She provides treatment for correction of crowding, overbites, underbites, spacing, and jaw deformities and for surgical orthodontic treatment alternatives. Dr, Lien’s greatest accomplishment is: “Seeing one of her young patients’s self-esteem soar after having that child comfortable in their own skin after being bullied for having “buck teeth or fangs” and being told my adult patients had a successful job interview or received a promotion because their “new smile” now have them the confidence to succeed.” Dr, Lien feels honored to have recently received the Roger Fredsall Distinguished Service Award from the Minnesota Association of Orthodontists for outstanding service to the organization and for her dedication and commitment to orthodontics and to the communities she serves. She is Past-President of the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists, encompassing an 8 state area and Manitoba. Dr. Lien is Past President of the Minnesota Association of Orthodontists and 2017 President of the SE Minnesota Zumbro Valley Dental Society and remains on the Board of Directors of these organizations. ***In all of these professional positions, her main passion is to remain a strong advocate for her patients’ rights***. “My passion is to help my patients in outstate and rural Minnesota attain the best possible healthcare and to achieve total health that heals their entire body! Proud to grow up on a grain and hog farm in SW Minnesota, I witnessed the need for this in my community and I now feel blessed after 11 years of post-high school orthodontic education (my farming parents called it lunacy) that I have the opportunity to make a more positive impact in the lives of my patients both in my private practice and in our great USA.” Dr. Lein advocates at state, regional and Washington D.C. levels as a proponent for raising the cap on flexible spending accounts and to improve employee benefits of health savings accounts to allow all patients to make wise healthcare spending decisions. She lobbies to advance legislation that would reduce student loan debt and allow graduate students to defer their loan interest payments until after graduation. Dr, Lien works to advance bills in Congress that would assure that preventative medical and dental care is available to children everywhere. Dr. Lien donates her time and expertise to organizations such as Smiles Change Lives, Donated Orthodontic/Dental Services, Give Kids a Smile and Mission of Mercy where qualified children, disabled individuals, and adults are given free care. Her husband, Dale is a mechanical engineer at Gauthier Industries in Rochester. Dr. Lien is extremely proud of her children including her son, Aaron who is a chemist and supervisor at Upsher Smith Pharmaceutical in Maple Groce, MN. Daughter, Ana is a Family Physician completing her Rural Family Practice Residency at Mayo Clinic, LaCrosse, WI. Hobbies: Fishing, boating, gardening and canning vegetables, salsa and jams; volunteering for her church and woman’s shelters; playing the piano; embroidery, quilting, and sewing.

Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today’s virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it’s possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Metal Braces are popular for many reasons, they're reliabale, effective and economical. No one but you has to know that you wear braces when you choose a clear brace system. Ceramic braces are a great option for those looking to get a healthier-looking smile without the metal. As the name implies, Clear Aligners clear aligners are made of almost invisible polyurethane plastic, clear aligners are completely removable. The earlier we catch problems with your child’s bite, the simpler they are to fix. Orthodontic problems don’t improve with age — they simply become harder to treat. It’s easier to treat many orthodontic problems during adolescence. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so there’s no such thing as being too old for braces. Here at Lien Orthodontics, we specialize in assisting our patients with post-orthodontic care. Surgical orthodontics helps patients improve their bites, though it can also help with other aesthetic concerns as well. At first, having orthodontic treatment may take a little getting used to. Here you can find information about what can be considered an emergency. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment ### Title: Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment ### Page ID: 938215 ### Content: # Orthodontics for Teens in Blooming Prairie, MN ## Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment ### The Orthodontic Treatment Process ### How Long Will I Wear Them? There are several good reasons why adolescence is the optimal time for orthodontic treatment, though occasionally even earlier intervention is called for. One has to do with the development of the teeth: There’s no set timetable for every kid, but generally by the age of 11-13 the deciduous (baby) teeth have all been lost, and the permanent ones have largely come in. This is the time when we can go to work correcting the problems that cause a bad bite (malocclusion), improper tooth spacing or poor alignment. Orthodontic problems don’t improve with age — they simply become harder to treat. It’s easier to treat many orthodontic problems