Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening through custom-made clear aligners. These removable appliances provide a comfortable alternative to traditional braces while effectively correcting misalignment. Ideal for both teens and adults seeking subtle orthodontic treatment.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use advanced technology for efficient teeth alignment. Smaller brackets and improved materials enhance comfort while maintaining durability. Effective for correcting complex dental issues like overcrowding and bite irregularities.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces combine traditional bracket technology with tooth-colored materials for reduced visibility. These braces offer effective treatment while maintaining aesthetic appeal, particularly suitable for adults and image-conscious teens.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery addresses severe misalignment and functional issues. Combining orthodontics with surgical procedures improves chewing, speaking, and facial appearance while resolving chronic jaw pain and sleep disorders.
Sleep Apnea
Custom oral appliances treat obstructive sleep apnea by maintaining airway patency during sleep. This non-invasive solution improves sleep quality and reduces daytime fatigue through personalized mouth positioning devices.

Questions
What age should children first visit an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends screening at age seven when initial permanent teeth erupt. Early evaluation helps identify potential jaw or alignment issues.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Approximately 25% of patients are adults. Modern options like Invisalign and ceramic braces offer discreet solutions for correcting crooked teeth or bite problems at any age.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically last?
Treatment duration varies by complexity. On average, braces require 18-22 months while Invisalign may range from six to 18 months depending on individual dental needs.
Are financing options available?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans and work with insurance providers. Our team creates customized financial arrangements to make orthodontic care accessible for all families.
What happens during the initial consultation?
Your free consultation includes digital scans, X-rays, and a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Glass will discuss treatment options, timelines, and pricing during this initial visit.
Do retainers need continuous wear after treatment?
Proper retainer use maintains treatment results. Dr. Glass recommends wearing removable retainers nightly indefinitely to preserve optimal alignment and prevent shifting.
