Treatments

All Ages

There are orthodontic solutions for every stage of life. Two-phase orthodontics for our youngest patients addresses early orthodontic issues and creates a strong foundation for lifelong smiles.

Early treatment, also known as Phase One, is typically completed between the ages of 7 and 10. It addresses serious orthodontic issues, guiding jaw and dental development and setting the foundation for a beautifully aligned smile in the future. By addressing issues early, we harness bone growth and alignment of both primary and permanent teeth, reducing the need for more invasive treatment later on.

Teen treatment, sometimes known as Phase Two (for patients that had an early treatment), creates a harmonious bite and ensures that each tooth is properly positioned for optimal oral function and aesthetics. Comprehensive teen treatment may involve clear aligner therapy, braces or orthodontic appliances to address any remaining issues, such as overcrowding, spacing, or bite discrepancies.

There is no age limit to orthodontics! Whether you are 19 or 85, it is never too late to get the smile you've always wanted. Dr. Smith will work with you to customize your treatment plan to your individual needs; coordinating with specialists and your dentist to ensure the best possible care.

Braces

We offer both traditional metal braces and aesthetic clear braces.

Metal braces are suitable for patients of all ages and can effectively correct a wide range of orthodontic issues. These braces can be a lot of fun for younger — and bolder — patients to customize with colorful elastics, expressing their unique style while working toward a straighter smile.

Clear braces offer an aesthetic alternative to traditional metal braces. Made from translucent resin or ceramic materials, these brackets blend with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable. While providing the same reliable results as metal braces, clear braces offer an aesthetic advantage, making them a preferred choice for those who desire a more subtle orthodontic solution.

Clear Aligners

We offer a range of clear aligner options to discreetly straighten your teeth.

Smith Aligners is our in-office brand, designed to provide efficient and effective orthodontic treatment. These aligners are tailored to your unique needs and are closely monitored by our expert team throughout your journey to ensure the best results.

Surgical Orthodontics
