Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Using custom-made, nearly invisible trays, this treatment gradually shifts teeth into optimal alignment while allowing patients to maintain oral hygiene and dietary habits. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives, Invisalign combines advanced 3D imaging technology with personalized care to achieve precise, comfortable results.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment addresses developing bite and alignment issues in children aged 7-10, preventing more complex problems later. By guiding jaw growth and creating space for permanent teeth, this phase reduces the need for extractions or surgery. Our approach focuses on establishing proper dental foundations, improving facial symmetry, and fostering long-term oral health through age-appropriate, minimally invasive techniques.
Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Adult orthodontic treatment corrects misaligned teeth and bite issues for patients seeking improved function and aesthetics. Options include traditional metal braces, ceramic brackets, and Invisalign, tailored to fit professional lifestyles. Beyond cosmetic benefits, proper alignment enhances oral hygiene, reduces wear on enamel, and alleviates jaw discomfort, contributing to overall health and confidence at any age.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw discrepancies affecting speech, chewing, or facial appearance. Performed in conjunction with orthodontics, this procedure repositions the upper and/or lower jaw to achieve proper alignment and function. Candidates often experience improved breathing, reduced TMJ pain, and enhanced facial harmony, with treatment plans developed through collaborative evaluation of dental and skeletal structures.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment, preventing relapse into previous positions. Custom-fabricated options include removable Hawley retainers and fixed lingual wires, each designed for durability and comfort. Proper retention ensures long-term stability of bite correction and smile aesthetics, with instructions for wear duration and care tailored to individual treatment outcomes and growth patterns.

I would like to commend Dr. Champion and his team for the excellent care that they have provided my teenage sons. Every aspect of the treatment at Champion Orthodontics is exceptional: from the safe and thoughtful check-in procedure, the treatment plan explanation, and the gentle care given by Dr. Champion. The scheduling is a breeze and the technology that they employ to send you reminders is very helpful.
I have witnessed the fantastic results that have Dr. Champion has achieved over the 8 years that I have known him. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail is why I chose his practice for my sons. I would highly recommend Champion Orthodontics for children, teenagers, and adults.
