Our Treatment Options
Metal Braces
Metal braces are considered the "gold standard" in orthodontics. They are a great option for everyone at any age.
Clear Braces
Clear or ceramic braces are a great alternative option for those who want a more esthetic appearance.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a great option for those who are looking for comfort and minimal changes to their brushing routine.
Surgical Orthodontics
Just as orthodontics repositions teeth, surgical orthodontics (also known as orthognathic surgery) corrects jaw alignment to improve your ability to chew, speak, and breathe. Additionally, surgical orthodontics may be used to improve facial appearance. Moving the jaws also moves the teeth, so braces are always used in conjunction with jaw surgery.
Temporomandibular Disorders
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic facial and neck pain as well as severe, recurring headaches. In some cases, this pain is due to Temporomandibular Disorder, also known as TMD.
​
Your temporomandibular joints, or TMJs, connect your lower jaw to your skull. These joints get a lot of use throughout the day as you speak, chew, swallow, and yawn. Pain in and around these joints can be unpleasant and may even restrict movement.
