Orthodontics

A straight, healthy smile does more than boost confidence—it improves oral health and function. We offer both traditional braces and clear aligners like Invisalign to help patients of all ages achieve their best smile.

Straighten your smile with orthodontics

Orthodontics is the specialized branch of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, an overbite, or an underbite, orthodontic treatment can gradually move your teeth into their ideal position, improving both aesthetics and functionality.

Braces: a time-tested solution

Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth. Using a system of brackets, wires, and bands, braces apply gentle, continuous pressure to guide teeth into alignment. Today’s braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever, making them a great option for patients with mild to severe alignment concerns.

Clear aligners: a discreet alternative

For those looking for a more discreet orthodontic solution, Invisalign and other clear aligner systems offer a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. These custom-made, removable trays gradually shift teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires. Since clear aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning, they provide added convenience and flexibility.

Benefits of orthodontic treatment

Straightening your teeth does more than improve your smile—it enhances your overall oral health. Benefits of orthodontic treatment include:

  • Improved bite alignment, reducing strain on the jaw

  • Easier brushing and flossing, lowering the risk of cavities and gum disease

  • Reduced risk of abnormal tooth wear caused by misalignment

  • A boost in confidence with a well-balanced, beautiful smile

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

The length of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of orthodontics used. Traditional braces typically take 18 to 24 months, while Invisalign treatment can range from 6 to 18 months for mild to moderate cases. During your consultation, our doctors will create a personalized treatment plan and timeline based on your unique needs.
