Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet orthodontic solution using custom-fitted, removable plastic trays. This treatment gradually straightens teeth without metal brackets, ideal for patients seeking aesthetic alternatives. Regular tray changes and 20-22 hours daily wear ensure optimal results.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use durable brackets and wires for efficient tooth alignment. This cost-effective option works well for complex cases, with regular adjustments ensuring precise tooth movement over the treatment period.
Orthodontics for All Ages
We provide age-specific treatments from early childhood to adulthood. Customized plans address developmental needs, offering early intervention for children and discreet options for professionals while maintaining comfort and effectiveness.
Teeth Whitening
Opalescence Boost Whitening delivers professional-grade results in under an hour. This hydrogen peroxide-based treatment safely lightens enamel while strengthening teeth with added fluoride and sensitivity-reducing ingredients.

Rude and blamed my daughter for retainer kept breaking. I switched doctors and I had to jump through hoops to switch. Unprofessional

Extremely disappointed. My retainer broke so I went in for a new one. When Dr. Sexson first put the new one in, I told him right away that it did not fit correctly. He said to give it a few days. The new retainers ended up shifting my teeth so much that my bite would not close. After a few days, my jaw starting hurting so I went in to have it corrected. Instead of fixing my retainer, Dr. Sexson insisted on filing my teeth down on two separate occasions.
Three visits later, I gave up and asked for my money back. I felt like Dr. Sexson did not listen to my concerns. It was such a simple procedure: replace my retainers with one that would keep my teeth in their existing positions.

I agree with other recommending to go elsewhere. The staff is rude, unaccommodating, and unwelcoming (especially the office staff). I also have to agree with the gentleman that stated you're just a paycheck. they charge for everything and are not willing to help figure out solutions if scheduling issues arise.

Out of all the orthodontists I've ever met, Dr. Gary is by far the best I'd have to say. He's very kind, he listens, and he knows how to crack a good joke.
