Crooked or crowded teeth aren’t just about how your smile looks – they can affect your health too! When teeth are packed too tightly, it’s harder to clean them properly, which can lead to cavities. Misaligned bites like overbites or underbites can cause jaw pain, headaches, and even make it harder to chew or speak clearly.
But there’s good news! Orthodontic care does more than just straighten teeth. It improves your oral health, enhances your appearance, and gives you a boost of confidence. A straight, healthy smile can make a big difference – whether you’re meeting new friends or nailing a job interview.
Our orthodontic treatments can help with a variety of issues, including:
Better Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, lowering the risk of tooth decay.
Balanced Facial Features
Proper jaw alignment can improve the way your face looks and feels.
Confidence Boost

Invisalign offers a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth using custom-made, clear aligners. Benefits include:
By switching aligners every few weeks, your teeth will gradually shift into place for a beautifully aligned smile.
Clear ceramic braces are similar to traditional wire braces but are made of clear materials instead. This makes them much less visible. We recommend these mostly for older teens and adults who appreciate their discreet advantage.
Ceramic braces require more attention to oral hygiene because they are larger and more brittle than metal braces. We use them more frequently on upper front teeth, where your smile is most noticeable.
Invisalign’s clear aligners fit over your top and bottom teeth and hardly show at all. Our adult and older teen patients love Invisalign for this reason. Invisalign aligners can be removed for regular brushing, flossing, and cleaning. You can also remove them when you eat, which means you don’t have to give up foods that you would with wire braces. You can even take off your aligners during special occasions.
Aside from being removable, Invisalign has comfortable acrylic aligners that don’t irritate your mouth like the brackets from wire braces can.
Invisalign is a perfect option for busy people because it typically requires fewer office visits and also less treatment time.
Invisalign isn’t for everyone, but it’s usually ideal for adults. Let us know if you’re interested in Invisalign clear braces to straighten your teeth quickly and comfortably.
Used to control thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, these appliances are attached to the teeth by bands.
A device used to widen the arch of the upper jaw. It is an appliance placed in the roof of the mouth.
This are designed to keep the lips away from the teeth. The lip muscles can exert pressure on the teeth, and this bumper helps relieve that pressure.
Also called Herbts, this device is worn on the top or lower jaw, and help train the jaw to close in a more favorable position. They may be used for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
With this device, a strap is placed around the back of the head and attached to a metal wire in front, or face bow. Headgear slows the growth of the upper jaw, and holds the back teeth where they are while the front teeth are pulled back.
Worn on the upper and lower arch, a retainer is used to retain the teeth in a finished position after orthodontic treatment and prevent shifting.
