Dr. Lindsey has helped countless patients achieve straighter, healthier smiles with expert orthodontic solutions.

Braces have been a trusted solution for straightening teeth for decades, but modern advancements have made them more effective and comfortable than ever. Lindsey Orthodontics offers multiple options to fit different needs and preferences.

Types of Braces Available:

• Metal Braces – A time-tested solution that provides reliable and efficient tooth movement. These braces are more durable than ever and can correct even the most complex orthodontic issues.
• Ceramic Braces – Made with clear or tooth-colored brackets, ceramic braces blend in with natural teeth for a less noticeable appearance. They offer the same strength as traditional metal braces while being a more aesthetic option.
• Self-Ligating Braces – These braces use a specialized system that reduces friction, allowing for smoother and more efficient tooth movement. They require fewer adjustments, making them a convenient choice for patients who prefer fewer visits.

Benefits of Braces:

• Effectively corrects severe misalignment, bite issues, and spacing problems.
• Works for all ages, including children, teens, and adults.
• Provides precise results with consistent orthodontic adjustments.
• Modern designs offer more comfort and efficiency than older versions.
• Long-lasting improvements for overall dental health and smile aesthetics.

Orthodontic care isn’t just for teenagers—starting early can help prevent more complex dental issues later on. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Early treatment can guide jaw growth, correct developing bite issues, and create space for incoming permanent teeth.

Benefits of Early Orthodontic Care:

• Identifies potential orthodontic problems before they worsen.
• Can prevent overcrowding and severe misalignment.
• Reduces the need for tooth extractions in the future.
• Helps guide proper jaw growth and development.
• Improves speech development and chewing function.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids—many adults are choosing braces or Invisalign to enhance their smiles and improve oral health. Misaligned teeth can lead to jaw discomfort, uneven wear, and difficulty cleaning certain areas, increasing the risk of cavities or gum disease.

For adults looking for a more discreet option, Invisalign and ceramic braces offer effective solutions without the visibility of traditional braces.

Benefits of Adult Orthodontic Treatment:

• Provides long-term dental health benefits by correcting misalignment.
• Reduces strain on the jaw and prevents uneven wear on teeth.
• Offers discreet options like clear aligners or ceramic braces.
• Can boost confidence by improving the appearance of a smile.
• Customized plans allow flexibility to fit different lifestyles.

Lindsey Orthodontics is committed to providing expert care to patients of all ages in Locust Grove and surrounding areas. No matter the treatment, the goal is to create healthy, beautiful smiles with personalized orthodontic solutions.

Once teeth are moved into alignment, they need time to settle into place. The surrounding bone and tissues continue adjusting, and without a retainer, gradual shifting can occur. Wearing a retainer as instructed helps maintain results and prevents the need for additional treatment in the future.

Lindsey Orthodontics offers different retainer options based on individual needs and preferences.

• Hawley Retainers – A classic removable retainer made of acrylic and metal wire. It is durable, adjustable, and easy to clean.
• Clear Retainers – A transparent, removable option similar in appearance to Invisalign aligners. It provides a discreet way to maintain alignment.
• Fixed Retainers – A thin wire bonded to the back of the teeth, offering continuous support without needing daily removal. Ideal for patients who want a low-maintenance solution.

• Wear the retainer as instructed to prevent teeth from shifting.
• Clean removable retainers daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
• Avoid hot water, which can warp plastic retainers.
• Keep retainers in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage.
• Schedule follow-up visits to ensure the retainer remains in good condition.

Retainers help protect the investment made in orthodontic care. Lindsey Orthodontics provides customized retention plans to help patients in Griffin enjoy long-lasting results.

The first visit is all about understanding needs and goals. Dr. Lindsey performs a thorough evaluation, which includes:

• A discussion about concerns or smile preferences.
• Digital imaging to assess teeth and jaw alignment.
• A breakdown of available treatment options.
• A customized plan outlining the best approach for a healthy, straight smile.

This appointment is the perfect time to ask questions and learn more about the recommended treatment plan.

Every patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their needs. Lindsey Orthodontics offers a variety of options, including traditional braces, Invisalign, and early orthodontic intervention. Each plan focuses on achieving the best results in the most efficient way possible.

• Treatment length depends on the complexity of alignment issues.
• Regular checkups allow for adjustments and progress monitoring.
• Modern orthodontic technology enhances comfort and effectiveness.
