Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, transparent aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Ideal for teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic treatment, this method allows for easy eating and cleaning while correcting misalignments. Our practice provides customized treatment plans with regular progress monitoring.
Clarity Ceramic Braces
Clarity Ceramic Braces offer tooth-colored brackets for less visible orthodontic treatment. These durable, stain-resistant braces effectively correct moderate to severe misalignments while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Regular adjustments ensure gradual tooth movement toward optimal positioning.
Pediatric Orthodontics
Two-phase orthodontic treatment addresses developmental dental issues in children. Early intervention guides jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth, reducing future complications. We focus on breaking harmful habits like thumb-sucking while promoting proper oral development through specialized appliances.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw misalignments in combination with orthodontic treatment. This procedure addresses functional issues affecting chewing, speaking, and breathing while improving facial symmetry. Our team coordinates with oral surgeons to develop comprehensive treatment plans for optimal results.
Retainer Care
Post-treatment retainer care maintains corrected tooth positions and prevents orthodontic relapse. We provide durable retainers and detailed care instructions to ensure long-term stability. Replacement services address lost or damaged retainers, preserving your investment in a straightened smile.

Dr. McElroy was highly recommended to us through our regular dentist. We've had great experiences working with him over the years with our kids. Dr. McElroy has a lot of experience and knowledge of orthodontics. He explains things in a way that is very easy to understand. He has a great way of interacting with kids and making our appointments fun. Going to the orthodontist here is fun.

We love Dr. Mac! He is very knowledgeable but also practical and realistic in his approach. Everyone in his office is incredibly kind while also being professional. They go out of their way to make patients/families feel welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend!

I have been going here for my braces since middle school and I am now in 11th grade. I normally strongly dislike going to the dentist or orthodontist but ever since I started going to Dr. McElroy I don't mind it at all. The spider man theme of the office makes it feel more kid friendly and calms nerves for younger kids. Also everyone who helps out Dr. McElroy is extremely nice. Overall I think 5 stars is the best way to describe this experience

Having orthodontics as an adult isn't ideal but Dr. McElroy has made the experience go by so smoothly! He's honest, such a fun guy, and the staff is awesome! His Spider-Man themed office is a plus as well. If you're going to have orthodontics you might as well have fun looking at the stuff around you while you're there!
