Braces are used to assist in aligning and straightening teeth in order to not only improve appearance for the best smile, but improve a person’s bite. Having braces isn’t just about creating a smile you love; it’s also about improving your overall dental health. Our office understands that orthodontics may be used to correct malocclusion, overbite, underbites, cross bites, deep bites, crooked teeth and other flaws of the teeth and jaws. Braces may be used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help patients achieve the results they deserve.

Dental technology offers a modern approach and has improved over the years to include new treatment options to help correct the above issues, and there are a number of techniques and products available that were not available just a few short years ago. The patient experience has improved and today’s options are less conspicuous than the full braces that were common in the past. We’re committed to providing customized care in a comfortable environment where anxious children and parents feel welcome.

Traditional metal braces are still the most popular types of braces as they produce high quality results. Clear aligners like Invisalign and clear ceramic braces are popular with adults and teenagers who want the results of braces without the look of metal. Your visit will begin with a consultation with the doctor to go over the best alternatives for your orthodontic care. Our friendly staff will address any questions you may have regarding treatment options and will provide a customized plan for orthodontic therapy. Don’t hesitate to request an appointment—we look forward to providing orthodontic services.

Metal braces made from stainless steel brackets and wires remain the most popular choice for braces and are very effective. Our practice provides this treatment to patients with this proven orthodontic solution.

Virtually invisible, there are several advantages clear brackets have over traditional braces and aligners. Clear braces combine tieless braces with the latest technology archwires that are clinically proven to move teeth fast and comfortably with truly beautiful smiles and facial results. Available from skilled orthodontists, clear braces combine the best of traditional clear braces and invisible aligners to deliver a discrete treatment experience with results that go beyond straight teeth. Our team is in a unique position to offer this advanced field of orthodontics.

Once orthodontic treatment is complete, a retainer is worn for a period of time, usually just at night. The retainer helps maintain the new smile and also allows for small adjustments, if needed, once the braces have been removed.

Your orthodontist will go over the treatment options with you and provide specific instructions on the use of your retainers. We understand that every patient is unique and wanted to create an experience where comfort and quality care meet.
