What Is An Orthodontist?

At Smile Studio our goal is to provide the highest quality orthodontic care and treatment from the most qualified professionals available throughout Fairburn, Powder Springs, Lovejoy and surrounding areas of Georgia.

Many people believe a dentist and orthodontist are the same thing but that’s not quite the case. The two professional titles certainly have some similarities, and they do work together, but orthodontics is a specific type of dental care. An orthodontist is a specialist that treats certain types of dental problems.

Orthodontist in Powder Springs GA

What Does An Orthodontist Do?

An orthodontist such as Dr. Venn is a fully qualified dentist who takes on an additional 2-3 years of orthodontic schooling and gains extensive clinical experience in an orthodontic residency program. The American Association of Orthodontists is the overseeing body for this branch of elite dentistry.

The most important job for an orthodontist is identifying, treating, and preventing issues with your teeth and mouth. Orthodontists are experts at treating misaligned or overcrowded teeth, as well as bite problems (malocclusions). Malocclusions can also result when the upper and lower jaws don’t fit together properly, whether from premature loss of baby teeth, developmental abnormalities, trauma, or other causes.

Orthodontic Treatment

If you suffer from any of the following issues, you may be a candidate for orthodontic treatment:

Overbite	where the upper front teeth stick out over the lower teeth
Underbite	where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back
Cross bite	when the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally
Open bite	space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together
Misplaced midline	when the center of your upper front teeth does not line up with the center of your lower front teeth
Spacing	gaps between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not “fill up” the mouth
Crowding	when there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate

Types of Treatments

Traditional Braces – made from a high-grade stainless steel with metal brackets and archwires, which put pressure on teeth to move slowly into the correct position.
Clear braces – work in the same way as traditional braces, but the brackets are made from a clear, transparent ceramic material.
Invisalign – custom-made removable clear aligners that are virtually invisible and work in increments.
Invisalign Teen – clear aligners that are removable and virtually invisible to ensure you still enjoy your favorite foods and social events.

Reasons to Visit An Orthodontist in Powder Springs GA

Achieving a healthy smile – a healthy smile not only looks good, but can also offer benefits such as increasing chewing functionality and improving speech
Boosting confidence – a beautiful smile can provide a dramatic boost in self esteem.
Starting on the right path – children can avoid and prevent arising problems when seen at the right age.
Preventing future problems – when untreated, many orthodontic issues can become worse over time.

Invisalign Vs. Smile Direct Club

Are you having trouble deciding between Invisalign Vs. Smile Direct Club? At Smile Studio Orthodontics, we are dedicated to educating our patients about the latest treatments and offering affordable costs that accommodate any budget.

Where Can I Find Out About Invisalign Vs. Smile Direct Club Near Me?

Our team at Smile Studio Orthodontics specializes in Invisalign and Invisalign Teen in Fairburn GA. As a leading Newnan orthodontist, Dr. Venn is knowledgeable and experienced in all forms of orthodontic care. As a result, we provide supervised treatment with Invisalign by an orthodontic specialist that received the necessary education and training to help guarantee the best possible results.

What Is Invisalign?

The Invisalign system uses sets of clear aligner trays to provide the same results as traditional braces. Clear aligners are virtually invisible so no one will ever have to know about your orthodontic treatment. Each set of aligners is made of smooth and lightweight plastic to gently and gradually shift teeth into alignment. Invisalign and Invisalign Teen are custom-made with SmartTrack material for a perfect fit that will never slip out or affect your speech.

What Is Smile Direct Club?

Smile Direct Club also utilizes sets of clear aligners to achieve straighter teeth. However, Smile Direct Club is designed to eliminate visits to an orthodontist by allowing treatment to be completed from home. First, you will need to locate a nearby “SmileShop” where dental impressions are taken. In addition, you also have the option of receiving a dental impression kit in the mail. Once your dental impressions are received, each set of aligners will be delivered right to your door. However, it is important to keep in mind that Smile Direct Club eliminates the supervision of an orthodontist or dental professional throughout the course of treatment.

Why Choose Invisalign With A Certified Orthodontist?

The American Dental Association strongly discourages against do-it-yourself orthodontics because of the potential dangers or harm it can cause. It is believed that supervision by a licensed dentist or orthodontist is necessary for all phases of orthodontic treatment including oral and periodontal examinations, X-rays, treatment planning, prescriptions, periodic progress evaluations, and a stable final assessment. If the current course of treatment is not achieving the proper results, an orthodontist has the choice to switch to braces or another form of effective treatment. As a result, continuous supervision by a Fairburn orthodontist such as Dr. Venn will ensure the health of your teeth to prevent tooth loss and any other unnecessary complications.