during adolescence because the body is still growing rapidly at this time. Whether standard braces are used, or appliances like **palatal expanders**, improved appearance and function can be created in a short period of time. In later years, when the bones of the face and jaw are fully developed, many conditions become more difficult (and costly) to treat. There’s even a social element to getting orthodontic treatment in adolescence. If you need braces, you’re not alone! Chances are you’ll see some of your classmates in the dental office, and you may even make new friends as you go through the process together. When it’s done, you’ll have a smile that you can really be proud of, and benefits that will last your whole life. What can you expect when you have orthodontic treatment? It all depends on what kind of treatment you need. At your first appointment, pictures and radiographic (X-ray) images of your mouth are usually taken, along with impressions of your teeth, so that a model of your bite can be made. This information will be used to develop a treatment plan. It may involve regular braces, with or without elastics (rubber bands). A specialized appliance may also be recommended for a period of time **Here are some of the most commonly used orthodontic appliances:** **Metal Braces** need no introduction. But you might be surprised to find they’re smaller and lighter than ever. They may even offer some customized options, like colored elastic ties on the brackets. **Clear Braces** feature brackets made of ceramic or composite materials which blend in with your teeth, making them harder to notice. They’re suitable in many situations, but they cost a little more. **Clear Aligners for teens** is a series of removable, clear plastic trays that gradually straighten teeth as they’re worn (for 22 hours per day). Formerly recommended only for adult patients, they now come with special features — like compliance indicators to tell how often you’ve been wearing them — that make them appropriate for teens in some situations. The advantage: they’re practically invisible! **Lingual Braces** offer the most unnoticeable form of orthodontic treatment because they are attached to the back (tongue side) of the teeth, where they cannot be seen at all. **Other orthodontic appliances** may be recommended in some cases, where major tooth or jaw movement is needed. They can range from small devices that fit inside the mouth to external headgear. But don’t worry: You’ll get used to them, and they’re temporary — but they provide a long-term benefit in a short time. There’s no one answer that fits everyone: It all depends on what has to be done in your individual situation. Generally, however, the active stage of orthodontic treatment lasts 6-30 months. Afterwards, you will wear a retainer for another period of months. When your orthodontic treatment is complete, a new smile will be yours for a lifetime. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/braces ### Title: Braces ### Page ID: 938466 ### Content: # Braces in Blooming Prairie, MN ## Types of Braces ### Metal Braces ### Ceramic braces ### Lingual Braces For the vast majority of orthodontic patients, wearing fixed appliances (commonly called braces) will be a major part of treatment — and those braces, for the most part, will be the familiar silvery-metal type. But while they’re still quite popular, traditional-looking metal braces are no longer the only game in town! Let’s have a look at some of the options available in orthodontic appliances. First, we should distinguish between fixed and removable appliances. Fixed appliances like braces are attached to the teeth by metal bands or special cement. They aren’t normally taken off until treatment is complete. Removable appliances, such as clear aligners, are typically worn some 22 hours per day, but may be easily taken off as needed. While clear aligners can be effective in treating mild to moderate orthodontic problems, fixed appliances are generally needed for more comprehensive treatment. Typically made of high-grade stainless steel, traditional metal braces remain by far the most common type of fixed orthodontic appliances. They consist of metal bands that wrap around the molars in back, and smaller metal brackets that are cemented to the front surfaces of the other teeth. A thin, springy metal wire, running through the brackets, gently guides the teeth into a proper position. This archwire may be fixed to the brackets by flexible elastics, metal ties, or other types of clasps. There are many good reasons why time-tested metal braces remain popular — because they offer a reliable, effective and economical treatment option. In contrast to the appliances of the past, today’s braces are actually smaller, lighter, and more comfortable to wear. If you want a less traditional look, you may be able to choose colorful elastics for the brackets, or other modifications. Clear ceramic braces are a new variation on the traditional system that provides a far less noticeable method of treatment. They use the same components as traditional braces — except that the brackets on the front side of the teeth are made of a translucent ceramic material that blends in with the tooth’s natural color. This system has become a favorite for adults (including some well-known celebrities) because, unless you