HOW ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT WORKS
Let’s say you have some crooked teeth, and you’ve heard of these things called braces. What are braces? We apply a device termed dental braces and wires with an adhesive to your teeth which repositions them into a more favorable position. This creates an aesthetic smile by having teeth properly aligned.
Your teeth will fit and function better in the posterior of your mouth better too. Teeth that function and fit together well will survive together well. Common issues like the ability to keep your teeth clean, or their ability to withstand wear from chewing & possibly grinding, etc. can be improved by having your teeth properly aligned.
Yes, everyone wants a beautiful smile, but an often overlooked by-product of braces is the positive impact it has on the health of your teeth. What we try to ensure with the result we provide, are teeth which not only look great but also are board quality that we would want for ourselves or our family members.
DURATION OF TREATMENT
Typically, the actual process of sitting in the chair and having the braces put on your teeth is completed in 35 minutes. Afterwards, we will spend quite a bit of time with you explaining how to care for them, how to clean them.
So, the appointment that we schedule for you is longer than 45 minutes, but part of that is coaching you and explaining what is happening during the process. And although we are not in a hurry, the actual visit is shorter than you anticipate.

Our Services
We are trained to handle any orthodontic case that comes our way. Some of our services include, but are not limited to the items listed below.
INVISALIGN®
For adult and teens searching for a way to straighten their smile without noticeable, bulky materials, we offer Invisalign. This revolutionary alternative to braces straightens teeth using a series of clear, plastic aligners that are comfortable and removable. No one will know you are wearing braces unless you tell them!
CLEAR CERAMIC BRACES
Clear ceramic braces are made of translucent material. They are comfortable and very durable. If you are looking for traditional braces without the “metal-mouth” appearance, you may want to consider clear ceramic braces.
SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS
Surgical orthodontics repositions the jaw correcting jaw irregularities to improve the patient´s ability to chew, speak, and breathe and for improved facial appearances. Moving the jaws also moves the teeth, so braces or Invisalign® are always performed in conjunction with jaw correction. This helps make sure teeth are in their proper positions after surgery.
