What We Do
Our orthodontic team treats crooked, gapped, twisted, overlapped, or crowded teeth, as well as overbites and underbites, to improve appearance and function. We use appliances like traditional braces that rely on metal or ceramic brackets and wires to gently move teeth into place over one to three years.
Traditional braces are highly effective but visible. They also require periodic tightening. You’ll want to avoid sticky or hard foods, and cleaning around brackets takes extra care. If you prefer something less noticeable, explore our option for invisible braces.
A more modern alternative is Invisalign: custom clear aligners that are nearly invisible and removable, so you can eat normally and brush and floss as usual. You’ll switch to a new set of trays approximately every two weeks as your teeth shift.
After treatment with braces or Invisalign, your smile stays put with custom retainers.
How It Works
Initial Consultation: At your first visit, we assess dental health, take X-rays, learn your goals, and outline options.
Treatment: We create a personalized plan—whether that’s braces or Invisalign—and review benefits, risks, and financial information.
Regular Care: We schedule checkups to monitor progress and make adjustments; see tips for life with braces.
Completion: We fit retainers and share guidance to maintain your results.
