Orthodontic Treatment

Space Maintainers

Baby teeth play an important role in guiding permanent teeth into place. When one is lost too early, a space maintainer helps preserve the space needed for healthy development.

This simple appliance can help prevent nearby teeth from shifting and reduce the need for more complex treatment later.

Orthodontic Treatment

Retainers

Retainers are the key to protecting your new smile long after braces or clear aligner treatment is complete.

Using our in-house 3D printing technology, we create custom retainers designed specifically for your smile, making replacement retainers faster and more convenient when needed.

Orthodontic Treatment

Palatal Expanders

Palatal expanders help guide healthy jaw development and create the space growing smiles need for permanent teeth and proper bite alignment.

Using advanced 3D printing technology, Dr. Vivian Snider creates custom-fit palatal expanders designed specifically for your child's smile, providing a comfortable fit while supporting efficient treatment and fewer appointments.

Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic Appliances

Some smiles benefit from additional orthodontic appliances that help guide jaw growth, create space for developing teeth, support healthy eruption, or improve bite alignment.

Whether your treatment includes a palatal expander, space maintainer, or another appliance, Dr. Vivian Snider will explain exactly why it's recommended and what you can expect every step of the way.

Common Orthodontic Concerns

Every smile is different. We treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, spacing, crossbites, overbites, underbites, impacted teeth, and more.

Dr. Vivian Snider creates personalized treatment plans designed to improve both the health and appearance of your smile.

Orthodontic Treatment

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are a modern orthodontic solution designed to help you achieve a beautiful, straight smile with a more discreet appearance than traditional metal braces. Made from clear or tooth-colored materials, ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them a popular choice for those who are conscious about their appearance during orthodontic treatment.

Whether you've always wanted a straighter smile or you're looking to improve your oral health and bite, Dr. Snider creates personalized treatment plans designed around your goals, schedule, and lifestyle.

With advanced technology and discreet treatment options like clear aligners and ceramic braces, orthodontic treatment fits more comfortably into your lifestyle than ever before.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a comfortable, nearly invisible alternative to braces for teens and adults in Bozeman.

Designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, they're removable for meals, brushing, sports, and special occasions.

With advanced digital treatment planning and remote monitoring when appropriate, we make treatment as convenient and efficient as possible.

Orthodontic Treatment

Braces

Braces are one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments for creating healthy, beautifully aligned smiles.

They can correct everything from simple crowding to more complex bite concerns with predictable, lasting results.

Dr. Vivian Snider offers personalized treatment with both metal and ceramic braces, carefully designing every smile around your unique needs and goals.

Orthodontic Treatment

Early Orthodontic Treatment

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child visit an orthodontist around age 7.

That doesn't mean every child needs braces. It simply gives us the opportunity to evaluate how the teeth, bite, and jaws are developing while your child is still growing.

Many children simply benefit from observation, while others may benefit from Phase I orthodontic treatment that guides healthy growth and helps prevent more complex problems later.

Orthodontic Treatment
