Orthodontic treatment is different based on how your teeth are developing.
Different approaches are taken based on whether your teeth are still coming in, or if they've fully developed.
We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups - including adults!
It's never too late to begin your journey to having that healthy smile.

A habit appliance helps stop certain repeated body motions (habits).
Some correctors help stop tongue thrusting (pressing the tongue against the front teeth) while others correct finger and thumb sucking.
These habits can adversely affect the bite and change the position of your teeth and growing jaws.
The Herbst appliance reduces overbite by encouraging the lower jaw forward and the upper molars backward.
This fixed appliance is used mostly for younger, growing children and is worn for about 12-15 months.

Braces are a big deal.
Getting used to how they look and feel takes time.
Figuring out how to brush and floss takes effort.
Our team will make sure you have the right information and tools to help you keep your teeth clean and healthy, and to handle any problems you might encounter while wearing braces.

When you are wearing braces, you may encounter small discomfort, broken appliances or - rarely - more serious problems.
There are strategies you can use at home to address some of the more common problems.
If you do have an orthodontic emergency (extreme pain, swelling, bleeding, or an accident), call our office.
If you experience a direct injury to the mouth or teeth, ice the area immediately and call your regular dentist.
After seeing your dentist, we will need to replace any broken or displaced appliances as soon as possible (depending upon your comfort level).
