Orthodontics
Crooked teeth aren't just a cosmetic concern — they're harder to clean, more prone to decay, and can cause jaw pain and uneven wear. Our orthodontic treatments straighten your teeth, correct your bite, and set you up for better oral health long-term.
Orthodontics is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your oral health. Straight teeth aren't just attractive — they function better, last longer, and are far easier to keep clean.
Which Option Is Right for You?
There's no single "best" orthodontic treatment — the right choice depends on the complexity of your case, your lifestyle, and your preferences.
- Metal braces handle the widest range of cases, including severe crowding and complex bite issues.
- Ceramic braces offer the same power with a more discreet appearance.
- Clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate cases where aesthetics and convenience are priorities.
What to Expect
- Consultation: X-rays, photos, and impressions to map your current alignment.
- Treatment plan: We show you projected results and timeline before you decide.
- Active treatment: Regular adjustment visits (braces) or new aligner sets every 1-2 weeks.
- Retention: After treatment, retainers maintain your results long-term.
Orthodontics for Adults
If you missed out on braces as a teenager, it's not too late. Adult orthodontics is more common than ever, and today's options are designed to fit professional and social lifestyles. Many of our adult patients use clear aligners that are virtually invisible at work and in photos.
Curious about your options? Book a consultation — we'll assess your alignment and recommend the most effective, efficient path to a straighter smile.
What We Offer
Detailed look at our procedures and treatments.
Traditional Metal Braces
The most reliable method for complex alignment cases. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than older versions, and they work for virtually any orthodontic problem.
Ceramic (Clear) Braces
Same mechanics as metal braces but with tooth-colored brackets that blend in. Popular with adults and image-conscious teens who need traditional braces' effectiveness with less visibility.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made removable trays that gradually shift your teeth. You switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks. They're nearly invisible, and you can eat and brush normally by removing them.
Orthodontic Retainers
After active treatment, retainers keep your teeth in their new position. We offer both fixed (bonded behind teeth) and removable options with clear wear instructions.
Early Intervention (Phase 1)
For children ages 7-10, early assessment can identify developing bite problems. Phase 1 treatment guides jaw growth and can make later orthodontics shorter and simpler.
Adult Orthodontics
It's never too late to straighten your teeth. We offer discreet options specifically suited to adult lifestyles — clear aligners and ceramic braces are the most popular choices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our orthodontics services.
The first orthodontic evaluation should happen around age 7, but treatment can be successful at any age. We see just as many adult patients as children — there's no upper age limit for a healthier smile.
Typically 12-36 months for braces and 6-24 months for clear aligners, depending on the complexity. We'll give you a personalized estimate at your consultation based on your specific case.
You'll feel some pressure and soreness for a few days after braces are placed or adjusted — this is normal and means they're working. Over-the-counter pain relief handles it easily. Most patients say it's far less painful than they expected.
Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled brush, use floss threaders or interdental brushes to get between brackets, and keep up with professional cleanings. We'll show you the exact technique at your fitting appointment.
Absolutely. About 30% of our orthodontic patients are adults. Clear aligners and ceramic braces make it possible to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing you're in treatment.
