Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our Diamond+ provider status ensures access to the latest techniques and materials. The nearly invisible aligners allow patients to maintain confidence during treatment while achieving precise tooth movement through customized sequential trays.
Braces
Modern braces effectively correct complex alignment issues using advanced bracket systems. Our practice utilizes Pitts brackets that reduce treatment time while maintaining comfort. This proven method addresses severe crowding, spacing, and bite issues through precise force application and 3D tooth control.
Phase 1 Orthodontics
Early interceptive treatment addresses developing orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10. By intervening during jaw development, we can correct bite problems, create space for permanent teeth, and potentially avoid future extractions or surgery through guided growth techniques.
MARPE
Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion corrects narrow upper jaws without surgery. This innovative technique improves breathing, creates proper tooth alignment space, and enhances facial development by expanding the palate using temporary anchorage devices for precise control.
Pitts Brackets
Pitts brackets use self-ligating technology for efficient tooth movement. These advanced brackets reduce friction, allow for lighter forces, and provide better 3D control of tooth positioning. The system decreases treatment duration while maintaining patient comfort through optimized archwire interactions.

I just got my braces on recently here and the staff is so lovely! Definitely makes you more comfortable getting adult braces! Taylor the records tech is so sweet and Dr. Lee is the best- she makes you feel comfortable and is very detail oriented.

I highly recommend this orthodontist. All the workers are very friendly here. Customer service is great and they understand the needs of the patients. I want to say that Dr Lee is amazing at what she does. Her care and professionalism is outstanding. Even though I'm older and my teeth were very crooked she was able to straighten my bottom teeth in 4 months to transition to a retainer. My upper teeth are straightening well and is in progress. I am very satisfied with their services. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable, professional, friendly ortho in this area.

I am so impressed by the professional staff at VP Smiles. Supported by the latest in orthodontic technology, the staff works with each patient to devise a personal treatment program. I am an older adult who previously had orthodontics as a young person but my teeth shifted out of alignment. VP Smiles has given me back my smile. I cannot thank them enough. If you are considering orthodontics as a mature person, I recommend the caring and welcoming staff at VP Smiles.
