Services
Adult Braces
Adult braces address misaligned teeth and jaw issues for improved oral health and aesthetics. Our customized treatment plans use modern braces technology to correct bite problems, spacing, and crowding. Patients benefit from enhanced chewing function, reduced risk of dental disease, and boosted confidence through a straighter smile.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet teeth straightening through removable, custom-fitted aligners. This treatment option suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. The system gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Bite Correction
Bite correction addresses overbites, underbites, and crossbites to improve dental function and facial symmetry. Our orthodontists use specialized appliances and braces to realign jaws and teeth. Proper bite alignment reduces wear on teeth and alleviates jaw pain associated with TMJ disorders.
Phase One Orthodontics
Phase One treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10 to guide proper jaw development. This early intervention creates space for permanent teeth and corrects structural problems. It often reduces future treatment complexity and duration.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after active orthodontic treatment. We provide both fixed and removable options tailored to individual needs. Proper retainer use ensures long-term stability of your corrected bite and straightened teeth.

Dr Mooney, Angie and Nancy are truly the best! My son has a rare issue with his teeth. He's missing numerous adult teeth and everyone here has taken his treatment in stride and has done an amazing job so far! We still have a long road ahead of us and I'm more than confident they can handle everything!
