Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to straighten teeth efficiently. They offer durability and allow for colored elastics customization. Ideal for patients seeking reliable, cost-effective orthodontic treatment with proven results.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces blend with natural tooth color for a discreet appearance, ideal for teens and adults. While larger than metal braces, they provide aesthetic benefits for upper front teeth alignment with careful oral hygiene maintenance.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer removable, nearly invisible trays for gradual tooth movement. Patients enjoy dietary freedom and easier oral hygiene while achieving results comparable to traditional braces, suitable for both teens and adults.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention addresses jaw development and bite issues in children aged 7-10. This phase creates space for permanent teeth, reduces future treatment complexity, and promotes proper facial growth through appliances like palatal expanders.
Digital Impressions
TRIOS digital impressions replace traditional molds with precise, comfortable 3D scans of teeth. This technology enhances treatment planning accuracy, reduces appointment time, and improves patient experience during initial consultations and progress evaluations.

I have had a great experience with Huerter Orthodontics! They take the time to listen to my concerns, are very professional and easy to talk to. They have great payment plan options and let you know the total cost up front. I would highly recommend and am glad I chose them for my orthodontic care!

My son got his braces on recently - he said it was very quick and easy and he didn't feel anything. Made him very comfortable to go back and not be scared of this!
