- Dental Examination® digital scanner ), x-rays, and a comprehensive exam will be needed. In some cases, all of the necessary information can be obtained at the initial visit, and we can schedule an appointment to get treatment started. In other cases, a formal consultation appointment may need to be scheduled.
- Dental ImplantsMore and more adults are now enjoying the benefits of orthodontic treatment. In fact, more than one in four of our active patients are adults. While most adults seek treatment to achieve that smile they’ve always dreamed of, some patients are referred by their general dentist when the positions of their teeth make it impossible for the dentist to restore the teeth properly. With the advancements in implant dentistry, missing teeth can now be replaced. It is often necessary to align the teeth so that proper implant placement can be accomplished. The state-of-the-art techniques that we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time, and allow the patient to choose from several options. These options may include conventional stainless steel braces, clear braces, or clear plastic aligners made by Invisalign
- Oral Surgery
- Jaw SurgerySome patients present with severe skeletal problems that make it difficult to achieve an acceptable result with orthodontics alone. In these cases, it may be best to include jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) in the orthodontic plan. Orthognathic surgery can correct problems with chewing, talking, and sleeping that may be related to the skeletal problem. With surgical orthodontics, remarkable improvements to the patient’s profile and overall facial esthetics can be achieved.

- Invisalign OrthodonticsOlder teens and adult patients who wish to avoid traditional brackets and wires often qualify for clear, cosmetic aligners. Fabricated by Invisalign
- BracesMost orthodontic problems are best treated during the early teen years. Many of our young patients look forward to getting braces during this time when their peers are also wearing them. Picking which “colors” to put on the braces is typically a pretty exciting part of the process! When treatment is started during the early adolescent years, many patients are finished with active treatment and are enjoying the benefits of a healthy smile before starting high school.
