Limited Treatment

Had braces or aligners before, and now your teeth have shifted? You’re not alone. Teeth naturally move over time, especially without consistent retainer wear. The good news is that minor shifting can often be corrected quickly.

At Mischler Orthodontics in Floyds Knobs, limited treatment is designed for small, specific goals rather than a full bite correction. It’s often a great fit for adults and some teens who want a refinement, not a complete re-do.

What Is Limited Treatment?

Limited treatment focuses on minor tooth movement, usually in one area such as the front teeth. It can help with:

• Teeth that have shifted after braces or aligners
• Small gaps, mild crowding, or slight rotations
• One or two specific concerns you’d like improved for looks or function

Treatment Options

Depending on your goals, limited treatment may include:

• Clear aligners: a discreet option for many minor movements
• Braces: metal or clear ceramic, when more precise control is needed
• New or adjusted retainers: when the main issue is retention and fit

What Limited Treatment Is Not

Limited treatment isn’t designed to correct complex bite problems, jaw discrepancies, or extensive tooth movement. If your exam shows you’d benefit from comprehensive care, we’ll explain why and walk you through every option.

What to Expect

At your free consultation, we’ll take 3D images, look at what’s changed, and talk through your goals. Because limited treatment targets a specific concern, it’s typically shorter and simpler than full treatment. When you’re finished, you’ll receive new retainers to keep your smile where it belongs.
