What a difference straight teeth can make!
A great-looking smile can boost your self-confidence and have a positive impact on social and professional opportunities.
Orthodontic treatment is the original smile makeover tool - and you will be happy to know that you're never too old to take advantage of it.
But it isn't all about looks: Properly aligned teeth help you to bite, chew and even speak more effectively.
They are also easier to clean, which helps keep your mouth free of tooth decay and gum disease.

As children grow and develop, sometimes they show early signs of jaw problems.
The aim of Phase One Treatment is to increase a child's jaw size to make room for the future eruption of permanent teeth and to enhance the relationship of the upper and lower jaws.
If you believe your child's upper or lower jaw is growing too much or not enough, please call our office as orthodontic treatment can correct this problem.
If we correct your child's improperly growing jaws early enough, we can eliminate the need to remove permanent teeth, which usually fixes overcrowding and/or an overbite.

Braces aren't just for kids anymore.
Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy.
We offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups - including adults.
A new smile can begin today!
Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem.
Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important.
Crooked teeth and a bad bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint (TMJ/TMD) pain.

Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material.
They are most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal.
The only drawbacks to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
The Invisalign system is a series of clear overlay templates - called aligners - that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth.
This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems.
