We provide comprehensive treatment options designed around each patient's specific alignment needs and lifestyle.
Braces are one of the most reliable ways to help improve complex alignment and bite issues in patients of all ages.
Learn more →Crowding and spacing are among the most common orthodontic concerns we treat. Crowded teeth overlap and create areas that are difficult to clean, raising the risk of cavities and gum disease. Gaps between teeth can cause bite issues and affect speech. Both conditions respond well to braces or Invisalign depending on the severity.
Learn more →Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Our doctors are Invisalign Pearl Providers with extensive experience treating kids, teens, and adults. With Invisalign, an in-office consultation is scheduled to evaluate the orthodontic problem and discuss treatment options. Aligners should be worn at least 22 hours per day, and appointments are typically spaced every 6 to 8 weeks.
Learn more →Removable appliances address specific orthodontic issues outside of full braces treatment. These can include palate expanders, space maintainers, and habit-breaking appliances for younger patients. Our doctors evaluate each child's development to determine whether a removable appliance can guide jaw growth or create space before permanent teeth come in.
