Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention ensures optimal dental development for children. We address alignment issues before they become severe, using gentle techniques tailored to growing smiles. This proactive approach often reduces future treatment complexity and promotes lifelong oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet, removable aligners for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Our practice provides customized clear aligner therapy for teens and adults seeking aesthetic, comfortable orthodontic solutions with minimal disruption to daily life.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays deliver high-resolution imaging with significantly reduced radiation exposure. This technology enables precise diagnosis and treatment planning, ensuring accurate monitoring of orthodontic progress and early detection of potential issues.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We address sleep apnea through specialized orthodontic appliances that improve airway function. Our solutions aim to alleviate symptoms like snoring and breathing pauses, enhancing sleep quality and overall health for affected patients.
Retention
Retention phase treatment maintains your new smile after braces removal. We provide durable retainers and guidance to ensure teeth remain properly aligned, preserving your investment in orthodontic care for years to come.

Highly recommend coming to Dr. Ricupito and his team! The entire staff makes you feel welcome from the first time you walk in the door and every step is explained to you as you go through your treatment. Dr. Ricupito enjoys getting to know his patients and chooses the treatment plan that best fits your needs. I am not finished with my treatment yet, but I absolutely love the progress of my smile.

Dr Ricupito and his staff are amazing My daughter got braces for 2 years and through out the treatment we received excellent care and service from each one of them. We are very happy with the result and my daughter loved it. I would recommend Dr Ricupito without any doubt to anyone. I have recommended them to several friends and they too had a good experience here. My kid had a lot of misaligned teeth and I was worried she would need tooth extraction but Dr Ricupito came up with a customized plan and adjusted her tooth without any tooth extraction. Thank you Ricupito and team!

I love this place! They made my teeth super straight and the staff is incredibly friendly and kind. I had absolutely ugly teeth 2 years ago and now they are so straight.
