Trusted Orthodontists in Erie
Dr. Kenneth A. Doleski first became interested in orthodontics after receiving treatment as a teenager. This encouraged him to complete his undergraduate work at Allegheny College and follow it up by getting his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh Dental School. He then earned his specialty certification in orthodontics at the University of Iowa Orthodontic School. Dr. Doleski has been providing high-quality orthodontic care since 1991.
At an early age, Dr. Marian S. Wolford worked for her father, a general dentist, after school and during summers. This fostered a love of dentistry that would last a lifetime. She then went on to earn her bachelor's degree from the University of Pittsburgh before following it up by getting her doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. She went on to complete a pediatric dentistry residency at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and then an orthodontic residency at the University of Detroit. Since 1994, Dr. Wolford has been providing excellent orthodontic care for all her patients.
Erie Braces
Braces in Erie are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Since they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Braces don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, meaning Erie braces are a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They’re made of metal or ceramic brackets affixed to the teeth and then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with Dr. Doleski and Dr. Wolford.
Erie Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with patients and orthodontists in Erie and are the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, this system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth.
The trays are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks, as directed by Dr. Doleski or Dr. Wolford.
The clear aligners system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20 – 22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and add time to the orthodontic process.
Clear aligners are most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. However, they may not be a good option for some complex cases. A free consultation with Doleski & Wolford Orthodontics in Erie will allow us to determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
Find the Treatment for You
Dr. Doleski and Dr. Wolford have years of experience providing customized treatment plans for each individual patient. When you visit our Erie office for a free consultation, our talented team will pay special attention to your particular orthodontic needs and your specific tooth shape, lip movement, and face shape.
Using these as the basis for braces or clear aligner treatment results in a beautifully aligned smile that’s just right for you. To learn more about Erie orthodontics, schedule your free consultation with Doleski & Wolford Orthodontics.
