Orthodontics

The American Dental Association recommends that every child receive an orthodontic evaluation by age seven, checking for crowded teeth, extra teeth, missing teeth or jaws that are out of alignment.

Invisalign®

Invisalign can be used to treat the majority of common orthodontics problems. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can help. This treatment has been successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth. It can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, underbites and even crossbites. An Invisalign certified orthodontist or dentist can use Invisalign clear aligners in just about any treatment plan. 

Made to fit your lifestyle, not change it
Because Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to position and straighten teeth, you can keep your active lifestyle during treatment. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners do not have metal bands or wires to irritate your mouth. Now you can be as active as you want! Since Invisalign is removable, you can easily take the clear aligners out for special events. Because Invisalign braces are removeable, you can still enjoy sticky, gooey snacks.

Look your best during and after treatment
You want to look great at work, school and events. Because Invisalign is clear and nearly invisible, most people will never know that you're wearing them. When your course of treatment has ended, you can feel more confident with your stunning new smile!

Braces

Achieving a healthy beautiful smile is why most people receive orthodontic care.  If you are self conscience about your smile, braces can be a great way to improve the way you look and feel.

How does it work?
Today braces are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. Some may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. Braces use a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction to move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. The latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

How long does it take?
Length of treatment will vary but can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. The more involved and diligent you are in the process, the more efficient your treatment will be.

Before beginning your orthodontic care, your doctor will discuss all of your options, and provide an estimate for how long your full treatment may take.
