Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. These custom-made appliances offer a discreet orthodontic solution that can be removed for eating and cleaning. Our practice specializes in advanced Invisalign techniques for both teens and adults, with treatment times often shorter than traditional methods.
Braces
We offer comprehensive braces treatment for patients of all ages, including metal and ceramic options. Our modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever while maintaining exceptional effectiveness. Treatment plans are customized to address specific alignment needs while ensuring optimal comfort throughout the process.
Early Treatment
Our early intervention program addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-11. This phase focuses on guiding jaw development and creating space for permanent teeth. Early treatment can prevent more complex issues and reduce future treatment duration through strategic orthopedic guidance.
Adolescent Treatment
Specialized orthodontic care for teens aged 11-18 combines technical expertise with age-appropriate support. We address common concerns like self-consciousness while ensuring optimal treatment outcomes. Our approach considers ongoing facial development to achieve lasting results with minimal intervention.
Adult Treatment
We provide discreet, effective orthodontic solutions for adults seeking to improve their smile. Our treatment plans consider unique adult needs including periodontal health and existing dental work. Options include clear aligners and ceramic braces that offer aesthetic benefits while delivering precise tooth movement.

Dr. West and her entire team are absolutely expert at what they do. I was given amazing customer service, advice and at 50 years old getting my second pair of braces as Invisilign to get rid of my neck and headaches and TMJ issues that had re-surfaced, they are just number one! Highly recommend them!!!

Dr. West and her staff are the friendliest I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We are just moving back to the area from Virginia where my son had braces put on. Dr. West and her staff made him feel welcome and he said the best overall treatment has ever received!
