Orthodontics

At Innovative Dental, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to straightening a smile. That’s why we offer both Accelerated Invisalign® and traditional braces—so whether you’re after speed, simplicity, or a tried-and-true solution, you’ve got options that fit your life, not the other way around.

Invisalign®

Accelerated Invisalign moves and straightens teeth up to 50% faster than traditional Invisalign—so you can show off your new smile in half the time. Innovative Dental is one of Springfield’s top Invisalign providers and proudly holds Platinum Plus Provider status.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces have come a long way—and when started early, they can do even more. We take a two-phase approach that starts around age 7–8 to gently guide jaw and palate development, helping permanent teeth come in with the space they need. After Phase I, braces are removed to let adult teeth erupt naturally. Once those are in, Phase II begins to align and fine-tune the smile—often without the need for extractions. It’s the same cost as a single round of braces, with smarter timing and better long-term results.

T.A.D.s (Temporary Anchorage Devices)

TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) are small devices that help us move teeth with more control and precision—without relying on other teeth for leverage. They're a game-changer for complex orthodontic cases, especially when traditional braces or aligners alone aren’t enough. Dr. Westrich uses TADs to speed up treatment, improve results, and avoid extractions when possible. It’s one more way we use advanced tools to create smarter, more comfortable treatment plans.

Amazing Experience. This staff is very hospitable and professional. By far the best dental facility I have experienced. Danika, Emily, and Dr. Cook took great care of me!
