Services
Braces for Kids
Early orthodontic intervention for children addresses developmental issues like overcrowding, bite problems, and jaw alignment. Customized treatment plans ensure optimal dental health and prevent severe complications later. Our approach combines gentle techniques with durable, American-made braces to create lasting smiles while minimizing discomfort and treatment duration.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-molded, removable aligners. This treatment effectively corrects mild to moderate misalignment while allowing patients to maintain oral hygiene and dietary habits. Appel Orthodontics ensures precise fit and progression monitoring for optimal results in both teens and adults.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic care for adults addresses alignment issues, bite correction, and aesthetic improvements. Treatment options include metal, ceramic, and clear aligners tailored to professional lifestyles. Appel Orthodontics prioritizes comfort, efficiency, and affordability, with financing plans and retainer insurance to support long-term dental health and confidence.
Retainer Insurance
Our 7-year retainer insurance program ensures replacement retainers at no additional cost for seven years post-treatment. This service guarantees continued alignment stability and addresses accidental loss or damage. Appel Orthodontics emphasizes retention as a critical phase in maintaining treatment outcomes and preventing relapse.
Teeth Whitening
Zoom! In-Office Whitening enhances smiles post-orthodontic treatment with professional-grade bleaching. This one-hour procedure safely lightens teeth by several shades, complementing braces or aligner results. Appel Orthodontics integrates whitening into treatment plans for a comprehensive aesthetic transformation, ensuring even coloration and lasting brightness.
