Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth discreetly for teens and adults. This removable system improves self-confidence during treatment and typically completes in 6-12 months. Our iTero scanner creates digital treatment plans for precise results.
Traditional Braces
Modern traditional braces effectively correct misaligned teeth for children, teens, and adults. Treatment lasts 12-24 months with regular adjustments, improving oral health, speech, and chewing efficiency through gradual tooth movement.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We provide custom oral appliances that reposition the jaw to open airways for obstructive sleep apnea patients. These devices reduce snoring, improve oxygen flow, and enhance sleep quality through non-invasive, comfortable nighttime wear.
Custom Athletic Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during sports activities with personalized color options. These durable guards prevent dental injuries, maintain alignment, and offer superior comfort compared to generic alternatives for active patients.
Lifetime Retainer Program
Our lifetime program ensures permanent retainer access for $50 per set after initial $899 enrollment. 3D scans eliminate future impressions, allowing remote replacements while maintaining teeth alignment post-treatment.

Finally at the end of the long journey, which was long drawn out when we hit the COVID bump. But I'm glad that it's over (at least with the braces experience). Thank you to the entire office staff and Dr. Ikeda.

I appreciate Sweet Smile Ortho so much. I went for ortho treatment to get the perfect smile for my wedding day. Everyone is so kind and welcoming--a special shout-out to Jaime, who was always patient in explaining the treatment process.

I would give this place negative 10 stars if I could! However, 5 stars for a very helpful and hard working lady in billing, Mirella H. This was one of the worst experience ever! I brought my children here for a complimentary orthodontic appointment. I made sure I asked them on several different occassions to make sure the consultation was free. I even had a document showing "free consultation". Yet, my insurance was billed for the consultation and they had the audacity to call me asking for payments!
It took a while, but Mirella was able to clear that issue. Then, it happens again! My insurance was billed for work we never had done! I never came back to their office after the 1 time consultation. If you ever came here for any kind of consultation be sure to check your insurance billing.
