What we do
Five kinds of care, from a first check to retainers
Each page says what happens, how comfortable it is, what the risks are and how it is billed.
A first check
A short visit for a child growing into their adult teeth. The doctor looks, talks with a parent, and says whether to wait, watch or plan.
Read about itBraces
Brackets and wires, adjusted at check-ins, for children, teens and adults whose bite or crowding calls for them.
Read about itClear aligners
A series of clear trays, worn as directed, for the bites the doctor judges they suit.
Read about itAdult treatment
Orthodontics for adults, with gum health looked at first and your own dentist in the loop.
Read about itRetainers
What holds the teeth in place afterward, fixed or removable, and what to do when one is lost.

Services
What stays with your dentist
We do orthodontics and nothing else. These stay where they are.
Cleanings and fillings
Your own dentist keeps them, and we ask that they continue during treatment.
Extractions and gum care
If a tooth has to come out or the gums need treatment, your dentist or an office they refer you to does it.
Sedation
We do not offer sedation. Most orthodontic visits are done awake and without numbing, and if one needs it the doctor says so first.