look closely, it’s hard to notice they’re there. Several types of ceramic braces are currently available, and the technology is constantly improving. Their aesthetic appeal is undeniable… but there are a few tradeoffs. The ceramic brackets can be less durable than their metal counterparts; plus, while the brackets themselves don’t stain, the elastic bands that attach them to the archwire do (however, these are generally changed each month.) Ceramic braces also cost more than metal — but for many people, the benefit of having an inconspicuous appliance outweighs the costs. While ceramic braces certainly offer a less conspicuous look, there is still another system that allows fixed braces to be truly invisible. In some situations, special appliances called lingual braces can be placed on the tongue side of the teeth. They work the same way other metal braces do — but even though they’re made of metal, they can’t be seen, because they’re hidden behind the teeth themselves! Lingual braces aren’t the proper treatment for every orthodontic condition. Special training is required to install them, and they’re significantly more expensive than standard braces. They also generally require a bit more time for the wearer to get used to them, and they may slightly prolong treatment. But if you want the least visible type of fixed appliance — and if you’re a candidate for this treatment option — then lingual braces may be just what you’re looking for. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/clear-braces ### Title: Clear Braces ### Page ID: 938564 ### Content: # CLEAR BRACES in Blooming Prairie, MN ## Clear Braces ### Why Choose Clear Braces? No one but you has to know that you wear braces when you choose a clear brace system. This brace type is the perfect choice if you want to straighten your teeth without wires and brackets. Lien Orthodontics share some information on clear braces that will help you decide if this tooth straightening option is the best one for you. Clear braces use a series of clear aligner trays to move your teeth, rather than wires and brackets. Because the braces are nearly transparent, it won’t be obvious that you are wearing braces, unless you choose to share that information. The trays fit snugly over your teeth and don’t alter your speech patterns, as metal braces can in some cases. Got a big night planned? Since clear braces are so unobtrusive, you may just want to wear your aligner trays, but if you want to go brace-free, it’s no problem to remove the braces for a few hours. You’ll normally wear the braces 20 to 22 hours per day. Your dentist will order a series of aligner trays designed just for you that will gradually and gently move your teeth into alignment. Instead of reporting to your dentist’s office for periodic adjustments, you’ll continue the straightening process by using a new set of aligners every two to three weeks. Of course, you will visit the office occasionally to check your process, but the adjustments will take place when you break open a package of new trays. People who wear metal braces must treat their wires and brackets with care. Certain foods, such as hard or sticky foods, must be avoided to prevent damage to the braces. If treatment takes a year or two, you’ll have to do without your favorite foods for quite some time. There are no food restrictions with clear braces. You’ll simply take your braces out to eat and put them back in at the end of the meal. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/invisalign ### Title: Invisalign ### Page ID: 940931 ### Content: # INVISALIGN in Blooming Prairie, MN ## Invisalign ### How Clear Aligners Works As the name implies, Clear Aligners clear aligners are made of almost invisible polyurethane plastic. Rather than being cemented or bonded to the teeth as metal or clear braces are, clear aligners are completely removable — for important social occasions, for eating, and, most importantly, for tooth-brushing and flossing. This advantage can also be a disadvantage: It means you must resist the temptation to take your aligners out more than is advised. Here are some other advantages of the Clear Aligners system: **Improved Oral Hygiene** — With an orthodontic appliance that is removable, you will be able to clean your teeth much more easily than if you were wearing metal braces. **A Discreet Look** — If you consider your orthodontic treatment to be a private matter, or simply feel that metal braces don’t fit with your self-image, a practically invisible form of orthodontic treatment might suit you. **More Dietary Choices** — To protect metal wires and braces, some diet modifications are necessary. With clear aligners, you can still bite into an apple or a crispy pizza crust. **Comfort** — The thin, flexible material of which Clear Aligners is made will not irritate the soft tissues of the mouth, as metal wires and braces can. **Teeth-Grinding Protection** — If you have a teeth-grinding or clenching habit, clear aligners can function as thin nightguards that will protect your teeth from excessive wear. Clear aligner technology has been improving over the years and can correct many malocclusions that once would have been too complicated for this form of treatment. Yet there are still some situations for which traditional braces would still be best. This can be discussed in detail