Services
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using virtually invisible, removable plastic aligners. This modern alternative to traditional braces offers comfort and discretion for patients seeking subtle orthodontic treatment. Ideal for both teens and adults, Invisalign addresses common alignment issues while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Clear Braces
Clear braces provide an aesthetic alternative to metal braces with transparent brackets that blend with natural teeth. They deliver the same effective tooth movement as traditional braces while maintaining a less noticeable appearance. This option suits patients seeking discreet orthodontic correction for various alignment concerns.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite and alignment issues in children aged 7-10. Our complimentary growth guidance program monitors dental development to determine optimal treatment timing. This proactive approach can prevent more complex issues and create better conditions for future orthodontic work.
Adolescent Treatment
Specialized orthodontic care for teenagers combines effective treatment with lifestyle considerations. We offer multiple brace options including traditional metal, clear, and Invisalign Teen. Our experienced team addresses common adolescent dental concerns while maintaining treatment efficiency and patient comfort.
Adult Treatment
Adult orthodontic solutions address alignment issues at any age using modern techniques and discreet options. We provide comprehensive evaluations to determine the most effective treatment plan, considering dental health history and lifestyle needs. Our practice helps adults achieve improved oral health and confidence through personalized care.

Report
Dr. Paden was my Orthodontist and is my Orthodontist of choice for my children. The children's Dentist tried to send us to their "new" Orthodontist, but I rather have a great result and spend less money TY. My Children are almost done and I'm very happy with my decision.
