Our Orthodontic Services:
How We Can Help You

We provide quality orthodontic care, with your individual needs at the forefront of treatment.

Braces for All Ages

Braces are an option for patients of all ages and case complexities. No matter your age, it’s never too late to enjoy the smile you’ve always wanted. We offer Damon System™ metal self-ligating braces, which provide increased comfort, efficiency, and precision. Clear traditional braces are also available for patients wanting a more discreet look.

Invisalign®

Invisalign is a clear, nearly unnoticeable orthodontic treatment option that works for both teens and adults. It allows patients to get their dream smile without the hassle of brackets and wires! If you’re interested in discreet orthodontic treatment, Invisalign might be right for you.

Early Orthodontics for Kids

Start your child’s orthodontic journey early to address potential issues before they become major concerns, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children see an orthodontist by age 7 to check for potential issues and encourage healthy development.

Additional Ways We Make You Smile

In addition to our primary orthodontic services, we also provide additional care options, including:

Some patients notice an overly “gummy” smile or tooth appearance. Laser gingivectomy, or laser dentistry, is a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes your gums and exposes more tooth surface.

For an extra shine to your smile after orthodontic treatment, we offer professional-grade teeth whitening. This option adds extra confidence to your day when you laugh, talk, and smile. It’s a great finishing touch to braces or Invisalign.

If you’ve noticed excessive daytime sleepiness or know that you or your child snores heavily at night, you may be seeing signs of obstructive sleep apnea. We offer comprehensive orthodontic treatment to target airway health and improve these symptoms.

We also provide treatment surrounding the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated disorders. If you’re experiencing clicking, discomfort, or pain in your jaw when you talk, chew, or laugh, ask us about TMJ/TMD treatment at your consultation.