with you. Clear Aligners clear aligners work the same way traditional braces do: by applying carefully controlled forces to teeth to move them into a better position. But they are not made of metal; instead, they are made of clear, flexible plastic. Specialized computer software is used to design a plan for moving your teeth from their current positions into the best possible alignment. This movement will be broken down into perhaps several dozen stages. For each stage, the Clear Aligners company will manufacture two plastic mouth “trays” or “aligners,” one to fit over your top teeth and one for the bottom. You will wear this first set of trays for two weeks, for a minimum of 20 hours per day. You will then move on to the next set of aligners in your series to accomplish the next stage of gradual movement. You will keep doing this until your teeth are correctly aligned. In the past several years, two features have been added to make Clear Aligners a more appropriate orthodontic treatment method for teenagers. Special “eruption tabs” hold the appropriate amount of space open for molars that have not fully grown in. Clear Aligners for teens also comes with “compliance indicators” built into the aligner material, which fade with wear. This allows parents, dentists, and the teens themselves, to make sure the trays are being worn as prescribed. Treatment with Clear Aligners can only be successful if this is the case. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/post-orthodontic-care ### Title: Post Orthodontic Care ### Page ID: 941039 ### Content: # LEARN MORE ABOUT POST ORTHODONTIC CARE ## Post Orthodontic Care Here at Lien Orthodontics, we specialize in assisting our patients with post-orthodontic care. Every person with braces looks forward to the day they come off to reveal their fresh, beautiful smile! Even though you may be enjoying the new feeling of your smooth teeth, it is essential to remember that you’re not entirely done with orthodontic treatment yet. Post-orthodontic care is extremely important, too, and the most crucial part of the process. You MUST wear a retainer during this phase – called the retention phase. There are several different types of retainers available for you; all are custom-made just for you and your mouth so you can receive optimal results. You may be wondering why you need a retainer. Your teeth are already so straight! Well, without a retainer, your teeth will actually start to move back to where they were at the beginning, before treatment. The day you get your braces removed, you will also be fitted for a retainer. Your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned, and another set of X-rays and/or bite impressions will be taken. Three different types of retainers can be used: Hawley, clear plastic, or fixed bonded. To keep your retainer healthy and germ-free, you need to make sure that your properly clean your retainer. You can do this by brushing it with a regular toothbrush and toothpaste every day. Our entire staff enjoys seeing a beautiful smile transformation.

Appliances that are barely noticeable have been developed to give adults more discreet choices when it comes to orthodontic treatment. And many adults realize that investing in a smile makeover can have significant benefits, socially and professionally. Straightening teeth can be an important part of that confidence-boosting makeover process. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so there’s no such thing as being too old for braces. However, orthodontic treatment for adults is different in two important respects: For one thing, the growth and development of the jaws is complete in adults, so changes in actual jaw structure can’t be accomplished with orthodontic appliances in the way they can with a growing child. Secondly, periodontal (gum) disease is more prevalent in adults than in children. While you are wearing the orthodontic appliances, gentle forces will be applied to your teeth so they can move through their surrounding bone. Periodontal health plays a key role in all of this; if the gum tissues are not healthy during orthodontics, bone loss can result and weaken the long-term prognosis of your teeth. So any gum disease must be brought under control before orthodontic treatment begins. And to maintain your periodontal health, you will need to make sure to have regular professional cleanings during the orthodontics while maintaining good oral hygiene at home. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/ceramic-braces ### Title: Ceramic Braces ### Page ID: 941098 ### Content: # CERAMIC BRACES in Blooming Prairie, MN ## Ceramic Braces ### Why Choose Ceramic Braces? Since the majority of people aren’t born with perfectly straight teeth, sometimes their smiles need a little help from orthodontics. However, braces have certainly changed a lot since the days of cumbersome brackets and wires. It is now much easier for patients of all ages to wear braces that offer more subtlety than their traditional metal counterparts. Whether you’re a teenager who doesn’t feel comfortable going to high school with braces, or an adult in the working world, ceramic braces are a great option for those looking to get a healthier-looking smile without the metal. While ceramic braces work the same as traditional metal braces to give you a straighter