Why Vernon & Coventry Patients Choose Drs. Hadden & Whidden for Orthodontics
The Life-Changing Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Improved Oral Health
Brushing and flossing become more effective when your teeth are properly aligned. This helps prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar and reduces your risk of future dental issues.
A Boost in Confidence
Straightening your teeth can have a powerful impact on self-esteem. Are you preparing for a big life moment? Just want to smile without hesitation? Orthodontics can help you feel proud of your appearance.
Enhanced Function & Comfort
Braces can improve your bite alignment, relieving strain on the jaw and reducing discomfort or TMJ-related symptoms. Patients often report improved speech and chewing ability after treatment.
Protection Against Future Damage
Orthodontic treatment helps distribute bite forces evenly, reducing uneven wear on teeth and minimizing the risk of chips, cracks, or dental trauma later on.

"Very friendly staff. Dr. Wiegard was very thorough and clear when explaining the problems I
have with my teeth. Because of the good quality of the monitor I could see the x-ray more clearly and am more comfortable continuing treatment. Thank you all."— Richard, 5-Star Review

Straighten Teeth With Braces at Our Vernon & Coventry Offices
Traditional Braces
We offer traditional metal braces as our primary orthodontic solution. This trusted method remains one of the most effective ways to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Modern braces are more streamlined and comfortable than ever, and they’re suitable for patients of nearly any age. Your treatment will be overseen by a doctor who prioritizes precision, comfort, and long-term success.
What to Expect During Braces Treatment
Your orthodontic journey with Dr. Alison Hadden and Dr. Eric Whidden begins with a complimentary consultation, where we evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health. We’ll take X-rays, photographs, or impressions if needed to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Once your braces are placed, you’ll return to our Vernon or Coventry office every few weeks for quick adjustment appointments. Our team checks your progress, makes minor tweaks, and ensures your treatment is on track.
After your braces come off, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your results for life.
