Orthodontic Services


Patient Info

Braces can be used to assist in aligning and straightening teeth in order to not only improve appearance, but to also improve a person’s bite and overall dental health. Orthodontics may be used to correct malocclusions, overbites, underbites, cross bites, deep bites, crooked teeth and other imperfections of the teeth and jaws and may be used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances.

Dental technology has improved over the years to include new options to help correct the above issues, and there are a number of techniques and products available that were not available just a few short years ago. The patient experience has improved and today’s options are less conspicuous than the full braces that were common in the past.

Your visit will begin with a consultation with the doctor to go over the best alternatives for your orthodontic care. Your doctor will address any questions you may have regarding your treatment and will provide a plan for orthodontic therapy.


Metal Braces



Metal braces made from stainless steel brackets and wires remain the most popular choice for braces and are very effective.


Invisalign®



Invisalign® clear aligners offer a comfortable and affordable orthodontic solution without the look and feel of traditional metal braces. You just switch to a new set of aligners as directed by your doctor until your treatment is complete.

Retainers



Once orthodontic treatment is complete, a retainer is worn for a period of time, usually just at night. The retainer helps maintain the new smile and also allows for small adjustments, if needed, once the braces have been removed.

Your orthodontist will go over the options with you and provide specific instructions on the use of your retainers. We provide replacement retainers for lost or broken retainers.
