Dr. Biermann Has Been Working With Patients Needing Braces on their Top Teeth in Beaverton for Over 17 Years — We Have Hundreds of Five Star Reviews From Patients Like You
“Amazing! Rachelle is an absolute angel on earth, and Dr. Biermann is kind, professional, AND just a cool dude! They are so knowledgeable and take the time to ensure that you are completely informed and understand everything being proposed to you. I felt so safe and comfortable and immediately canceled my other consultations for adult braces to price shop because the customer service and thorough exam I received here is worth whatever price they set. I’m very glad I found them!”
“One of the best dental/orthodontist experiences I’ve had. Extremely friendly staff and super efficient! I have really bad anxiety when it comes to being seen by any doctor and the clinic was so comfortable that I was at ease the entire appointment! Will definitely be recommending and going back for future needs!”
“We had a very positive experience with Dr. Biermann and his team. My child has some sensory issues and they were extremely patient and took their time to make sure my child was comfortable. The entire staff was extremely kind and professional.”
“So grateful for the team at Biermann Orthodontics!! Although I had braces as a teen, over the years my teeth moved and it affected my bite and aesthetically it also bothered me. I considered orthodontics for years but was hesitant to pursue treatment thinking it was too expensive and I was too old, etc.. Luckily, we were referred to Dr. Biermann when my daughter needed to start treatment. After meeting the team it was clear this could be much easier than I originally thought. Everyone on the team is kind and knowledgeable. They strive for punctuality with appointments being on time or even earlier. Initially I was advised my alignment could take a year; here I am 4 months later, done with treatment and so happy with the results. If you need orthodontic care, don’t hesitate to go for a consultation- you will be glad you did!”
“First, everyone was very professional and kind to my daughter every time she came to get her braces adjusted. Second, they made sure that I understood everything that was going to be included procedure-wise during the time she needed braces. Finally, they were flexible about scheduling appointments to fit when we needed. Overall a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Biermann and his team.”
“We just had a consultation for my teen. The office was clean and the staff were efficient. You can tell that Dr Biermann has good experience, is very knowledgeable and enjoys what he does. We ended up with several options for payment plans that all seem reasonable for not having any ortho insurance benefits through my job.”
“I had several orthodontic appointments lined up with different offices to decide where I wanted to begin I my treatment. As soon as I walked into the office I knew that Biermann is where I wanted to be! Everyone was genuinely friendly and willing to answer all of my questions. Every office visit since, Victoria welcomes me into the space by my name and makes me feel like I belong in there. I appreciate Dr. Biermann and his team, they’re becoming like family to me!”
“My daughter’s dentist has recommended Bierman Orthodontics for her braces/Invisalign. I really liked the way they helped us to understand the process and answered all our questions with patience. Such a warm, friendly and professional staff. Whole staff is so awesome!”
“We found Biermann Orthodontics when we first moved back to Oregon. They were great at getting our girls Ortho care transferred and set up. They are an extremely professional and friendly office and take such good care of our girls. They are so good at giving us options when possible to consider what will best help our girls Ortho needs.”
“From my initial phone call to the end of my scheduled consultation appointment, I was treated with kindness. The information was thorough and there was no pressure or sales pitch. Dr. Biermann and his staff are friendly, helpful and professional.”
Biermann Orthodontics Has Experience Creating Treatment Plans Involving Braces For Top Teeth Only
When it comes to straightening your teeth, the solution and process are as unique as you! You have many different options to correct your smile depending on your bone structure, bone loss, and the amount of time you’ll need braces.
Depending on your needs, you may need single-arch treatment (braces for only top teeth) or dual-arch treatment (braces for top and bottom teeth).
Reasons you may be a candidate for single-arch treatment:
- Slight arch correction on your top row of teeth for aesthetic purposes.
- Minor tooth movement in only one or two teeth
- Mild crowding
- Tooth overlap
- Orthodontic relapse
Your orthodontist can consult with you to determine whether your orthodontic needs can be solved with single-arch treatment on your top teeth.
Bone Structure
Braces can fix a host of different orthodontic issues. If you have an overbite, underbite, open bite, or deep bite, these can be corrected with orthodontic treatments like braces. Braces are a common treatment to correct any issues dealing with the bone structure of your mouth and jaw.
Biermann Orthodontics can perform comprehensive screening to determine if you would benefit from braces to correct issues affecting your top teeth.
Correcting Teeth Spacing
One of the common reasons patients come in for a consultation is to correct tooth spacing. Braces may be an excellent option if there is too much spacing, such as gaps between teeth or too little spacing resulting in overcrowding.
Biermann is happy to evaluate your teeth and create a plan to give you the smile you want. If your top teeth have gaps or are crowded, you may only be a candidate for braces on these teeth.
Braces As an Adult
Many people are hesitant to get braces as an adult. While many patients are children and teenagers, getting braces as an adult is perfectly acceptable and often necessary. Whether you never had the chance to get orthodontic work as a child or your teeth have shifted as you’ve gotten older, getting braces is entirely normal for an adult.
Answering the Most Frequently Asked Questions About Braces for Top Teeth
Can You Get Braces For Only Top Teeth?
The short answer to this is yes. In certain instances, it is possible to only need single-arch treatment, where you’d only get brackets and wires on the top row of your teeth.
In order to determine whether this option will be effective for you, your orthodontist should complete a comprehensive evaluation before creating a treatment plan.
Is It Cheaper To Get Braces Just On My Top Teeth?
The cost of orthodontic work depends on the treatments required. Just because you are only getting braces on your top teeth doesn’t mean your treatment plan is any less extensive than if it were to include your bottom teeth.
Biermann Orthodontics strives to offer patients reasonable pricing without hidden costs. During your evaluation, we will review what your treatment entails and what it will cost you.
Can Biermann Orthodontics Complete Single Arch Treatments?
Absolutely! Dr. Biermann and his team have years of experience completing complex treatments that other orthodontists in the area may not be able or willing to do.
Biermann Orthodontics will conduct an extensive pre-treatment evaluation to determine if you or your child would benefit from braces on your top teeth only. If a single-arch treatment is the best option, we will happily complete your treatment from start to finish.
Will Braces Hurt?
Getting fitted for your braces should not be painful. You may feel some pressure, but it should be painless.
Braces work to correct your smile by moving your teeth and palette slowly over time, so you may feel mild discomfort in the days following a tightening. Thankfully, patients report that this pain doesn’t last more than a couple of days and lessens over time.
The team at Biermann Orthodontics is happy to discuss options to help you manage your discomfort and make the process as painless as possible.
