Services
SureSmile Clear Aligners
SureSmile Clear Aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Custom-designed using digital scans, these aligners gradually shift teeth into optimal alignment. Patients appreciate their comfort, convenience, and ability to maintain oral hygiene easily during treatment.
Teen Orthodontics
Our teen orthodontic programs address alignment issues during critical growth phases. Early intervention helps correct bite problems, overcrowding, and jaw development to prevent future complications. We use age-appropriate appliances and techniques to ensure comfort and confidence during treatment.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics focuses on guiding facial and jaw growth in children to create proper alignment for permanent teeth. This early treatment can reduce the need for extractions or surgery later, improving both function and aesthetics.
7&Up Club
The 7&Up Club provides specialized orthodontic care for children starting at age 7. We monitor dental development, address thumb-sucking habits, and correct early signs of misalignment to ensure healthy smiles as permanent teeth erupt.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our team creates personalized treatment plans using 3D imaging to map tooth movements, offering a nearly invisible alternative to metal braces for teens and adults.

We got off to a rocky start here but after sharing my concerns about communication there wasn't one visit that I wasn't updated on my son's progress. I can't say enough about Sarah, she is just pure sunshine. We transferred care due to a move out of state and she got everything sent over before I even made it to my destination. She got promoted to office manager the day we left. Very deserving. The office is clean and cheerful and their payment plans were very flexible.

Always a wonderful experience when going in for appointments! I have had 2 children who were treated by Dr. Wood and they had wonderful outcomes with their braces. This made me a bit jealous, so I began treatment with Invisalign in late 2016. I have been treated by Dr. Wood and Dr. Jewett. I am nearing the end of my treatment, as I did the molds for my retainers today! I am excited at my outcome and would recommend these folks very highly! Dr. Jewett is an awesome addition to this highly professional team!

I went to Tri-Cities Orthodontic for Invisalign and there's not a single negative thing to say. My teeth look great and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The entire office is filled with the sweetest people. I'm usually hesitant to refer people to places, but I recommend them 100%. They'll work with you until you are completely in love with your results.

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Wood and all of his staff. Everyone is extremely nice and friendly. Always very minimal, if any, wait time when I arrive for appointments. I am very pleased with all treatment I have received so far. I couldn't ask for better customer service!

The staff at Dr. Wood's office is wonderful. They are friendly, efficient, and always helpful. We have received excellent results so far under the care of Dr. Wood. If you are seeking orthodontic care or trying to decide between braces and invisalign, it would be well worth your time to schedule a consult. Dr. Wood is upfront, honest, and has your best interest. I would highly recommend Tri-Cities Orthodontics.
