Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth. This option allows for easy removal while eating and simplifies oral hygiene, providing a comfortable, flexible approach to treatment.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are placed on the back of the teeth, making them nearly invisible. They are custom-designed for each patient, aligning teeth effectively without being noticeable and providing both aesthetic appeal and efficiency.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most commonly used option for orthodontic care. They are smaller, more comfortable, and made from durable metal alloys. You can customize your braces with colorful elastics for a unique look.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces, also known as clear braces, have tooth-colored brackets and wires, offering a discreet treatment option. They effectively align teeth, making them a popular choice for those who want a discreet way to enhance their smile.

Today was our daughters initial consultation. The staff are extremely kind and worked hard to put her anxiety at ease about receiving orthodontic care. They provided a tour, have various areas for kids to take photo ops, and they have a dedicated kid space. Dr. G is very knowledgeable and explained in excellent detail her plan of care. Additionally, the staff took time to ask her hobbies, summer plans, and favorite color. This office was amazing years ago when our son was a patient, and they still are absolutely wonderful!!
