Fixing the Look and Function of Your Teeth

The goal of orthodontic treatment is the same for children, teenagers or adults: to straighten teeth so they look better and work better.

We reach this goal using braces or clear aligners that put gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into the correct position over a period of months or years.

As pressure is applied and the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions of the teeth.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces, made of either metal or ceramic, have been used for decades to straighten teeth. In recent years, advances in orthodontic treatment have resulted in braces that are low-profile, more comfortable and easier to care for.

How Braces Straighten Teeth

Braces apply continuous pressure to the teeth over a period of time, slowly moving them into their new, corrected positions.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

With Invisalign clear aligners, your smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that are adjusted over a period of time.

Invisalign clear aligners offer a convenience factor – they are removable for when you'd prefer no one know that you are straightening your teeth.
