- Jaw SurgeryYour orthodontist will consider surgical orthodontic treatment for non-growing adult patients with improper bites and those with facial aesthetic concerns. Jaw growth is usually completed by age 16 for girls and 18 for boys. All growth must be completed before jaw surgery can be performed. However the pre-surgical tooth movements can begin one to two years prior to these ages.

- Invisalign OrthodonticsNot only are the aligners nearly invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing take less time compared to traditional braces. They are also comfortable, with no braces to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. No braces and wires usually means you spend less time in our office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Aligners, however, does affect speech more than traditional braces as the aligners cover the entire tooth surface, an area often used by the tongue for speech.
- BracesTraditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and made of high-grade stainless steel. Metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
