Lingual Braces
Lingual braces provide discreet orthodontic treatment by placing customized brackets behind teeth. This technology enables professionals and image-conscious patients to achieve proper alignment without visible hardware. The system offers precise control over tooth movement while maintaining aesthetic appearance, making it ideal for adults requiring significant dental corrections.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use custom-fabricated plastic trays to gradually reposition teeth. This removable system suits patients seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces, allowing for easy oral hygiene maintenance. Treatment involves sequential aligner changes every one to two weeks, with SmartTrack material providing comfortable fit and predictable tooth movement for various malocclusion types.
Surgical Orthodontics
Combining orthodontics with corrective jaw surgery, this specialized treatment addresses severe skeletal discrepancies. Pre-surgical alignment followed by surgical repositioning corrects functional impairments and facial asymmetry. Our approach focuses on non-surgical options first while preparing patients for coordinated surgical interventions when necessary, improving both dental function and facial aesthetics.
TMJ Therapy
Our non-surgical TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through orthodontic interventions. Customized plans alleviate pain, improve jaw function, and correct bite discrepancies using specialized appliances and precise tooth movement. This approach often eliminates the need for invasive procedures while addressing underlying occlusal causes of joint dysfunction.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatment programs cater to adult patients seeking dental corrections without compromising aesthetics or professional appearance. Using advanced techniques like lingual braces and clear aligners, we address complex malocclusions while considering existing dental work and periodontal health. Treatment combines functional improvement with smile enhancement for patients returning for post-orthodontic maintenance.

Questions
What orthodontic options exist for adults seeking discreet treatment?
We offer lingual braces placed behind teeth, clear aligners like Invisalign, and customized aesthetic solutions. These options provide effective tooth movement while maintaining professional appearance.
How do lingual braces differ from traditional braces?
Lingual braces attach to tooth backsides, making them invisible from the front. Custom-fabricated brackets provide precise movement control while maintaining aesthetic benefits preferred by professionals and image-conscious patients.
Can TMJ disorders be treated without surgery?
Our practice specializes in non-surgical TMJ therapy through orthodontic interventions. Custom appliances and precise bite alignment often alleviate symptoms without requiring invasive procedures, focusing on long-term functional improvement.
What makes Arizona Orthodontics unique for complex cases?
Dr. Henry's specialized training in orthognathic surgery and TMJ disorders, combined with advanced imaging technologies, enables comprehensive treatment of complex malocclusions without immediate surgical intervention.
How long does adult orthodontic treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies by complexity but generally ranges from 12-36 months. Advanced technologies like SureSmile robotics and digital treatment planning help optimize timelines while maintaining precision for mature dental structures.
Do you accept out-of-area patients for specialized treatment?
Yes, we welcome patients traveling for specialized care. The practice coordinates treatment schedules for long-distance patients and maintains communication with referring dentists to ensure comprehensive care.

Report
I was referred to this provider by my oral surgeon. I was very misled by the reviews. 3 weeks ago I had an appointment I did not attend. They asked the reason and so I told them I had a respiratory infection at that time. I am asymptomatic now, tested negative for covid twice, fully vaccinated, took steroids and antibiotics and stayed home from work for 2 weeks. They are refusing to see me regardless of this. My braces have never lasted more than a couple days without the wires coming out. My anchorage device is also broken and the inside of my mouth is completely torn up because of it. The only

Report
I have had braces for 6 years now. They recently said I have a year more. They have been saying that for years now. I also had 2 screws placed in the roof of my mouth that were supposed to be used to support my upper mouth while rubber bands were in use. I had ended up not needed rubber bands resulting in useless pain of having 2 screws jammed up a bones in my mouth. This place is not consistant, expensive, and seem to not care what you are going through. Only reason Im giving them 2 besides 1 is because they have one very nice orthodontist that I think deserves to be in a better place.

I've been a patient of Dr. Henry's for 12 years and I continue to go to him for routine check-ups. I had braces for 5 years and wore the traditional wire retainers then upgraded to the Sure Smile Liners just 2 years ago. He's honest and flexible. Dr. Henry will work with you to ensure that all of your concerns are met- be it concerns about your smile, payment/financing, or certain procedures. He wants your smile to be just perfect.

I am happy to place on record for the outstanding service provided by Dr. Howard L Henry and his dedicated staff. My entire family; self, wife, and both children worked with Dr. Henry and his team for over a decade and we are very pleased with the care and services provided. I had lingual braces (orthodontic brackets on the inner sides of the teeth) and no one noticed the work done to get me a better wider smile. Dr. Henry's commitment to me was to give a million dollar smile, which he did! I also learned a few tips from Dr. Henry on how to keep the client's interest on top and provide the best
