What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing and treating dental and facial irregularities. It involves correcting misaligned teeth and improper bite patterns to improve both oral health and aesthetics. We offer orthodontic care for patients of all ages. Whether you or your teen needs braces, Invisalign® aligners or other orthodontic solutions, we are here to help you achieve a healthier, straighter smile.
How Orthodontic Treatments Work
Orthodontic treatments use gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth into their correct positions over time. During your initial consultation, we will assess your alignment and develop a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs. Treatment options can include traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, or Invisalign aligners: a series of clear, removable aligners. Regular follow-up appointments will ensure that your treatment stays on track and progresses as expected.
Depending on the complexity of your case, treatment times can vary, with most plans lasting between 12 and 36 months. Our team will provide all the necessary guidance and support to make the process smooth and effective for you and your family.

Benefits of Orthodontic Care
There are many reasons to pursue orthodontic care for you or your child:
- Improves oral health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhances appearance: Orthodontic treatment improves smile aesthetics and boosts confidence.
- Corrects bite issues: Treatments align the bite, reducing strain on the jaw and preventing issues like teeth grinding.
- Prevents future problems: Early treatment can prevent more serious alignment issues later in life.
