Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Care from Ray Township
Can my child pick the color of the bands with braces?
Yes. Nearly every color of band is available for patients in braces. The braces at Fredal Orthodontics are the Damon Ultima system, and Invisalign is the practice’s only clear aligner system, so the color choice belongs to braces treatment rather than aligner treatment.
Does Fredal Orthodontics make a custom mouthguard for sports?
No. The practice makes appliances and retainers in its own office, with retainers made over models printed there, but it does not make custom sports guards. For a patient in braces at Fredal Orthodontics who plays a sport, Dr. Fredal recommends the Shock Doctor orthodontic mouthguard.
Can we take a copy of the 3D scan with us?
Yes. A USB copy of the 3D scan, with the data processing it needs, costs $450. The scan itself is free at a new-patient consultation. Those records are a 3D CBCT scan (a 3D X-ray), an iTero digital scan of the teeth and clinical photographs, and Dr. Fredal reviews them with you himself.
How are the braces put on at Fredal Orthodontics?
Dr. Fredal uses indirect bonding on every comprehensive braces case. Indirect bonding places the brackets onto a custom 3D-printed transfer tray instead of freehand on each tooth. He plans the case before that with DIBS AI software, and with the i-CAT FLX V17 CBCT and iTero Lumina scans merged.
Will Dr. Fredal say if it is too early to start treatment?
Yes. He does sometimes recommend against starting treatment. In his view, one of the biggest mistakes in orthodontics is starting before the timing is right. He looks at growth, dental development, skeletal relationships (how the jaws sit) and the goals of treatment, to decide not only how to treat but when to begin.
Do most Fredal Orthodontics patients get braces or Invisalign?
The split is 50/50: half of patients are treated with braces and half with Invisalign. Dr. Fredal gives his recommendation after he has reviewed your complete records with you. Both treatments are for children, teens and adults, at the one Shelby Township office.
