Why Families and Adults Choose Us
There is no reason every patient should receive the same orthodontic solution.
We take time to understand what you want to change, how your teeth and bite fit together, and which treatment method makes sense for your day-to-day life.
Digital technology, including iTero scanning, helps us create detailed models without relying solely on traditional impressions. Just as importantly, we explain what we are seeing so you understand the reasoning behind your plan.

Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces remain a dependable option for correcting many types of crowding, spacing, rotations, and bite concerns.
Because braces stay attached to the teeth throughout treatment, they allow us to guide tooth movement without relying on patients to remember to put an appliance back in.
Clear and Ceramic Braces
Clear or ceramic braces work similarly to metal braces but use less noticeable brackets. They may appeal to teens and adults who want fixed orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a sequence of clear, removable aligners designed from a digital treatment plan.
For appropriate patients, clear aligners can correct many alignment and bite concerns while allowing you to remove the trays for meals, brushing, and flossing.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Our early orthodontic evaluations help us look at jaw development, tooth eruption, crowding, spacing, and developing bite concerns while a child is still growing.
An early evaluation does not automatically mean treatment needs to begin. Sometimes the best recommendation is simply to monitor development until the timing is right.
Teen Orthodontics
Teenage patients often begin comprehensive treatment once most permanent teeth have erupted.
Our teen orthodontic care can include braces or clear aligners depending on the bite, treatment goals, and the level of responsibility needed for removable appliances.
Adult Orthodontics
It is never too late to ask whether your bite or alignment can be improved.
Our adult orthodontic treatment can address crowding, spacing, shifting after previous orthodontics, bite concerns, and alignment around existing dental work.
Retainers
Active treatment is only part of keeping teeth aligned.
Orthodontic retainers help hold teeth in their corrected positions after braces or Invisalign. We provide both removable and bonded retention options when appropriate.
