Just a few of our
Services Offered
Early Treatment
Starting orthodontic care at an early age can guide jaw growth, correct harmful habits, and prevent more serious issues down the line.
Early treatment helps create space for permanent teeth and sets the stage for a healthy smile.
Adult Treatment
It’s never too late to improve your smile.
We offer discreet, effective options like clear aligners, ceramic braces, and lingual systems designed to fit seamlessly into adult lifestyles and schedules.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into the right position.

They’re highly effective for treating a wide range of bite issues and remain one of the most reliable orthodontic options.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-fit aligners to straighten teeth without brackets or wires.
It's a comfortable and nearly invisible option that fits easily into everyday life

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of our most frequently asked questions. For any additional inquires please reach out to our amazing staff!
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Most people with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues are good candidates for Invisalign. The best way to know for sure is through a consultation with our orthodontist, who will evaluate your smile and goals to determine if Invisalign is the right fit for you.
Is Invisalign with a dentist the same as with an orthodontist?
Not exactly. Dentists can provide Invisalign, but orthodontists are specialists in straightening teeth and correcting bite problems. Choosing an orthodontist means your treatment plan is designed and monitored by a doctor who has years of advanced training in tooth movement and facial alignment.
Are braces quicker than Invisalign?
It depends on your case. In some situations, braces can move teeth more efficiently, while Invisalign may be faster for simpler alignments. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the option that gets you the best results in the shortest time possible.
Do you have payment plans?
Yes! We believe everyone deserves a confident smile. That’s why we offer flexible, interest-free payment plans tailored to your budget. Our team will work with you to make treatment affordable and stress-free.
Can I whiten during treatment?
Yes, but with some limits. With Invisalign, you can whiten between aligner trays. With braces, we usually recommend waiting until treatment is complete to ensure the whitening looks even across all teeth.
Do I need a referral from a dentist?
No referral is needed! You can book a consultation directly with us. We work with dentists all the time, but you don’t need their permission to start your smile journey.
Am I too old to get treatment?
Not at all. Orthodontic treatment works at any age as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. Many of our patients are adults who finally decided it’s their time to love their smile.
Should I have braces after all my dental work is done?
It depends on the type of dental work. Sometimes, orthodontics should be done before certain procedures (like crowns, implants, or veneers) to make sure your teeth are in the right place first. We’ll coordinate with your dentist to create the right sequence for your care.
