Keep your smile locked in with our Retainer Plus Program
Your retainer is the guardian of your new smile. One set comes with treatment, but life happens and they get lost, broken, or worn thin. We make replacement simple and affordable.
Catch problems early for growing kids
Early interceptive orthodontics guides jaw development and prevents complications that would require years of treatment later. Starting between ages seven and ten gives us a window to work with your child's natural growth.
Remember, there is a difference between an orthodontic check-up and actually starting orthodontic treatment. Only a few orthodontic problems will need correction around age 7.
Even so, not all treatment is done using braces or Invisalign treatment, and these other corrections are called interceptive orthodontics. If early corrections are necessary, they can often make later treatment easier or more successful.
Rapid palate expander widens the jaw
Creates space for permanent teeth to erupt naturally without crowding or extraction later.
Herbst appliance guides forward growth
Positions the lower jaw forward to correct underbites before they become structural problems.
Lower lingual holding arch prevents shifting
Keeps lower molars from drifting forward during growth, maintaining space for other teeth.
Nance appliance holds space securely
Anchors to the roof of the mouth and prevents upper molars from shifting during development.
Pendulum appliance creates room naturally
Moves upper molars back to make space for crowded front teeth without extraction.
Precision tools for complex cases
Some smiles need more than standard treatment. We use advanced techniques and technology to handle the cases others turn away. From impacted teeth to complex bite problems, we have the tools and expertise to get results.
LightForce braces deliver results faster
LightForce technology uses optimized force delivery to move teeth predictably and efficiently. Treatment times are shorter without sacrificing quality, and the system adapts to each patient's unique biology.
Digital impressions eliminate the goo
Our iTero scanners capture your teeth in seconds with no messy molds. The digital records are precise, comfortable, and stored safely for your entire treatment. You get a clear view of your teeth right on the screen.
Laser gingivectomy reshapes gum tissue
When gum tissue is uneven or covers too much tooth, laser gingivectomy reshapes it with precision and minimal discomfort. The result is a balanced smile and healthier gum contours that last.
Keep your teeth and straighten them
Extraction is not always necessary. Our advanced techniques create space and guide teeth into position without removing healthy permanent teeth. We preserve what you have and build a stronger bite.
Guide impacted canines into place
Impacted canines are teeth that fail to erupt naturally and get stuck in the jaw. We work with your dentist to guide them into their proper position using targeted force and surgical coordination when needed.
Prepare your smile for restorative work
Before implants, crowns, or bridges, orthodontics creates ideal spacing and positioning. We align your bite and teeth so your restorative dentist has the best foundation for lasting results.
Specialized care for complex bite problems
Some smiles need targeted solutions beyond standard treatment. We address overbites, breathing concerns, grinding, and habits with precision and care.
Overbite correction
Close excessive overlap between upper and lower teeth with targeted treatment.
Airway assessment
Evaluate and improve breathing, sleep quality, and overall wellness through orthodontics.
Bruxism protection
Custom appliances guard your teeth from nighttime grinding and clenching damage.
Habit breaking
Gentle reminders help children stop thumb-sucking, tongue-thrust, and other oral habits.

Two-phase treatment guides jaw growth and tooth eruption during childhood, then refines the final bite in adolescence. This approach prevents more serious problems and often reduces overall treatment time. It's ideal for kids showing early signs of bite issues.
Teeth naturally shift after braces come off, and a retainer holds them in their new position. Wearing your retainer as prescribed keeps your smile stable for life. Most patients wear theirs nightly or several times weekly, depending on Dr. Jared or Dr. Anna's recommendation.
Modern appliances are designed with comfort in mind, and kids adjust quickly. We use smooth materials and take time during your first visit to explain everything. Our team makes sure young patients feel at ease throughout treatment.
Early intervention is primarily for growing children, but adults have excellent options with Invisalign, braces, and specialized appliances. We assess your specific needs and recommend the best path forward. Many adults see remarkable results in less time than they expect.
Our in-house lab means faster turnarounds, better quality control, and customized adjustments. We can make changes immediately if needed, rather than waiting for outside labs. This gives you a smoother, more efficient treatment experience.
