What Orthodontic Services Are Available in Summerlin?

If you’re exploring orthodontic care for yourself or your child in Summerlin, here’s a straightforward breakdown of what’s available and what the differences actually mean for your treatment.

Chenin Orthodontic Group, located at 1945 Village Center Circle in Summerlin, offers a full range of orthodontic services designed to work for patients at every stage of life. Our practice has served Las Vegas Valley families since 1978, and that depth of experience shows in every treatment plan.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces remain the most reliable and versatile option for complex orthodontic cases. Modern braces are significantly smaller and more comfortable than they were even a decade ago. For kids and teens who need comprehensive treatment, braces are often the most efficient path to a healthy, aligned smile. Chenin Orthodontic Group uses self-ligating, low-friction braces, which reduce friction on the wire and can shorten overall treatment time.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Clear braces work exactly like metal braces but use tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend with your smile. They’re a popular choice for older teens and adults who want the effectiveness of braces with a lower visual profile. Clear braces are available at both the Summerlin and Henderson locations.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of removable, nearly invisible trays to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. The aligners come out for eating, brushing, and flossing, which makes daily life significantly easier compared to fixed braces. Chenin Orthodontic Group is an Elite Top 1% Invisalign Provider, meaning they complete hundreds of Invisalign cases every year. That level of experience matters, especially for more complex cases.

Invisalign works for teens and adults. Many patients are surprised to learn it can address a wide range of issues, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

Early Treatment (Phase I Orthodontics)

Not all orthodontic treatment is for teenagers. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Early treatment, also called Phase I, addresses developing jaw and bite problems while a child’s growth is still on your side. Catching certain issues early can reduce the complexity, and sometimes the length, of treatment later.

Your orthodontist at Chenin Orthodontic Group is experienced in identifying when early intervention makes sense and when it’s better to wait. Not every child needs Phase I treatment, and you’ll get an honest answer about which applies to your child.

Retainers

Once active treatment is complete, retainers keep your teeth in their new position. Chenin Orthodontic Group provides retainers as part of the post-treatment process and will guide you on how long to wear them and how to care for them.
