Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use high-quality brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. Ideal for patients of all ages, this method offers durable, reliable results for complex orthodontic cases. Our team ensures comfort and efficiency through regular adjustments and personalized care.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners provide a discreet, removable alternative to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Custom-designed for each patient, these aligners address mild to moderate alignment issues while allowing flexibility in daily routines like eating and oral hygiene.
i-CAT 3D Imaging
Our i-CAT 3D imaging system captures detailed, high-resolution images of teeth and jaw structures in seconds. This technology enables precise treatment planning, reduces radiation exposure, and enhances diagnostic accuracy for optimal orthodontic outcomes.
TADs
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small titanium screws used to improve tooth movement control during orthodontic treatment. They provide stable support for complex cases, reducing treatment time and enhancing results without additional appliances.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We offer custom oral appliances to manage sleep apnea by repositioning the jaw and keeping airways open during sleep. These non-invasive solutions improve breathing patterns and sleep quality for patients seeking alternatives to CPAP machines.

My oldest got his braces here about 10 years ago. My daughter had hers for about a year and were just removed. Both have straight teeth - no hassles. Both had no interest payment options. Very friendly staff towards me but more importantly, my kids. Treatment plan was as estimated for time, treatment and cost.

My experience at Dr. Shipley's office was flawless. Orthodontic emergencies are uncommon, but I had one, and they squeezed me in urgently as a new patient. The staff were delightful and professional and made the process seamless. My case was complicated and unscheduled, but Dr. Shipley gave me the time and attention I needed. He reviewed my imaging with me in detail, consulted with my periodontist during the visit, gave me valuable information and qualified recommendations, then performed a procedure that brought me instant relief. As a physician, I know that such high quality service doesn't happen accidentally. I left Dr. Shipley's office impressed, informed, relieved, and grateful.

My son with autism not only had a problem with his teeth but he also had a tongue thrust for years. Thanks to Dr. Shipley diagnosing the issue with my son's tongue thrust, we were able to resolve the issue with the ENT Dr. & now he no longer has the tongue thrust. And he has beautiful straight teeth. Not only are Dr. Shipley and his staff helpful but friendly and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Shipley.

Dr. Shipley and his team were caring and professional with my Invisalign treatment, from my first consultation with Dr. Shipley explaining my treatment plan until my under bite and TMJ issues we're corrected. I couldn't be happier with my results and my Smile. Thank you Dr. Shipley and your team. It was a truly wonderful experience. Joe

I used to think Dr. Shipley and his staff were professional, friendly, and helpful. However, when my 14 yr. old told me about his experience today I'm disappointed. Dr. Shipley was openly talking about Columbus and Indigenous Day. Dr. Shipley along made ignorant comments about a hurtful traumatic event that took place many years ago. As a professional everyone has the right to their opinion but not in the work place. Especially not in front of my 14 yr. old who is of First Nations People. Be mindful of others and keep your opinions out of your work environment. Thank you!

My three kids were treated at Shilpey and none of them have straight teeth. I see my friends kids having straight teeth because every other orthodontist puts a permanent retainer on children. I understand adults can use a removable retainer but kids will not use them correctly. I even asked the staff multiple times if my kid could get a permanent and it went on deaf ears. I am now paying out of pocket at Risas Dental cus all my ins was used at Shipley but cant affor for my other kid. I even called Shipley to see if they could do some kind of scholarship funding because Butterfly Ortho does that but the staff never heard of such a scandal.lol too much money for no results
