Services
SureSmile Aligners
SureSmile Aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces using 3D technology for customized tooth movement. Patients wear each aligner for two weeks, gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions without metal brackets.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable trays to straighten teeth without wires or brackets. Custom-designed plans ensure gradual movement, with new aligners every two weeks. Suitable for correcting mild to moderate misalignments while maintaining oral hygiene easily.
AcceleDent Aura
AcceleDent Aura speeds up tooth movement by up to 50% using patented SoftPulse Technology. Patients use the device 20 minutes daily alongside braces or aligners, reducing treatment time safely and comfortably for all ages.
Clear Braces
Clear braces provide a less visible alternative to metal braces, using tooth-colored brackets and wires. They are ideal for patients seeking effective treatment with a more aesthetic appearance, particularly teens and adults.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We address urgent issues like broken wires, loose brackets, or discomfort outside regular appointments. Prompt care ensures treatment stays on track and minimizes discomfort, with temporary solutions like wax or saltwater rinses advised.

This office is clean, presentable, and inviting. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and easy to talk to. The providers reflect the same energy and service of their staff. I made the best choice taking my son to this office for his orthodontic care.

As an "older" recipient of braces, I am extremely satisfied with the services I've received from Barrer & White. Everyone is very professional, the office is always clean, and timing is always efficient. Kudos to this excellent medical facility during the Covid-19 pandemic also. I always felt safe.

My first experience with Barrer & White was as a patient. 30yrs later, it was a no brainer to bring our daughters to Barrer & White. We have been apart of the family for the last 4-5hrs. The staff is amazing: exceptionally friendly. All the front desk staff are so incredibly nice to my daughters, especially Lori who they love. They took care of them during COVID when parents couldn't go in office. They always followed up with us to let us know our daughters status after their appointment. You cannot ask for a better family atmosphere to take care of your children's orthodontic needs!

I have been an adult patient at Barrer & White for the past nine months. My experience has been exceptional since this office is run with extreme efficiency and utmost professionalism. Both Doctors and staff are approachable and informative, truly a pleasure to work with them. Appointment time is as scheduled and handled thoroughly and swiftly. I have already recommended Barrer & White to others and will continue to do so. An excellent experience!
