Lifetime Retainers Program
At Team Orthodontics, we understand that a straight, beautiful smile is a lifelong investment, and we’re here to help you protect it. Our Lifetime Retainers Program is designed to save you money in the long run and ensure your smile stays perfectly aligned for years to come.
What’s Included in the Lifetime Retainers Program?
With our Lifetime Retainers Program, you’ll receive:
- Two Sets of Retainers and Models at Your Deband Appointment — These initial sets are customized to fit your smile perfectly.
- Four Replacement Sets Per Year — you’ll have peace of mind knowing that replacements are always available.
- Quick Turnaround Time — Retainer replacements are ready within one week, ensuring minimal disruption to your routine.
By joining this program, you’ll save an estimated $1,500 annually on replacement costs, making it a cost-effective solution for maintaining your smile.
Why We Offer the Lifetime Retainers Program
Retainers are essential for keeping your teeth in place after orthodontic treatment, but they don’t last forever. Over time, retainers can lose their ability to hold teeth in alignment, harbor bacteria, or even crack and warp. Just like replacing your toothbrush regularly, it’s important to replace retainers to maintain their effectiveness and keep your smile healthy.
By enrolling in our Lifetime Retainers Program, you’ll always have access to fresh, functional retainers without worrying about the high cost of replacements. It’s the best way to safeguard your smile investment and maintain the results you worked so hard to achieve.
Our Lifetime Retainers Program is designed with your long-term smile health in mind. It’s convenient, affordable, and ensures you have the tools you need to keep your teeth beautifully aligned for life.

TMD/TMJ Treatment
At Team Orthodontics, we don’t just focus on straightening teeth — we’re also here to help patients experiencing discomfort from TMD (temporomandibular disorders), which affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a crucial role in everyday functions like chewing, speaking, and even smiling. When this joint is out of balance, it can lead to pain and a range of other symptoms. Fortunately, we offer effective TMD/TMJ treatments to relieve discomfort and restore proper jaw function.
Understanding TMD & Its Symptoms
TMD occurs when the TMJ is irritated, strained, or misaligned. It can result from various factors, including:
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Jaw misalignment or bite issues
- Stress or muscle tension
- Trauma to the jaw or face
Common symptoms of TMD include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth wide
- Frequent headaches or neck pain
- Earaches or a sensation of fullness in the ears
Our Approach to TMD/TMJ Treatment
At Team Orthodontics, we tailor TMD treatment to address the root cause of your discomfort and provide long-term relief. Depending on your specific needs, our treatment options may include:
- Custom Orthodontic Appliances — A custom-made night guard or splint can reduce teeth grinding and alleviate pressure on the TMJ, promoting relaxation and healing.
- Bite Adjustment — Orthodontic treatment, such as braces or clear aligners, can correct bite misalignments that contribute to TMD symptoms.
- Lifestyle Modifications — We’ll provide guidance on stress management, relaxation techniques, and jaw exercises to help improve jaw function and reduce tension.
- Collaborative Care — In some cases, we may work closely with other healthcare providers, such as physical therapists or dentists, to ensure comprehensive care.
Effective TMD treatment not only relieves pain but also improves your overall quality of life. By addressing the underlying causes, we help you restore comfort, prevent further damage, and enjoy everyday activities without jaw-related discomfort.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of TMD, don’t wait to seek help. At Team Orthodontics, we’re committed to providing personalized care that gets to the root of the problem and helps you feel your best. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about our TMD/TMJ treatment options and start your journey to lasting relief.
Two-Phase Treatment
At Team Orthodontics, we believe in setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles through proactive care. Two-phase treatment is a specialized approach that focuses on guiding jaw growth and addressing dental issues early, followed by a second phase to fine-tune and perfect the alignment of the teeth. This comprehensive approach ensures long-term success and minimizes the need for more invasive treatments in the future.
Two-Phase treatment is designed to:
- Prevent Complex Issues — By addressing problems early, we can avoid the need for more invasive treatments, such as extractions or jaw surgery.
- Guide Proper Jaw Development — Ensures the jaws grow in harmony, promoting a balanced facial profile.
- Reduce Treatment Time in Phase Two — Early intervention often leads to shorter and simpler treatment during the second phase.
- Improve Long-Term Stability — A healthy, well-aligned smile is more likely to stay that way with proper early care.
Two-phase treatment involves two distinct stages of orthodontic care, each with a specific goal:
Phase One: Early Intervention
This phase typically begins when a child is around six to ten years old, while their jaw is still growing. The goal of Phase One is to address issues such as:
- Severe crowding or spacing of teeth
- Misaligned bites (overbite, underbite, or crossbite)
- Jaw growth problems
- Habits like thumb-sucking that may affect dental development
During Phase One, we may use braces, expanders, or other orthodontic appliances to guide proper jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth to erupt correctly. This reduces the risk of more serious dental problems later and ensures a healthy foundation for Phase Two.
Phase Two: Comprehensive Alignment
Once all permanent teeth have erupted, typically around age 11 to 14, Phase Two begins. This phase focuses on refining the alignment of the teeth and ensuring a properly functioning bite. Braces or clear aligners are commonly used during this stage to create a straight, beautiful smile.
Is Two-Phase Treatment Right for Your Child?
Every child’s orthodontic needs are unique. The best way to determine if your child could benefit from two-phase treatment is through an early orthodontic evaluation. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by age seven. During this consultation, we’ll assess their dental and jaw development and create a customized plan to meet their needs.
At Team Orthodontics, we’re committed to giving every child the best start on their journey to a healthy, confident smile. Our two-phase treatment approach ensures your child’s teeth and jaws develop properly, setting the stage for a lifetime of optimal oral health.

Whether you want to enhance your smile for a special occasion or simply boost your everyday confidence, Zoom Whitening can help you achieve a radiant, brighter smile in just one visit.
