The impact of orthodontics goes far beyond improving your smile’s aesthetics. Straightening your smile can improve your chewing power, oral health, general health, jaw function, and more. At Cambridge Family Dental, Dr. Angela Bauer and our team offer numerous teeth straightening options to make orthodontic care as easy as possible. Here are some questions your Cambridge, Wisconsin dentist is often asked about orthodontics to help you determine the best treatment.
Orthodontic treatment can correct dental problems that impact daily activities like eating, speaking, and smiling. These problems include:Â Â
Realigning your smile through orthodontics can help improve your quality of life.
Dr. Bauer and our team offer diverse teeth straightening options to improve the quality of your smile. Traditional metal braces remain one of the top ways to straighten crooked teeth, as they can correct even the most severe malocclusion and crowding issues. Ceramic braces work similarly but are more discreet.
Clear aligner therapy offers an alternative to metal braces in correcting minor to moderate orthodontic issues, which applies to most people. In place of metal brackets and wires, you’ll use smooth, plastic aligners to shift your teeth into proper alignment. The aligners are worn full-time, even when you sleep, and are removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing your teeth.
By replacing metal hardware with clear, plastic, removable aligners, clear aligner systems like Invisalign and 6 Month Smiles make it easier to straighten crooked teeth. Clear aligners offer greater comfort and convenience without compromising the effectiveness of straightening your teeth. Throughout your treatment, you can continue to practice good oral hygiene and eat without any restrictions by taking out your aligners to brush and floss. The aligners are also transparent and won’t impact your appearance. Clear aligner therapy is good for adults and teens. Dr. Bauer can tailor your treatment to meet your specific dental needs.
That depends on the problems that need to be fixed. Minor issues like closing gaps between teeth may take as little as six months to correct, while major issues can take as long as 18 months to correct. Your compliance with wearing the aligners as instructed, 22 hours daily, can help expedite your treatment.
Yes! If your idea of perfect teeth is a healthy, straight, functional smile that’s attractive and pleasing, we can make it happen with clear aligner orthodontic treatment.

Hello! I’m Dr. Angela Bauer, and I would like to welcome you to my dental practice in beautiful
Cambridge, Wisconsin. The most important part of my practice is taking care of my patients in a
compassionate and honorable way. I will treat you like I treat my own family and friends, with utmost
honesty and your best interests at heart at all times.
Because my practice is a locally-owned small business and not a corporation, we can focus on doing the
right thing for our patients. We only hire the best people and use the best materials for our patients
to ensure healthy, long-lasting, and beautiful treatment. My practice is designed with your comfort in
mind, from the inviting waiting room upon entry to the relaxing view with gorgeous landscaping and
wildlife from our treatment rooms. We even have blankets and headphones for your comfort.
I utilize only the most modern and proven techniques and materials in treatment. That way, my patients
get all the benefits of the best care possible. We have all the latest technologies, including digital
scanners for optimal results, digital x-rays for precision, and even intraoral cameras to take pictures
of teeth. That way, if you do need treatment, we can show you exactly why, so there is no uncertainty.
I have been in practice for over 20 years, and during that time I have strived to be the best dentist
possible for my patients. In 2017 I was honored with a Fellowship Award from the Academy of General Dentistry. Just this year, the same Academy awarded me with a Mastership, which only two percent of practicing dentists currently hold. That is my practice! I am Dr. Angela Bauer, and I invite you to come
and see why we are different.
