prepares the teeth and bite before surgery, and then finishes alignment afterward for a stable, functional result. This approach is often used when jaw position affects bite function, facial balance, or airway health.

 

  • Coordinated surgical orthodontics: We plan alongside oral surgery for timing and outcomes
  • Pre-surgical orthodontics: Aligns teeth to the right positions before surgery
  • Post-surgical finishing: Fine-tunes the bite once healing begins
  • Related services: Metal braces, clear braces, clear aligners, airway orthodontics, TMJ support

Frequently Asked Questions

Braces or aligners — how do I choose?

It depends on your goals, bite, and lifestyle. We’ll compare metal braces, clear braces, and clear aligners with timelines, comfort, costs, and expected results.

How long does treatment take?

Most cases finish in 12–24 months. Complexity, growth, and aligner/braces wear habits can shorten or lengthen timelines. We’ll give you your personalized estimate for your Morton & Washington orthodontic treatments at your consult.

Are clear aligners as effective as braces?

Yes, for many cases. Aligners are planned digitally and work great for crowding, spacing, and mild bite issues; complex movements may be faster with braces. We’ll recommend the best path.

Do expanders hurt? How do they help?

Expect pressure, not sharp pain, for a few days. Expanders gently widen the upper jaw to create space, improve alignment, and support nasal airflow in growing patients.

I’m an adult. Is it too late for orthodontics?

Not at all. Adults see excellent results with clear aligners or discreet braces. We design treatment around work, family, and comfort.

How do you treat TMJ problems?

We start with a bite/jaw evaluation. Conservative options — like custom appliances, bite balancing, or orthodontics — aim to reduce pain, protect teeth, and restore comfortable function.

Will I need a retainer after treatment?

Yes. Retainers maintain your results by keeping teeth in their new positions. We provide custom retainers — often made from your final digital scan — and clear wear instructions.

What if there’s an orthodontic emergency?

Call us for same-day guidance. We can often relieve discomfort quickly (wax, clip a wire, replace a tray) and schedule an in-office repair if needed to keep treatment on track.
