Orthodontics

Do uneven teeth mark your smile? Does a misaligned bite cause you headaches or chewing problems?

At Stony Creek Dentistry, Dr. Kathy S. Ratliff has provided bite correction through comprehensive orthodontics for more than a decade to both children and adults. Families in Noblesville know they can trust her with their children’s teeth because of the expert care she offers. Dr. Kathy S. Ratliff will examine your teeth, take a full set of radiographs, and then design a treatment plan using braces to bring your dentition into proper alignment. Typical orthodontic treatment takes 18 months to two years for completion. As your teeth progress toward ideal alignment, Dr. Kathy S. Ratliff will need to see you about every six weeks to adjust your braces and wires.

For those adults who are a little more hesitant to get braces. Dr. Kathy S. Ratliff offers Invisalign, the clear alternative to braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of, and best of all, most people won’t notice you’re in treatment.

A bad bite can cause a host of problems, including TMJ dysfunction. Don’t delay in calling orthodontist Dr. Kathy S. Ratliff if you or your child’s smile needs braces. Stony Creek Dentistry has straightened hundreds of smiles in Noblesville for more than a decade. We also provide braces for patients throughout the area, including Fishers, Westfield, and Carmel.
