Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct misaligned teeth and jaw issues through precision brackets and wires. Our customized treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and bite problems for lasting results. Ideal for patients seeking durable, cost-effective solutions with proven outcomes.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces using SmartTrack material for gradual tooth movement. Suitable for adults and teens, this technology provides virtual treatment previews and requires fewer office visits for busy lifestyles.
TMJ Solutions
Specialized treatments for TMJ-TMD disorders and sleep apnea combine diagnostic imaging with customized oral appliances. Our approach alleviates jaw pain, improves sleep quality, and restores proper oral function through non-invasive techniques developed by board-certified specialists.
Clear Braces
Radiance clear braces provide aesthetic alternatives to metal brackets using tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with smiles. These durable, stain-resistant braces deliver the same corrective power as traditional systems while maintaining visual discretion during treatment.
Two-Phase Treatment
Sequential treatment plans address developing dental issues in children aged 7-10, followed by comprehensive alignment during adolescence. Phase one utilizes expanders and partial braces to guide jaw growth, creating optimal conditions for permanent tooth eruption and final bite correction.

Report
We knew for a while that our daughter would need braces. We received a referral and couldn't be happier. Dr Cavanaugh was very personable and and his treatment coordinator Kris was amazing. She explained everything to us and made sure we understood what the plan of care was for our daughter. We decided to get the braces on after we received the information. Tori helped with putting on the braces and talked my daughter through the process. We are on our way to straight teeth.

We had a consultation that tuned into my daughter getting braces that same day and everything exceeded my expectations! The staff and Drs. were so nice and friendly. The consult was very informative. Kim was so kind and nice and it really helped with how patient she was as my daughter was nervous. The Dr. called us after we got my daughters spacer in to check up on her and to see how she was doing and if we had any questions which I thought was so nice! If anyone is looking for a nice, professional, and just an overall wonderful experience I highly recommend!

Both of my children have gotten their braces here at Cavanaugh & Nondorf Orthodontics and the staff has been so so great! We have always had good experiences with each visit! Both kids were very nervous but everyone that has worked on their teeth has calmed their nerves. Makes this mom really happy!

Recently just got my braces off everything went smoothly every appointment and adjustment. Very attentive to your time and schedule. Pricing is VERY fair I did my research. A special thank you to all staff for their hospitality. And a special thank you to Sierra and Amy for helping me get through the impressions for my permanent retainers ha.

Today we began a braces journey with our oldest! He did an incredible job and fully trusted the team putting them on. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible! The open communication, reassurance, and comfortable environment was absolutely worth it. Thank you all! He looks so handsome

This office so far has been amazing! Dr. Nondorf and his lovely assistants have made my experience amazing starting with my consultation. Dr pointed out all of the treatment I was seeking before I even had to tell him myself, which was extremely reassuring. The assistants and ladies that work here alongside the Doctors are amazing, kind, and great at what they do! I'm so glad I chose this office to take care of my smile.
They even checked on me after getting my braces on to see how I was doing, so thoughtful of them! Every time I call they're able to give great advice and information if I have questions. All in all, this office and experience has been great and I hope it will continue to be this way for the rest of my treatment.
