Orthodontic treatment used to be the norm around the teenage years, but today, the American Association of Orthodontics recommends that kids seek orthodontic treatment as early as age seven. Research has shown that the earlier parents are aware of how their child’s mouth is growing, the less likelihood of having serious bite problems in the future.

What are the different types of orthodontic treatments?
Clear or metal braces
We offer the traditional metal braces and also have the option of clear, ceramic braces – so you can see those pearly whites better.
Invisalign
Straighten your teeth without anyone knowing! This technology uses 3-D computer imaging (Itero® scanner) to make a series of custom-made clear “aligners” are produced. Each “aligner” moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then is replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.
Oral Appliances
We can provide treatment using fixed and removable appliances including Rapid Palatal Expanders. We make retainers, habit appliances, nightguards, and mouthguards for sports to protect your child’s teeth from injury.