smile, they offer one big advantage: they are made from ceramic. Also referred to as clear braces, they offer the advantage of being tooth-colored, so they easily blend in with your smile. They also offer the same strength and resilience that regular metal braces do. Ceramic braces are a great option for someone looking to correct a misalignment, crooked or gapped smile. These braces can handle the same cases that regular metal braces do, with the appeal of being more aesthetically pleasing. Keep in mind that some ceramic braces are more prone to staining than metal braces. Therefore, it’s important to avoid stain-causing foods and drinks as much as possible, and to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent discolorations from befalling your clear braces. The best way to find out if ceramic braces are right for your smile is to schedule a consultation. During your visit, we will examine your smile and discuss your goals for treatment, to make sure that ceramic braces are the best option. Keep in mind that because ceramic braces offer a more appealing and discreet look that they are often more expensive than just opting for traditional metal braces alone. We would be happy to sit down with you and discuss the cost of treatment, as well. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/early-orthodontic-treatment ### Title: Early Orthodontic Treatment ### Page ID: 941192 ### Content: # ORTHODONTICS FOR KIDS in Blooming Prairie, MN ## Early Orthodontic Treatment The earlier we catch problems with your child’s bite, the simpler they are to fix. The results are often better than if we wait and will require significantly less work. We may not need to keep braces on your child for as long when they are younger, which means less expense for you. The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends that children visit an orthodontist as soon as their dentist notices that there might be a problem, or before they are seven years old. We may not have to do anything at this age, other than monitor the child’s mouth. However, if we continue to watch your child, we can start treatment right away if something arises. Early intervention can be beneficial. We will watch how your child’s mouth and teeth grow and develop, so if we see something that needs to be done, we can do it as soon as possible. We will also know exactly when to start treatment, if needed. At the age of seven, the first adult molars start to come in to help establish the back bite. We can start to evaluate your child’s permanent bite formation, both front-to-back and side-to-side. Early treatment also reduces the need to remove teeth and the time patients must wear braces. According to AAO studies, skipping orthodontic treatment can lead to the following: With proper and timely orthodontic treatment, you may have the following benefits: - [About](/home#about "About") -

It isn’t uncommon to experience a bit of soreness when appliances are first put on, or some minor aches as teeth begin moving into new positions. Yet it’s comforting to know that genuine orthodontic emergencies are rare. If you think you may have an emergency, however, the first step is to determine the severity of the problem: Is it an urgent situation that requires immediate attention, or a minor problem that you can take care of yourself, temporarily, until you can come in to the office? There are only a few true orthodontic (or dental) emergencies. They include: **Severe, unmanageable discomfort or pain** in these areas In any of these situations, you should seek help as soon as possible — go to an emergency room, if that’s your best option. Generally, however, the place to start is at the dental office. If, for example, you have a fractured tooth, that immediate problem requires diagnosis and treatment. Afterwards your orthodontic treatment plan can be adjusted as needed. Likewise, severe pain or swelling could be a sign of infection or disease, which also needs immediate treatment. Fortunately, the vast majority of orthodontic problems are minor compared to these situations — but they may still cause discomfort or irritation. In general, it’s best to try and soothe the immediate cause of the discomfort, and then call for an appointment. Here are a few of the more common orthodontic problems, along with some tips on what you can do to relieve them at home: This problem is often caused by eating hard or sticky candy or food, or playing with the braces. If the band or bracket is still attached to the wire, leave it as is — but don’t connect any elastics to it! You can cover it with orthodontic wax if it’s irritating the inside of your mouth. If it has come off, save it. In either case, call our office to let us know what happened, and we will recommend the next step. As the teeth start to move, the wire that connects them (archwire) may begin poking near the back of the mouth or irritating the cheeks. You can try moving the wire into a better position with a pencil eraser or a Q-Tip. If the wire won’t move, you may be able to cut the end off with a nail clipper sterilized in alcohol — but before doing so, please call for guidance or instructions. Often, you can also use tweezers to gently move a misplaced wire or a tie that’s causing problems. When wires or brackets cause irritation, covering the metal parts with wax will often help ease the discomfort. As with any of these types of problems, it’s best to make an appointment so it can be taken care of. It’s normal for teeth to become slightly loosened during orthodontic treatment — that shows they’re moving! Sometimes, this movement may be accompanied by tenderness, especially after braces are placed or adjusted. For minor soreness, you can use your regular over-the-counter pain reliever. A twice-a-day salt-water rinse may also help: Mix one teaspoon of salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water, and rinse for 30 seconds. A warm washcloth or heating pad placed on the outside of the jaw can also offer some relief. