Services
Braces
Braces use brackets and wires to align teeth and correct bite issues for children, teens, and adults. Our practice offers traditional metal and ceramic options tailored to individual needs. Treatment includes regular adjustments to gradually shift teeth into proper positions, with guidance on oral hygiene and dietary care to ensure successful outcomes.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth without brackets or wires, ideal for teens and adults seeking discreet treatment. Aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, requiring 22+ hours of daily wear. Treatment duration varies but averages 9-15 months, with progress tracked through periodic office visits.
Emergency Orthodontics
We provide 24/7 emergency orthodontic care for issues like loose wires, broken brackets, or appliance damage. Our team offers immediate phone guidance and in-office repairs to alleviate discomfort and maintain treatment progress, ensuring patients receive timely solutions for urgent concerns.
Retainers
Retainers preserve teeth alignment post-treatment, available as fixed or removable options. Custom-fitted using digital impressions, they require daily cleaning and proper storage. We provide care instructions and replacements if lost or damaged, ensuring long-term stability of your corrected smile.
Bite Correction
Bite correction addresses overbites, underbites, and crossbites using appliances like Herbst devices and elastics. Treatment improves oral function, reduces jaw pain, and prevents enamel damage. Personalized plans incorporate advanced imaging to guide teeth and jaw alignment for optimal health and aesthetics.

Questions
Do braces hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort after adjustments, manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Any soreness typically subsides within a few days.
What is the right age for orthodontic treatment?
Children should visit an orthodontist around age 7. Treatment for issues like braces often begins between 9-14, but adults can also benefit at any age.
Can Invisalign fix crooked teeth?
Invisalign effectively treats mild to moderate crookedness. Severe cases exceeding 20-degree rotations may require traditional braces for optimal correction.
How do I care for my retainer?
Clean your retainer daily with a soft brush and mild soap, store it properly when not in use, and avoid exposing it to heat or harsh chemicals.
Are emergency orthodontic services available after hours?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency care for urgent issues like broken wires or damaged appliances, with phone support and immediate in-office repairs as needed.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatments?
Many insurance plans cover a portion of braces or Invisalign. We assist with verifying coverage and offer financing options to make care affordable.