Finding The Difference Of Invisalign Vs. Smile Direct Club

In conclusion, Dr. Venn and our team at Smile Studio Orthodontics are experts in various forms of orthodontic treatment. We are here to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, or Smile Direct Club in Fairburn GA, Riverdale GA, Newnan GA, Douglasville GA, Union City GA, East Point GA, Lovejoy GA, and Powder Springs GA.

How much do braces cost (or Invisalign)…and how to budget for them!

Every day we are asked “Just how much do braces cost?”.

The answer is… “That depends”.

Every patient has different needs and we customize their treatment exactly to those needs.

Here in Fairburn, Lovejoy and Powder Springs we at Atlanta Smile Studio help our patients decide on orthodontic treatments that will be right for them. This includes making them affordable.

Some adults might hesitate to wear braces because they fear the cost of the treatment. They would love to be able to improve themselves by making a big, positive difference to their smile. Self-confidence can be improved a lot with a better smile. Every day we are helping patients discover how affordable adult braces are.

Adults sometimes hesitate to wear braces because they worry about how it looks or how long the treatment is. Much like any other self-improvement process, like going to the gym, it takes some time for results to be seen. Adult braces have well known results. It takes a some time, but an incredible smile is well worth it.

Therefore, most adults use Invisalign. This Invisalign is a system of clear, customized aligners that straighten your teeth even faster than traditional braces. You come into the office fewer times and the treatment is completed sooner. And since they are invisible nobody knows you are wearing them.

Your treatment costs will depend on the severity of the problems.

You will receive a full exam which will result in a treatment plan. We will use that plan to determine what your costs will be, before any treatment begins.

Bring your insurance. Bring everything. We will submit the paperwork to your insurance company and manage the whole process with them, but we require the information.
Insurance companies make agreements with each other. If you have more than one policy bring all of that information. We will help co-ordinate your coverage.
If you pay in full before your treatment begins we will give you a discount. This only needs to be the portion your insurance would not pay.
There are limits. Lifetime limits and procedural limits exist with different policies. We will find out what limits apply to your situation.
We accept Visa and Mastercard.
Your HSA account can provide extra funds if your insurance limits or maximums are reached. A Health Savings Account is an excellent resource for federally tax free money. You can use it for your orthodontics. Check to see what your balance is and use it all up! You can’t get that money back and it doesn’t roll over to next year.
Do not assume anything. Your insurance coverage may be better or worse than you think. Orthodontic coverage is different than typical dental coverage.
If there is a balance leftover, after your insurance has paid, we will work with you to make a payment plan over several months so you can have the affordable braces your smile deserves.

Here at Atlanta Smile Studio we will determine a treatment plan customized for you, then determine your insurance coverage. We make adult braces in Atlanta, at our Fairburn, Lovejoy and Powder Springs offices affordable. We are here to make sure that you can have that smile of your dreams!

The Truth about Braces: Busting the Top 5 Orthodontic Myths

Choosing to pursue braces as treatment for a dental condition is a big decision. There are many factors to consider from cost to length of treatment to aesthetic. Dr. Leroy Venn and the team at Atlanta Smile Studio are experts in braces and we want to alleviate your fears! Here are our top 5 myths (some silly and some understandable) about braces, BUSTED!

Busting Orthodontic Myths

Myth: Braces are always painful!

Some discomfort is inevitable when wearing braces, but due to advancements in materials used, the minor pain experienced is more than manageable! There are also options outside of traditional braces that offer varied levels of comfort and discretion.

Myth: Traditional braces are your only option!

When you think of braces, you may think of clunky, metal headgear. The truth is that there are new options outside of traditional, metal braces that can be more comfortable and make the appearance of braces far less obvious. They include:

Invisalign
Invisalign Teen
Clear/Ceramic Braces
Lingual Braces

Myth: I can’t play an instrument with braces!

As an expert in braces in the Fairburn GA area, Dr. Venn would never discourage her patients from doing something they love, especially something as important as playing music. Because braces are foreign to you, you will go through a period of adjustment, at first, but once that’s over, you will hardly notice that they are there, playing music as beautifully as before!

Myth: I will be more apt to be struck by lightning!

You’d be surprised at how often we are asked about lightning! People who wear braces have a 1 in 700,000 chance of being struck by lightning, which is the same as people without braces. We are glad to report that braces do not make you a lightning pole!

Myth: I’m too old for braces!

We hear this, all of the time! The truth is that 25% of all orthodontic patients are adults. With the development of some of the above mentioned options in treatment (most popularly, Invisalign), more adults are committing to pursuing orthodontics in order to improve their health, as well as their

Dr. Venn, and the team at the Atlanta Smile Studio want nothing more than for you to be comfortable with your choice to pursue braces in the Powder Springs GA, Fairburn GA, Lovejoy GA areas.
