Orthodontic

Traditional Braces

Yes! We do braces for Children AND Adults in this office! Because we are a general dental office, we know our patients' needs and our patients feel comfortable with our staff. We will only refer you to a specialty office in extremely difficult cases. We have close relationships with nearby orthodontists that will be able to provide you with the care you need!

As a general dental office, we are better able to keep a close eye on out patients overall dental care and needs at the same time as treating their orthodontic/braces needs. this saves or patients time and money--by catching the little things when they are still small. Smaller the fixes, less it cost to have done!

We are also ale to do the final touch ups right when the braces are removed... such as a bit of bonding or whitening (see pictures below). This "icing on the cake" technique allows our final products to show that we care and want our smiles to be the best around!!!

Traditional braces have been around for many years. They are the standard among patients looking to straighten their smile. Today's contemporary braces are made of exceptionally strong metals as they need to be able to stand the test of time while they are on your teeth. While contemporary braces are metallic colored, we are using more frequently the clear or invisible brackets. They give more control than when using clear aligners and better control over tooth movement.

Give us a call today so we can discuss in more detail about getting you that perfect smile! Here is one example (below) of just 9 months of treatment in OUR office...

Clear Braces

Whether you're an adult or a teen, we all want to look our best at all times. Changing the way your teeth are structured takes time and there are now ways to keep you looking your best during this period. Clear braces or ceramic braces are translucent. This new technology is available for most cases. The great benefit of these braces is that you won't have to have that metallic look. In addition, clear braces are specifically designed so that they won't stain or wear over time.

Give us a call today to see if you're a candidate for ceramic braces!

Invisalign

Invisalign is a system of straightening teeth without the use of conventional braces. A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Moving teeth with removable aligners is not new. However, the computer program, which can generate a series of aligners with small changes is the newer part. Invisalign is recommended for orthodontic situations with very minor spacing or crowding. They are virtually undetectable, easy to use and comfortable to wear. Sometimes they require bonding of bumps of filling material to the actual tooth surface to help tooth movement. These bumps are later ground off.
