Services
Invisalign Treatments
Invisalign treatments use clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens seeking alternatives to traditional braces, this service offers comfortable, nearly invisible correction. Our practice provides personalized Invisalign plans with regular progress monitoring.
Braces for Adults
Specialized braces for adults address alignment issues with modern, low-profile options. We combine technical expertise with aesthetic considerations to deliver functional improvements and enhanced confidence. Treatment plans accommodate busy lifestyles with efficient scheduling.
Orthodontic Consultations
Complimentary consultations include comprehensive oral assessments and treatment recommendations. Our team evaluates dental health, discusses goals, and explains available options. This service helps patients make informed decisions about their orthodontic care.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Emergency services address broken braces, wire irritation, or other urgent issues. We prioritize prompt appointments to minimize discomfort and treatment delays. Our team provides immediate solutions while maintaining long-term treatment progress.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses childhood orthodontic issues in stages. Early intervention creates space for permanent teeth, followed by comprehensive alignment during adolescence. This approach optimizes long-term results and jaw development.

We had our second consultation with Dr. Godwin since moving to the area. He cares more about the patients than just making money and was so great with my pre-teen. The office staff is also very helpful and kind. Highly recommend!
