What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is the process of correcting the alignment of your teeth and jaw to improve both function and appearance. Misaligned teeth can contribute to difficulty chewing, speech challenges, uneven wear, and difficulty keeping teeth clean. Straightening your smile is not just about aesthetics; it supports your long-term oral health and overall well-being.

We offer a range of modern orthodontic solutions designed to fit your lifestyle, your schedule, and your smile goals, including retainers after you complete your initial treatment. Whether you prefer a discreet option or a time-tested classic approach, we have a treatment path that works for you.

Our Orthodontic Treatment Options

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic solutions available. Using high-quality brackets and wires, metal braces apply consistent, gentle pressure to guide your teeth into their ideal positions over time. We offer braces for adults and teens, making this an excellent option for patients at nearly any stage of life. Today’s metal braces are more comfortable and lower-profile than ever before, and our team takes the time to make sure every adjustment appointment goes smoothly.

Clear Aligners

For patients who prefer a more discreet approach, clear aligners offer an effective and nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces. Custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, clear aligners are removable, comfortable, and easy to maintain. You can eat what you like, brush and floss normally, and go about your daily routine with confidence.

Invisalign

As a preferred Invisalign provider, we use the industry-leading clear aligner system to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Invisalign trays are crafted from SmartTrack material for a precise, comfortable fit. Using our iTero digital scanner, we can show you a projected preview of your results before treatment even begins. Invisalign is a popular choice among our adult patients who want effective orthodontic treatment without the look of traditional braces.

Invisalign for Teens

We also offer Invisalign for Teens, a version of the Invisalign system designed with the unique needs of younger patients in mind. It includes compliance indicators, replacement aligners for lost or damaged trays, and features that account for still-developing smiles. For teens who want the freedom and confidence that come with clear aligner therapy, Invisalign for Teens is a wonderful option.

Braces for Adults and Teens: It Is Never Too Late

One of the most common misconceptions about orthodontic treatment is that it is only for children. The truth is that teeth can be moved at any age, and we see patients of all ages achieve beautiful, lasting results. Our braces for adults and teens are tailored to fit each individual’s needs, whether that means traditional metal braces or a clear aligner solution.

If you have been thinking about improving your smile for years, there is no better time to take the first step.
