Creating Healthy, Beautiful Smiles
Somerville, Hillsborough, & Montgomery Orthodontics
Orthodontic problems can impact kids, teens, and adults — in fact, it’s rare that anyone’s born with perfect teeth. Malocclusion, or a “bad bite”, can cause problems with chewing, oral hygiene, speaking, and appearance.
A bad bite can be genetic or can be caused by thumb sucking, dental disease, poor dental hygiene, accidents, birth defects, or other medical conditions.
Dr. Peterman and Dr. Fogge pair cutting-edge tech with the skill of moving teeth. This helps Somerset Orthodontic Specialists successfully treat many dental issues, like:
- Gaps between your teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Protruding teeth
- Impacted teeth
Metal Braces & More
Most patients we treat at Somerset Orthodontic Specialists choose traditional metal braces to straighten their teeth.
Metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment in Somerville, Hillsborough, and Montgomery, but you have other options, too, including clear braces and clear aligners.
After your first free consultation exam, Dr. Peterman and Dr. Fogge will discuss which treatment is right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
ZOOM Whitening
ZOOM whitening is a professional in-office treatment designed to dramatically brighten your smile in a single appointment. It's a fast, effective way to remove years of stains and discoloration caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and everyday life.
What to Expect During Treatment
ZOOM whitening is a simple in-office treatment that can brighten your smile in about an hour. During your appointment, our team will carefully apply a professional whitening gel and monitor the process to help ensure a comfortable experience.
Once treatment is complete, you'll leave with a noticeably whiter smile and guidance on maintaining your results.
Benefits of ZOOM Whitening
One of the biggest advantages of ZOOM whitening is convenience. Many patients can achieve a noticeably whiter smile in about an hour, making it a popular choice before weddings, graduations, interviews, and other important events.
In addition to delivering fast results, professional whitening helps provide a more even outcome than many store-bought products. The treatment is also customized to your smile, helping you achieve a brighter appearance with confidence.
TADs
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) give orthodontists additional control when moving teeth, helping make certain types of treatment more efficient and predictable. These small devices can be used to support tooth movement that may be difficult to achieve with braces or aligners alone.
What Are TADs?
TADs are small titanium posts that are temporarily placed in the jawbone to create a stable anchor point during orthodontic treatment. They are used only when needed and are removed once their job is complete.
Because TADs remain fixed in place, they provide support, allowing orthodontists to move specific teeth without affecting others. This can be especially helpful in more complex orthodontic cases.
Benefits of TADs
Every smile is different, and some orthodontic concerns require additional support to achieve the desired result. TADs give Dr. Peterman and Dr. Fogge greater flexibility when planning treatment, allowing them to address certain challenges more effectively.
For patients, this can mean access to treatment options that might not have been available otherwise. TADs can play an important role in helping create healthy, functional, and well-balanced smiles.
