Whether you’re interested in traditional braces or Invisalign® clear aligners, our experienced orthodontic team is committed to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.

Orthodontic treatment does more than straighten teeth. Properly aligned teeth and jaws improve oral health, create a balanced bite, make brushing and flossing easier, and can even enhance speech and chewing function. Our goal is to provide comfortable, customized treatment that fits your lifestyle while delivering exceptional results.

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting problems related to tooth alignment and jaw development. Orthodontists use braces, Invisalign clear aligners, retainers, and other appliances to create healthier bites and straighter smiles.

Orthodontic treatment can improve both the function and appearance of your smile while reducing the risk of future dental problems caused by misaligned teeth.

Orthodontist vs. General Dentist: What’s the Difference?

After completing dental school, orthodontists receive an additional two to three years of advanced specialty education focused exclusively on tooth movement, facial growth, and bite correction. This specialized training allows orthodontists to diagnose complex orthodontic issues and develop customized treatment plans that general dentists may not be equipped to provide.

Choosing an orthodontist means your smile is being cared for by a specialist whose primary focus is creating healthy, properly aligned smiles.

Common Orthodontic Problems We Treat

Orthodontic treatment can correct a wide variety of bite and alignment issues, including:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps and spacing between teeth
  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Open bites
  • Jaw alignment concerns
  • Impacted teeth

Treating these conditions can improve oral health, reduce excessive tooth wear, make daily hygiene easier, and create a more confident smile.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

Every smile is unique, so treatment times vary based on your individual needs. Most orthodontic treatment is completed within 12 to 24 months, although some minor cases may require less time while more complex cases can take longer.

Factors that affect treatment length include:

  • The severity of tooth or bite alignment issues
  • The type of orthodontic treatment selected
  • Patient age and jaw development
  • Following your orthodontist’s instructions, including wearing aligners or rubber bands as directed

During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized treatment timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
