Dental Examination
It is very important children have an orthodontic evaluation by 7 to 8 years of age. Dental exams and cleanings are important but are different from orthodontic exams that evaluate issues of growth and development, airway and bite problems. learn more

Teeth Cleaning
It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months, even during your orthodontic treatment, for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure that you are receiving the best care possible.
Fluoride Treatment

Bridges

Dentures
Keep your retainer clean, too, by brushing it gently with a toothbrush and toothpaste. You may also soak it in denture cleaner as instructed by your orthodontist. Do not put your retainer in boiling water or in the dishwasher.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Most children lose all their baby teeth by age 13, and by the end of their teen years, the jaw bones will harden and stop growing. Orthodontic procedures for adults often take more time and can involve tooth extraction or oral surgery. Receiving early orthodontic treatment as a child can help prevent the need for orthodontics as an adult, leaving little to no chance of extraction or surgery in the future.
Jaw Surgery
The main difference between treating adults and children or teens is that the jawbones of younger patients are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may make orthognathic surgery necessary to align the jawbones. In many cases this is not a requirement for treatment. Many changes can be made without surgery. Other differences include...
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
I really enjoy coming to work and creating healthy, beautiful smiles. My staff and I are passionate in making sure your care is comfortable, friendly and fun. We feel blessed to be in the wonderful profession of orthodontics. Orthodontics is exciting because it combines art, science and technology to give each person their signature smile. We have had several past patients that have also chosen dentistry/orthodontics as their profession.
Invisalign Orthodontics
There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner in the world. Our office is proud to be a certified provider of Invisalign clear aligners, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Braces
When you have braces, it's very important to brush and floss after every meal in order to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your orthodontic treatment. As you eat, your teeth, braces and appliances collect food. If this food is left overnight, a thick plaque forms on the teeth and gums. Plaque causes bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. Bleeding and swollen gums are a sure sign that plaque is not being properly removed. If your gums are swollen and inflamed, your teeth will not move as easily, you will experience more discomfort during your treatment, and white spots or decay will form on the teeth under and around the braces and appliances. It is discouraging to work hard to straighten teeth, only to finish and find decay and white spots on the teeth. Excellent oral hydiene is essential for a great orthodontic result. If you need help choosing the right toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss, please ask us and we can help you choose the right products for your teeth and your appliance. There is also a toothpaste that can show plaque that needs to be brushed away in blue called PLAQUE HD. You can buy this from us or online.
