Braces
Braces gently and effectively move teeth into proper alignment, correcting crowding, gaps, and bite issues. Treatment is customized to your specific needs, with regular adjustments to keep progress on track. A straighter smile can improve both function and confidence.
Damon Braces
Damon braces use a self-ligating system that reduces friction and pressure, often resulting in a more comfortable orthodontic experience with fewer adjustment visits. This system can also mean shorter overall treatment time for many patients. Our team will determine if Damon braces are the right fit for your smile goals.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, correcting bite issues and crowding. They remain one of the most effective and reliable options for complex orthodontic cases. Our trusted orthodontic team customizes your treatment plan to achieve lasting results.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners straighten teeth using a series of custom, virtually invisible trays that are removable for eating and brushing. This makes them a convenient option for patients who want effective orthodontic treatment without the look of traditional braces. Consistent wear is key to staying on schedule with your treatment.
Alignment Correction
For one or two teeth slightly out of alignment or small spaces — a custom retainer corrects minor issues over just a few months, no brackets or wires needed.
Retainers
Retainers: After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers are crucial for maintaining your newly straightened smile and preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions. We offer both fixed and removable retainers, customized to fit your unique bite and lifestyle for long-term stability. Consistent wear of your retainer is essential to preserve the investment you’ve made in your beautiful, healthy smile.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia Crowns offer a strong, durable, and natural-looking option for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. The material resists chipping and wear while blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Many patients choose zirconia for its combination of strength and aesthetics.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth often need to be removed when they’re impacted, crowded, or causing pain and infection risk. Our team evaluates your wisdom teeth with imaging to determine the safest, most comfortable extraction approach. Early removal can prevent more serious complications down the road.

What do braces treat?
Metal braces are one of the most versatile orthodontic tools available, capable of treating a broad range of dental and jaw alignment issues. Traditional metal braces can address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including::
Spacing Issues
Gaps between teeth are closed for a uniform, even smile.
Overbites
Upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth.
Underbites
The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw.
Crossbites
Some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting.
Open Bites
Upper and lower front teeth don’t make contact when biting down.
Traditional metal braces are a time-tested orthodontic treatment that uses a system of brackets, wires, and elastic bands to gradually move teeth into their ideal position. The brackets are securely bonded to the front surface of each tooth and connected by an archwire, which applies gentle pressure to guide tooth movement over time.
While newer orthodontic options like clear aligners have become popular, metal braces remain the preferred choice for patients with complex orthodontic needs. They are highly effective at correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, making them a great option for both children and adults seeking long-term results.
What to expect during treatment.
From your first consultation to your final retainer — here’s the path most patients follow.
01
Consultation and Treatment Plan
Metal braces are one of the most versatile orthodontic tools available, capable of treating a broad range of dental and jaw alignment issues. Traditional metal braces can address a variety of orthodontic concerns.
02
Placement of Braces
At your next visit, your orthodontist will attach the brackets to your teeth using a special adhesive and connect them with an archwire. The process is painless, though you may feel some slight pressure as your teeth begin to adjust.
03
Regular Adjustments
Throughout treatment, you’ll visit your orthodontist every few weeks for adjustments. During these visits, the archwire may be tightened, and you can choose new elastic band colors if desired. These appointments are essential to keep your treatment on track.
04
Oral Hygiene and Care
Proper care is crucial while wearing braces. We’ll provide tips on how to brush and floss effectively to prevent plaque buildup and keep your gums healthy. Avoiding hard or sticky foods can also help prevent damage to your braces.
05
Completing Treatment & Retainer
Once your teeth have shifted into their final positions, your braces will be removed, and you’ll receive a retainer to maintain your results. Wearing your retainer as instructed will ensure your beautiful new smile lasts for years to come.
