Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters
Orthodontics is about more than looks. Teeth that are crooked or don’t meet properly can cause real problems:
- Harder to clean: crowded teeth trap plaque, raising the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Uneven wear: a bad bite can chip or wear down teeth over time.
- Jaw strain: some bite problems put extra stress on the jaw joints and muscles.
- Confidence: many people avoid smiling in photos because of gaps or crooked teeth.
Common Problems We Treat
- Crowding: not enough room for the teeth, so they overlap or twist.
- Gaps: spaces between teeth.
- Overbite: upper front teeth sit too far over the lower teeth.
- Underbite: lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth.
- Crossbite: some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth.
- Relapse: teeth that moved back after braces years ago.
Clear Aligner Treatment (Invisalign)
For most of our orthodontic patients, we use Invisalign clear aligners. They’re a series of custom, removable trays that move your teeth a little at a time. They’re hard to notice, you take them out to eat, and you brush and floss normally.
Clear aligners suit many adults and teens with crowding, gaps and mild to moderate bite problems. If your case needs a different kind of treatment, we’ll tell you at your consultation and explain your options.
How Treatment Works
- Free consultation: an exam and a conversation about your goals.
- 3D scan: a digital scan of your teeth to plan the movement precisely.
- Your treatment plan: an estimated timeline, an exact quote, and your insurance coverage reviewed.
- Treatment and check-ins: short progress visits, with evening and weekend times available.
- Retention: a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position.
When Should Children Be Assessed?
Kids benefit from having their bite checked as their adult teeth come in. Early checks can spot crowding or bite problems before they get worse. We look at your child’s bite during regular checkups at our children’s dentistry visits, and we’ll let you know if and when treatment makes sense.

Orthodontics FAQ
Do I need a referral for orthodontic treatment?
No. You can book a free consultation with us directly.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Simple cases can take several months, and more complex ones a year or more. We’ll give you a timeline after your 3D scan.
Am I too old for orthodontics?
No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and many of our clear aligner patients are adults.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
Cost depends on your case, so we give you an exact quote at your free consultation. We’ll check your insurance for orthodontic coverage and can set up 0% interest financing.
Does insurance cover orthodontics?
Some plans include orthodontic benefits, often with a lifetime maximum. We’ll review your plan and direct bill where we can.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For many cases, including crowding, gaps and mild to moderate bite problems, yes. Results depend on wearing aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. Some complex cases are better suited to other treatment, and we’ll tell you if that applies to you.
What happens after treatment?
You’ll wear a retainer to keep your teeth in place. Without one, teeth tend to drift back over time.
