Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developmental issues in children aged 7-10. Our approach prevents extractions, surgery, and dental injuries through expanders, habit appliances, and growth modification. Treatment guides jaw development and creates space for permanent teeth, reducing future complications while building confidence during critical formative years.
Teen Treatment
Customized orthodontic solutions for teenagers focus on correcting bite issues and alignment during peak growth periods. Options include traditional metal braces, cosmetic brackets, and Invisalign. Treatment typically occurs after baby teeth loss, utilizing modern techniques that eliminate headgear and reduce extraction needs while accommodating teens' aesthetic preferences and active lifestyles.
Adult Treatment
Comprehensive treatment options address alignment and bite issues for patients seeking improved oral health and aesthetics. Services include discreet ceramic braces, clear aligners, and bite correction systems. Treatment plans consider adult-specific factors like existing dental work and TMJ concerns, with durations ranging from 6 months to 3 years based on individual complexity.
Cosmetic Braces
3M Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets provide a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. These tooth-colored brackets blend with natural teeth while maintaining effectiveness. Ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients, treatment combines aesthetic appeal with proven orthodontic results, typically lasting 6 months to 3 years depending on case complexity.
Invisalign
Customized, removable aligner therapy straightens teeth without traditional brackets. Precision-mapped treatment plans use smart attachments and advanced materials for effective movement. Ideal for active lifestyles, Invisalign requires 20-22 hours daily wear and offers comparable treatment times to braces, with options for touch-ups and refinements.

Questions
What orthodontic options are available for adults?

Do you accept dental insurance?
We accept Delta Dental and most major insurance providers. Our team helps maximize benefits and navigate coverage details for orthodontic treatment while offering flexible payment options.
What payment plans are available?
Flexible financing options start at $159/month with family discounts and paid-in-full incentives. We work with patients to create affordable solutions while maintaining high-quality care standards.
How does early orthodontic treatment benefit children?
Early intervention (ages 7-10) prevents extractions, surgery, and dental injuries through guided jaw development. Treatment addresses spacing, bite issues, and growth patterns to create optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption.
What technology do you use for diagnostics?
We utilize i-CAT FLX 3D imaging for comprehensive diagnostics with reduced radiation exposure. iTero scanners eliminate traditional impressions, providing accurate digital models for treatment planning and appliance fabrication.
How often are orthodontic appointments scheduled?
Adjustment appointments typically occur every 6-8 weeks for braces patients. Invisalign patients require less frequent visits, with check-ups every 8-12 weeks to monitor progress and provide new aligner sets.
