01 / Braces

Small adjustments.
Personal care.

Braces guide your teeth into alignment through controlled, gradual movement. We offer two types, with a treatment plan tailored to you.

Metal braces

Stainless-steel brackets offer a durable, reliable option for children, teens, and adults. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than earlier designs.

Ceramic braces

Clear or tooth-colored ceramic brackets blend with your teeth for a less noticeable appearance while providing precise tooth movement.

02 / Clear aligners

A clear option
for your smile.

Invisalign® & Angel Aligners

Removable aligners let you straighten your teeth without metal brackets.

Dr. Rachel creates a custom treatment plan using a series of clear aligners that gradually move your teeth. Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out for meals, brushing, and flossing.

At your consultation, we’ll discuss whether clear aligners are a good fit for your needs and what your daily routine during treatment would involve.

Talk through your options

For growing smiles.
And grown-up ones.

Orthodontic care looks different at different stages of life. Your plan should reflect that.

Children

Evaluations can begin at age seven. When appropriate, early treatment helps guide jaw development and the eruption of permanent teeth.

Teenagers

Braces and clear aligners can address alignment and bite concerns as teens grow. We’ll help your family understand the available options.

Adults

We provide personalized treatment for adults who want to address tooth alignment, bite concerns, or changes in their smile.

03 / Retainers & maintenance

Care continues
after treatment.

Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions.

Dr. Rachel will provide a custom retainer, instructions for wearing and caring for it, and a schedule for follow-up visits. Consistent wear is an important part of maintaining your results.

A closer look.
A clearer plan.

Photographs, digital scans, and X-rays give Dr. Rachel a detailed view of your teeth and bite. Together with your orthodontic exam, they help inform your treatment plan.
