Orthodontic Treatments
We customize a treatment plan that prioritizes esthetics and the healthy function of your teeth.
We provide treatment to patients of every age!
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child receive their first orthodontic screening by age 7. By evaluating for treatment early, we are able to recognize potential problems and correct them before they become more serious. Early interceptive orthodontic treatment has proven to be beneficial for the overall desired result. Because a child’s permanent teeth have not finished erupting, we are able to thoroughly evaluate and address any impending problems at the earliest stage. Often treatment is not necessary and we will monitor growth until your child is ready for treatment.
It is time to start thinking about braces and come in for a complimentary consultation once all “baby teeth” are on their way out. This typically occurs around age 10-12. While it is never too late to start orthodontic treatment, the best results can be achieved while the peak growth spurt is occurring. Treatment at this age will consist of braces, appliances, and/or clear aligners depending on the custom treatment options presented to you.
More and more adults today are seeking orthodontic treatment to improve their smile. We provide a full range of treatments specifically designed for adults that will leave you with a dramatically different smile and healthier bite. We offer a variety of clear aligners, braces, and appliances to meet the individual needs and desires of each of our adult patients. We are confident we can help you achieve and maintain the beautiful, healthy smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Types of clear aligners
Invisalign treatment uses a set of custom aligner trays to gently move your teeth where you want them. These trays, made with advanced technology, are switched out about every week. It’s a simple and effective way to get your smile where you want it.
Smilers adopts a modern and personalized method for enhancing your smile. The process involves utilizing a series of custom-made aligners that are nearly invisible and easily removable. These aligners guide your teeth through a gradual transformation until they’re in their final placement.
Similar to Invisalign, in-house aligners operate by applying gentle pressure to your teeth to reposition them over time. The main difference is that instead of waiting for your trays to come in, we’re able to form them within our office, allowing you to start treatment sooner.

Keep your new smile!
Essix Retainers are devices after orthodontic care is completed. They help maintain the results of your braces or clear aligner treatment. These retainers are clear and removable. You wear them regularly after your treatment.
Fixed retainers are cemented directly to the inside surface of your teeth. This is one of the best ways to prevent your lower teeth from shifting as it does not need to be taken in and out! Patients with fixed retainers must be careful with their bite as the bonding material can break due to incorrect biting and cause teeth to shift quickly. As with removable retainers, it is important to keep both your teeth and wires clean.
We stay up-to-date with the newest technology!
The CBCT digital scans not only show the outside of your teeth and bones but also provide a detailed view from within your teeth and every angle. The process is quick, pain-free, and non-invasive.
The Intraoral Scanner is a device resembling a wand or large pen, that captures 3D digital dental impressions, creating a detailed image of our patient’s mouth. These images are available instantly and can be utilized when planning your treatment.
Using the scans we capture, we are able to 3D print a variety of orthodontic appliances and diagnostic tools. This allows us to deliver even more precision to your care.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery, also known as jaw surgery, is a procedure that corrects jaw bone irregularities and realigns the teeth and jaws. It can also improve the balance and harmony of your face. Orthognathic surgery can fix the upper jaw (maxilla) or lower jaw (mandible) when they don’t line up. Orthodontic treatment takes place before, during, and after surgery.
