What we offer
Services built around your smile.
From traditional braces to clear aligners and appliances, we offer the full range of orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages.
Treatment
Braces
Braces use constant, gentle pressure applied to your teeth over time to move them into proper position. Available in a variety of styles (metal, ceramic, and lingual) that all share one goal: correct alignment for better oral health and a confident smile.
Metal Braces
Smaller and more comfortable than ever. Brackets bond to each tooth; an arch wire applies gentle, continuous pressure. Popular with children and teens.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Tooth-colored ceramic brackets and wires for a nearly invisible look. The same precision as metal braces, preferred by adults who want a discreet option.
Lingual Braces
Placed on the inside surface of your teeth so they're completely hidden. Anyone who is a candidate for traditional braces is typically a candidate for lingual braces.
In-Ovation® System
Self-ligating braces with no elastics or ties. Free-sliding technology reduces pressure, friction, and treatment time. A more comfortable experience throughout.
Treatment
Invisalign®
Clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible. No food restrictions, no sharp wires, and easy to clean. Invisalign fits your lifestyle without compromising results.
Treatment begins with a consultation and 3D imaging of your teeth. We map out the exact movements, then create a custom series of BPA-free clear aligners. You wear each set for about two weeks, coming in every six weeks for a progress check. Most adults complete treatment in approximately one year.
Is it as effective as braces?
Yes, Invisalign corrects gapped, crowded, and misaligned teeth just as effectively as traditional braces.
How long do I wear them?
20 to 22 hours per day for best results. Remove only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth.
What about sports or special events?
Simply remove your aligners. For contact sports, replace with a mouth guard while you play.
Are we Invisalign providers?
Yes, we are specially trained Invisalign providers who develop individualized treatment plans.
Treatment
Retainers
After active orthodontic treatment, a retainer holds your teeth in their new positions while the jawbone, gums, and muscles adapt. Without consistent wear, teeth may gradually shift back.
Retainer treatment time varies by patient; some may require permanent retention. We discuss this as part of your overall treatment plan.
When to wear it
At all times, including while sleeping. Remove only for eating, swimming, and vigorous sports.
Cleaning
Brush daily with toothpaste. Denture cleaner for a deeper clean. Never boil. Bring it to us for sterilization.
Keeping it safe
Always store in its case during meals. Never wrap in a napkin or keep in a pocket.
Lost or broken
Contact our office right away. An additional charge applies for replacements.
Treatment
Removable Appliances
Appliances are used during various stages of orthodontic treatment to retain tooth position or influence jaw growth for better bite alignment.
Herbst® Appliance
A fixed appliance used to correct overbites, typically for younger patients.
Palatal Expander
Widens your upper jaw by applying outward pressure on the upper molars to slowly expand the palate.
Spacers
Plastic rings inserted between back teeth before braces to create space for proper placement.
Elastics
Rubber bands used with fixed braces to exert continuous force. Worn at all times and changed daily.
Headgear
Used for severe overbites or underbites to restrict and redirect jaw growth.
Positioners
Designed to complete the last tooth movements after braces are removed.
