A beautiful smile increases self esteem, confidence, and overall appearance.
Orthodontically corrected teeth lead to better lifelong oral health. They are easier to clean and less prone to chipping and decay while also reducing the chance of gingivitis and gum disease.
There are no one-size-fits-all solutions for beautifully straight smiles. Depending on your needs and goals, we may recommend one of the following:
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to move your teeth into the correct position. Adjustments are made every 6 to 8 weeks with a treatment period lasting, on average, for 15 to 24 months. Because of their appearance, traditional braces aren’t always the first choice among adults. They are ideal for patients who want a more affordable option and don’t mind how they look on their teeth. Kids may also enjoy “customizing” their braces with optional colored elastic bands.

The clear aligners from Invisalign® help you achieve a straight smile without needing metal braces. Invisalign® implements a transparent material specially patented to make treatment as subtle as possible.
Invisalign® aligners are removable, so you can eat and drink freely! No more avoiding favorite foods such as gum, popcorn and potato chips — simply remove the aligners and replace them when finished.
With Invisalign®, you can perform activities that may be difficult or even impossible with traditional braces. You can play sports, give speeches, be in photos and more without fear of pain or unsightliness. With traditional brackets, you might find the first week or so after an adjustment is quite uncomfortable, limiting your interest in activities.
Each Invisalign® aligner is tailor-made to fit precisely over your teeth, applying gentle pressure to move them into place. No wires or brackets mean no bleeding or severe discomfort.
Metal wires and brackets can make important oral health habits complicated. Removable Invisalign aligners give you the freedom to brush, floss and rinse whenever you please.
