Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Ideal for complex cases, they provide precise control over tooth movement through periodic adjustments. Patients benefit from durable, cost-effective treatment with proven results for all age groups.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners gradually shift teeth into proper position without metal brackets. These removable, nearly invisible trays suit adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic treatment while maintaining oral hygiene with ease during meals and brushing.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces combine traditional effectiveness with aesthetic appeal using tooth-colored brackets. They offer less visibility than metal braces while maintaining strength for moderate to severe alignment issues, particularly popular among adult patients.
Growth Modification
Early intervention guides facial and jaw growth in children to prevent future complications. This phase-one treatment addresses underbites, crossbites, and spacing issues through appliances that direct bone development for optimal adult tooth eruption.
Breathing Problems
Specialized orthodontic solutions address airway obstructions linked to sleep apnea and breathing disorders. Treatment focuses on expanding dental arches and repositioning jaws to improve airflow, combining functional health benefits with traditional alignment correction.

Questions
What is an orthodontist's specialized training?
Orthodontists complete 2-3 additional years of accredited residency after dental school, focusing exclusively on tooth movement and facial development. Only 7% of dentists achieve this specialist status.
Do I need a referral for orthodontic treatment?
No referral is required. Patients can schedule initial consultations directly with our orthodontist for comprehensive evaluation of dental and facial alignment needs.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically last?
Treatment duration varies: mild cases take 6-12 months, moderate cases 12-24 months, and severe cases over 24 months. Regular 6-8 week appointments ensure optimal progress.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Yes, healthy teeth can be moved at any age. One in five orthodontic patients are adults who achieve improved smiles and oral health through modern treatment options.
What payment options are available?
We accept FSA/HSA accounts and offer flexible payment plans. Our office verifies insurance benefits and files claims for PPO plans, maximizing available orthodontic coverage.
How do I maintain retainer hygiene?
Brush retainers daily with toothpaste, use effervescent cleansers weekly, and store in cases when not in use. Avoid heat exposure and always bring retainers to appointments for adjustments.