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") - [Specials](/specials-lien-orthodontics-blooming-prairie-mn "Specials") - [Patient Videos](/patient-videos "Patient Videos") - [Contact](/contact "Contact") - [Our Blog](/blog "Our Blog") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") - [Lien Orthodontics Office](/lien-orthodontics-office "Lien Orthodontics Office") - [Testimonials](/home#testimonials "Testimonials") - [Early Orthodontic Treatment](/early-orthodontic-treatment "Early Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment](/adolescent-orthodontic-treatment "Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment") - [Adult Orthodontic Treatment](/adult-orthodontic-treatment "Adult Orthodontic Treatment") - [Braces](/braces "Braces") - [Clear Braces](/clear-braces "Clear Braces") - [Ceramic Braces](/ceramic-braces "Ceramic Braces") - [Invisalign](/invisalign "Invisalign") - [Post Orthodontic Care](/post-orthodontic-care "Post Orthodontic Care") - [Surgical Orthodontics](/surgical-orthodontics "Surgical Orthodontics") - [Orthodontic Emergencies](/orthodontic-emergencies "Orthodontic Emergencies") --- ## URL: https://www.drdeborahlienorthodontics.com/surgical-orthodontics ### Title: Surgical Orthodontics ### Page ID: 941282 ### Content: # ORTHODONTIC SURGERY in Blooming Prairie, MN ## Surgical Orthodontics ### Surgical Orthodontics ### Surgical Orthodontics Process **Surgical orthodontics, also called orthognathic surgery**, is used for severe cases of bad bites, jaw bone abnormalities, and malocclusions. **Oral and maxillofacial surgery** is considered a dental specialty and helps complex cases involving the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. Surgical orthodontics helps patients improve their bites, though it can also help with other aesthetic concerns as well. Surgery can be completed only after the jaw is finished growing. This typically happens by age sixteen for females and age eighteen for males. Surgery is needed when the jaws do not line up correctly and braces cannot correct the misalignment. We will line up your jaw correctly so that your braces can do the job that they are meant to. Surgery is not always necessary, so it is important to discuss your case with an orthognathic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your treatment options, whether or not they include surgery. Your surgery will be done by a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Surgery is completed in a hospital and can take up to a few hours, depending on your needs. After surgery, you will need to rest for about two weeks. It is a major surgery and you should take some time off of work and school while you heal. After you heal, your orthodontist will work on straightening your teeth. Most people have to wear braces for six months to a year after surgery. Then, you will need a retainer to maintain your beautiful smile. Like all surgeries, there are risks. However, orthognathic surgeries have been around for years and are pretty safe and effective. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to ask questions before the procedure. Most people can’t wait to have the smile they deserve. That is the best reward of the surgery. It can also help your self-confidence. Whether you need surgery to correct your bite, a malocclusion, or a jaw abnormality, we can help you have a smile you want to show off. - [About](/home#about "About") - [Meet Dr. Deborah Lien](/meet-dr-deborah-lien "Meet Dr. Deborah Lien") -

We take pride in serving our Minnesota communities and offering the very best in orthodontic care. We specialize in the treatment of all types of orthodontic cases including ceramic braces and clear braces. Ceramic braces are a more aesthetic option when it comes to braces. They are made of a lighter-colored material than traditional braces, allowing them to blend more easily with the natural color of your teeth. They are also less visible, making them a great option for those who want to maintain a more discreet look while achieving the results that they want. Clear braces are another type of braces that offer an even less visible option for those looking for a more discreet look. Clear braces are made of a transparent material and work the same way traditional braces do. The only difference is that they are much easier to hide than other types of braces and offer an even more discreet look. At Lien Orthodontics, we serve the communities of Hayfield, Austin, Albert Lea, Owatonna, Dodge Center, Waseca, New Richland, and Rochester in Minnesota. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff strive to provide our patients with the very best in orthodontic care.
