Preventive

• Space Maintainers
  Space Maintainer — An appliance that is used after premature loss of primary teeth to prevent the space from closing before the permanent teeth can erupt.

Restorative

• Dental Bonding

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Jaw Surgery
  Two phase treatment is a specialized process where by both tooth straightening and jaw and facial realignment are accomplished in two separate phases of active orthodontic treatment. With two phases of treatment, we can have a dramatic effect on skeletal changes and can reduce the need for removal of permanent teeth and jaw surgery. In some cases, we can achieve results that may not be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing.

• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Each set of aligners should be worn for 2 weeks, taking them out only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you move from one aligner to the next, your teeth will move little by little, week by week until they have reached their final position. We see Invisalign patients every 6 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. The treatment time will vary depending on the individual patient.
• Braces
  Today I have sons, 15 and 17 year old, who have both been treated by Dr. Peyton. At a young age both boys began to show signs of the jaw issue I had suffered from. Under Dr. Peyton's care their jaws have been adjusted in such a way as they may never need to go through the surgery I did. Today one son has completed his final phase of braces and the other one is getting very close to being finished. They both have amazing smiles and gorgeous teeth.
