Braces are temporary. A beautiful smile is forever.
Today's braces are smaller, more comfortable and more efficient than ever. They remain the most versatile way to correct almost any orthodontic problem.
Straightening your teeth does more than improve your appearance. Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, wear more evenly and help your bite work the way it should, which lowers your risk of gum disease, cavities and jaw strain later in life.
Types of braces we offer
Metal Braces
Today's stainless steel braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. Kids and teens love picking new colors at each visit.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your smile. A popular, discreet choice for teens and adults.
Damon® Self-Ligating
Brackets with a built-in sliding door instead of elastic ties, so there's less friction and fewer items to keep clean.

From colored bands to WildSmiles® shaped brackets, braces can be a fun way to show your personality.
Who can benefit from braces?

What to expect
After your free consultation and records visit, placing your braces takes about one to two hours. You'll then visit us every four to eight weeks for quick adjustments, usually about 20 minutes. Most treatment takes between 12 and 30 months, depending on your needs.
Your first few days may bring some tenderness while your teeth adjust. Soft foods and an over-the-counter pain reliever usually help. We'll give you a care kit and show you exactly how to brush and floss with braces.
