Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets and wires. At Lenz Orthodontics, Dr. Mike Lenz personally plans and oversees Invisalign treatment for teens and adults, creating a customized approach based on each patient’s smile, bite, and treatment goals. Invisalign treatment is available at our Racine and Waterford offices.
Metal & Clear Braces
At Lenz Orthodontics, we offer advanced metal and clear braces using the Pitts 21 bracket system. This system gives Dr. Mike Lenz precise control over tooth movement while allowing treatment to be customized to each patient’s individual bite, facial features, and smile goals. Whenever appropriate, we emphasize treatment approaches that preserve permanent teeth while creating broad, natural-looking smiles and supporting healthy airway development and function. Metal and clear options are available for children, teens, and adults at our Racine and Waterford offices.
Gummy Smile Treatment
A gummy smile occurs when more gum tissue than desired shows when smiling. At Lenz Orthodontics, Dr. Mike Lenz uses advanced orthodontic techniques, including braces or Invisalign and, when appropriate, temporary anchorage devices (TADs), to improve tooth position and smile proportions. In selected cases, these approaches can provide significant improvement without jaw surgery, creating a more balanced and natural-looking smile.
Airway Aware Orthodontics
At Lenz Orthodontics, we consider airway and facial development as part of a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation. When appropriate, Dr. Mike Lenz may use 3D imaging and other diagnostic information to evaluate craniofacial development and identify findings that may warrant further evaluation. For growing children, orthodontic treatment can also address certain jaw and dental relationships while growth is occurring. When airway concerns are identified, we may collaborate with the patient’s physician or other healthcare professionals as part of a multidisciplinary approach.
Lenz Smileguard Retention System
Lenz Orthodontics uses advanced digital technology to create and deliver the most advanced retainer system possible. With the Lenz Smile Guard, you will receive TWO clear retainers and one 3D printed model. This allows patients and parents the ultimate solution to maintain your beautiful healthy Lenz Smile for a lifetime!
