Services
3M Clarity Aligners
3M Clarity Aligners offer a discreet, comfortable solution for straightening teeth using advanced Force/Flex material. These removable trays allow normal eating and oral hygiene while correcting issues like crowding and overbites. Treatment involves bi-weekly aligner changes and checkups every 8-10 weeks, combining convenience with proven results.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-quality brackets and wires to correct complex alignment issues. Modern designs feature smaller, smoother components for comfort, with treatment durations typically 1-3 years. Regular adjustments ensure gradual, precise tooth movement for lasting functional and aesthetic improvements.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
This specialty focuses on guiding facial growth and jaw alignment in children and teens. Early intervention addresses issues like crossbites and underdevelopment, creating optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption and reducing future treatment complexity through appliances like palatal expanders.
TMJ-TMD Treatment
Customized solutions for temporomandibular joint disorders include orthodontic adjustments and appliance therapy. Treatment alleviates symptoms like pain and clicking while improving jaw function and bite alignment, addressing both immediate discomfort and underlying structural causes.
Retainer Care
We provide durable, custom-fitted retainers and care instructions to preserve treatment results. Follow-up appointments monitor stability, with digital scans enabling efficient replacement if needed. Proper retention ensures long-term smile alignment after braces or aligner therapy.

100% would recommend! Both of my children have had their orthodontics taken care of by Hart. Everyone at the office is open, inviting, and most importantly VERY knowledgeable. Both of my kids love the staff and really enjoy the rewards program. If you are looking for an Ortho and do not have a recommendation from someone, you should have a consultation with them prior to making your choice. You will not regret it!

If I could give 6 stars, I WOULD. Dr. Hart and his nurses have taken great care of me and many people. The office is always clean, and everybody is so polite! Im currently four months into a two year process, but I can say so far that I'm looking forward to every visit! Thank you Dr. Hart!

My son and daughter are both receiving treatment here, and the dentists and staff at Hart Orthodontics are wonderful! We highly recommend them. The staff are friendly and helpful. We started with my daughter and added my son a couple of years later, and chose to continue with Hart Orthodontics because of how much we like everyone there.
