Early Orthodontic Treatment
We recommend children receive their first orthodontic screening by age 7 to address potential issues early. Early evaluation allows us to create efficient treatment plans, saving time and costs. Our approach ensures optimal dental development and minimizes future complications through timely interventions.
Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic care is not limited to children; 25% of our patients are adults. We address complex dental challenges with tailored solutions, including braces and clear aligners. Our treatments improve smiles, bite alignment, and oral health, proving it's never too late for a confident, healthier smile.
Braces
We offer advanced bracket systems like Clarity and SmartClip braces for effective, comfortable treatment. These braces reduce friction and treatment time while maintaining durability and discretion. Our technology ensures precise tooth movement and fewer office visits for your convenience.
Clear Aligners
Our custom clear aligners provide a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces. Patients enjoy flexibility for eating and oral hygiene while achieving gradual, precise tooth movement. This option combines comfort with efficiency for minor to moderate orthodontic corrections.
LightForce Braces
LightForce uses indirect bonding and 3D printing for fully customized braces. This technology ensures a precise fit, faster treatment, and fewer emergencies. Brackets are pre-positioned for optimal alignment, offering a modern, efficient solution for achieving your ideal smile.

Both kids need invisiline after years of orthodontia. You would never know they even wore braces for years. What a waste of money

Spent a fortune on braces for 2 kids and their dentist recommends invisiline because their teeth have shifted! What a waste of thousands of dollars!

Dr. Fritz is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about what he does, and runs a wonderful practice. You know you will be in good hands and treated well. But most importantly, he's just an all-around nice guy. Orthodontic care is not necessary something you want to need, but if you do, Dr. Fritz is the guy!

CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! From the minute we stepped into the office until the moment we left, our experience was SO positive. Dr. Fritz and his entire team are not only knowledgeable but you can tell they genuinely care. Dr. Fritz even said a couple of times that he would look at my daughters treatment plan just like he did w/ his own children and I love that he is conservative when thinking about treatment options. I called for a couple of follow up items and they were friendly, quick and just so courteous. As a busy parent, the office staffs promptness was just so helpful.
