Invisalign
Invisalign has changed the way people think about orthodontic treatment, and at Darien Orthodontics, Dr. Daniel Jarrett brings both the expertise and the personalized touch that make this technology truly shine. Using a series of custom-crafted, clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth, Invisalign gradually and precisely shifts your smile into alignment without a bracket or wire in sight. The aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without interruption, making it one of the most lifestyle-friendly treatment options available for teens and adults alike.
What sets the Invisalign experience at Darien Orthodontics apart is Dr. Jarrett's commitment to planning each case with meticulous care. From your initial scan to your final aligner, every step of your treatment is thoughtfully mapped out to deliver results that are both beautiful and lasting. Whether you're a busy professional, an active teen, or simply someone who has been waiting for the right moment to invest in your smile, Invisalign at Darien Orthodontics offers a path to straighter teeth that fits seamlessly into your life.
Early treatment
While every child might not need early treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists does recommend an orthodontic consultation for all children by age 7.
An orthodontist can evaluate your child’s tooth eruption and facial growth at this age and determine if early treatment can help correct uneven jaw growth, a crossbite, overbite, underbite or sleep disturbances and habits such as thumbsucking.
At this age, a child's jaw is still actively growing, which means there is a unique window to guide development in ways that simply aren't possible later in life. During an early evaluation, When early treatment is recommended, the goal is not necessarily to complete every aspect of orthodontic care in one phase, but rather to address concerns at the ideal moment so that future treatment is simpler, shorter, and more effective. We can also help break habits like thumbsucking that, left unaddressed, can significantly alter the development of the teeth and jaw over time. Dr. Jarrett has even seen early orthodontic intervention play a supportive role in identifying and addressing sleep disturbances in children, which can be connected to airway and jaw development concerns.

retainers
After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers are the key to keeping your teeth in their new, corrected positions. Once your braces or aligners are removed, your teeth have a natural tendency to shift back toward where they started, a process called relapse. At Darien Orthodontics, we fit every patient with a custom retainer designed to hold your smile in place as the bone and tissues around your teeth fully stabilize. We offer both removable retainers, such as clear Essix-style trays that are nearly invisible when worn, and fixed retainers, which are thin wires bonded discreetly to the back of your teeth for continuous, worry-free protection.
Wearing your retainer as directed is one of the most important things you can do to preserve your orthodontic investment. Most patients are instructed to wear their retainer full-time initially, then transition to nighttime wear as their teeth settle. With proper care, retainers can last for many years, keeping your smile looking exactly the way you and your orthodontist worked so hard to achieve. The team at Darien Orthodontics is always here to answer your questions, make adjustments, and provide replacement retainers if needed.
