Braces for All Ages
Charles M. Taylor, III, D.D.S offers customized braces for patients of all ages, addressing alignment issues and enhancing oral health. Our treatments cater to children, teenagers, and adults seeking improved dental aesthetics and function. With advanced techniques, we ensure comfortable, effective care tailored to individual needs.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners provide a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional brackets. Ideal for adults and teens, these custom-fitted trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Our team ensures precise planning for optimal results and patient convenience.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer a less visible alternative to metal braces, blending with natural tooth color. They function similarly to traditional braces but provide aesthetic benefits. We recommend them for patients prioritizing appearance while achieving significant dental corrections.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain a durable, cost-effective option for correcting complex alignment issues. Modern designs are smaller and more comfortable, ensuring efficient treatment for patients requiring robust orthodontic solutions. Regular adjustments maintain progress toward desired outcomes.
Retention Treatment
Retention treatment stabilizes teeth after braces, preventing relapse. Options include Hawley retainers, fixed retainers, and Essix retainers, each designed for comfort and effectiveness. We guide patients in selecting the best solution for long-term alignment maintenance.

How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
