Appliances For Braces

Our Brookings, Milbank, Aberdeen, and Watertown orthodontists use various appliances to help correct your teeth and give you a more comfortable bite. Appliances aid braces in leveling and aligning various bite types to achieve the best possible results.

Watch the videos below to learn more about the various appliances we use to give you a beautiful, confident smile!

Anterior Crossbite Appliance

 

Bite Turbo

Bite Turbos are temporary treatments to prevent upper and lower teeth from fully coming together.

 

Bite Turbo with Braces

 

Bonded RPE (Rapid Palatal Expander)

This fixed expander uses acrylic to bond the expander directly to the teeth.

 

Distal Jet Appliance

The Distal Jet Appliance is a non-removable appliance that is used to move upper teeth backward faster and more predictably than headgear.

 

Distal Jet Expander

 

Elastic Tooth Separator

Separators are small rubber rings that are placed between teeth to create space for molar bands.

 

Herbst Appliance Soft Tissue

The Herbst appliance corrects overbites and underdeveloped lower jaws. It also improves facial profiles by increasing lower jaw growth. The appliance is placed on the upper and lower teeth and stays there until the bite is corrected (10-12 months).

This appliance is the quickest and best appliance to correct certain bite problems including overbites and underdeveloped lower jaws. Fully contained within your mouth, it doesn’t show and works for you 24 hours a day.

 

Herbst with Expander

Turning Your Expander

 

Palatal Expander

A palatal expander widens the upper jaw by applying gentle pressure on the upper molars every time an adjustment or turn is made.

Our 5-Star Experience

patient TESTIMONIALS

Brittany A.
The care and kindness we receive here has been nothing, but great! The gained confidence in my daughters smile is the icing on the cake. 💜 highly recommend.
Zeljana K.
Love this place! I love how friendly and supportive the whole team is. They genuinely care about their patients and go the extra mile to make each visit a positive experience.
I’m so happy with my results and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for high-quality orthodontic care!
Sara S.
The whole team at VanLaecken has been so amazing to work with. Starting with our initial consultation which answered all of our questions, to being able to call and get assistance after hours to help with a loose wire, squeezing us in when we something comes up and making sure my child is comfortable during every step of the process. The hygienists are so friendly and the Docs are the best of the best. It’s only been a few months but the results on my child so far have been astonishing. 1000/10 would recommend VanLaecken ortho for anyone who is considering orthodontic care.
Jael K.
Have been fortunate enough to be a patient of Vanlacken ! They have done an amazing job with making my smile perfect! When something wasn’t quite perfect they went right to work! Super friendly staff! Nice environment!
Megan
My daughter said all the staff were nice, kind, and gentle with her teeth and they did an excellent job!
Tara H.
Was so easy to get started. Take a few pictures, they emailed back. We were able to make monthly payments. We had put braces on my oldest daughter for a huge chunk of change, somewhere else. I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter ended up on the other side of the state and wanted braces that at VanLaecken their prices were half than what we paid in the past. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating around her college schedule. We are so in love with her beautiful smile.
MyLee R.
Cannot say enough good about them through my daughter’s process! All of the hygienists are so kind and patient! As is Dr Ryan. He went above and beyond for my family. Thank you!
Trista G.
We have had great experiences at this orthodontist location! Friendly staff. Not only do they do quality work, I greatly appreciate their efficiency and not having to wait in the waiting room a long time after check-in. Pam at the front desk is always helpful and friendly. The only thing that would be better is if they had a mobile unit to travel around! Sometimes it stinks driving so far for a 10 minute appointment but that’s our choice to live in small town. 😊
Renae F.
I'm very happy with experience we have been having at VanLaecken Orthodontics in Aberdeen. Very punctual, kind, answered all our questions and listened to any concerns we had.
Rodney H.
The atmosphere is wonderful and friendly, not snobbish or cold. Questions are answered clearly and results are amazing! The staff is fun and informative!
Amanda E.
Very happy with the service we have received at VanLaecken Orthodontics! They are upfront with their pricing, quick at appointments, and friendly! I especially like the appointments they have for kids who are not quite ready for braces, we come in periodically for check ups with no cost and don't feel pressured to start care until fully needed. Highly recommend this office!
Brittany P.
VanLaecken Orthodontics gave my daughters a confident smile and more of a reason to smile!! We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome!
Camden L.
This is the best place to get braces, with their help my smile is 1000 times better
brandon S.
I have not had a bad encounter with VanLaecken staff. They are very welcoming and encouraging. My experience with Invisalign with them has been straightforward, and easy. I’m thankful for them, and recommend them to everyone who needs a straighter smile!
Kasey S.
I can’t say enough good things about VanLaecken Orthodontics. Even coming from someone in the dental field, the level of care here truly stands out. Dr. Ryan has taken care of my kids for years and now is treating me as well. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns, explain options, and make sure I feel comfortable with every step of the process. The entire team is kind, professional, and so great with families. I wouldn’t trust our smiles to anyone else!
