Services
Braces
Braces at Otto Orthodontics correct misaligned teeth and jaw issues through customized treatment plans. We offer traditional metal braces and modern aesthetic options for children, teens, and adults. Our team ensures comfort and effectiveness while helping patients achieve lasting, functional smiles.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. As a Diamond Plus Invisalign provider, we cater to patients of all ages with precision planning and regular progress monitoring. This option suits those seeking a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses complex orthodontic issues in children through strategic intervention. The first phase focuses on jaw development, while the second aligns permanent teeth. This approach ensures optimal results and reduces future treatment complexity for growing patients.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services enhance smiles through safe, effective bleaching solutions. We offer take-home whitening kits with custom trays and whitening pens for touch-ups. These treatments remove stains caused by food, drinks, and daily wear to restore natural tooth brightness.
Botox
Botox treatments at Otto Orthodontics address facial tension and enhance smile aesthetics. Administered by trained professionals, these injections complement orthodontic care by reducing muscle strain associated with TMJ disorders and improving facial symmetry for a more balanced appearance.
