The classic choice, strong and steady, great for serious smile moves.
Blends in with your teeth, for those who want to keep it low-key.
Just as effective as traditional metal braces, but with a gold finish that can make them a unique part of your look.
What We Can Fix with Braces: Got some crowded teeth, spaces, or a bite that’s a little off? Braces can handle it! They’re perfect for straightening out even the trickiest smiles.
Who Can Get Braces: Kids, teens, adults – braces are here for everyone at any age.
Once your braces are placed, they work continuously to move your teeth into their ideal positions.
You’ll visit us every 6-8 weeks for adjustments and, of course, to pick new colors for your bands!
Other than those visits, the braces do most of the work while you focus on keeping your teeth clean and enjoying the journey.
Clear aligners are clear, comfy, and ready to work around your lifestyle.
What Clear Aligners Can Fix: Great for lining up crooked teeth, closing gaps, and fixing mild bite issues without the metal.
Who Can Rock Clear Aligners: Perfect for teens and adults who want a nearly invisible way to straighten up their smile. In some cases, clear aligners can even be a good option for kids!
Clear aligners give you the flexibility to straighten your teeth with nearly invisible trays.
You’ll visit us every 8-10 weeks so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Success with aligners depends on commitment—you’ll need to wear your trays for about 22 hours a day, removing them only when eating or drinking.
Consistency is key! Wearing your aligners full-time is the only way to achieve the results you’re after.
Braces are a versatile treatment option that effectively treats a variety of orthodontic issues. Aligners can treat anything that braces can, but in severe cases, braces might be the better option.
