Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatments

Our orthodontist and team are excited to provide personalized care that addresses your dental needs. Here’s an overview of the treatment options we offer:

Interceptive (Early) Treatment

We understand the importance of starting orthodontic care early. For young children, early intervention can prevent more complex issues in the future. Many children may experience overcrowding as their permanent teeth grow in. By using orthodontic appliances or braces during this critical stage, we can help improve alignment and avoid the potential need for tooth extractions later on.


Interceptive treatment is often recommended for children as young as seven years old to ensure their oral development stays on the right track. If you have questions about whether your child might benefit from early orthodontic care, our dental team is here to help you stay informed and confident in your decisions.

Avoid a Future Removal, Take Care Now

Clear Aligners (Including Invisalign)

For patients looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth, we proudly offer Invisalign. This nearly invisible option provides a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and feel confident during special occasions.


Clear aligners are an excellent treatment option for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces. Our orthodontist will work with you to ensure your aligners fit perfectly and deliver the desired results.

No Metal, No Wires, Try Clear Aligners

Conventional Braces

For patients who may not consistently wear removable aligners, we also offer conventional braces. Modern braces are more comfortable and less visible than ever before, making them a great choice for addressing more complex alignment and bite issues.


Conventional braces remain the most reliable orthodontic treatment for certain cases of severe misalignment or jaw issues. Our office uses advanced materials to create braces that are effective and as unobtrusive as possible. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your options and recommend the best solution for achieving your goal of a healthier, straighter smile.
