The latest advances in orthodontics.

There are always new and exciting developments being made in the field of orthodontics. Part of what makes Dr. Rigsbee's care so unique is that he stays on top of these innovations through continuing education and membership in many dental organizations. With the help of modern equipment and correction techniques, your smile and bite can often be straightened in significantly less time than in the past.

In-office lab Performing lab work such as creating retainers, expanders, splints and space maintainers allows Dr. Rigsbee to have complete control over many laboratory procedures. Of course, this means more precise and comfortable appliances for you, not to mention a faster turnaround.

Top-quality materials To ensure the best results and maximize patient comfort, Dr. Rigsbee uses only the finest materials, brackets, wires and adhesives.

Braces to match the look you want Choose from conventional or cosmetic clear braces, which are perfect for the esthetically conscious patient. Cosmetic clear brackets are made of colorless, clear sapphire crystal that doesn't absorb colors or odors.

Self-ligating brackets These state-of-the-art braces may offer greater patient comfort and require fewer office visits. And, in many cases, self-ligating brackets may achieve the desired results in less time than with traditional braces.

Titanium wires These revolutionary wires are extremely smooth and reduce friction, plus they offer superior strength and are resistant to breakage.

Invisalign This is a revolutionary way of straightening your teeth without metal wires or brackets. Invisalign works through a series of clear, comfortable aligners that you can remove whenever you eat, drink, brush or floss. Candidates for Invisalign include adults and teens.

Fun, colorful elastics Dr. Rigsbee makes wearing braces fun for kids and teenagers by offering lots of fun-colored elastics. They can choose from school colors, holiday themes or their favorite sports teams.

Advanced sterilization procedures To ensure that your dental visits are afforded a germ-free environment, Dr. Rigsbee used advanced sterilization techniques that meet or exceed all OSHA guidelines.

Fluoride treatments Dr. Rigsbee provides topical fluoride treatments to help prevent — and even reverse early signs of tooth decay. He also uses fluoride-releasing bonding agents for braces.
