Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces, this treatment corrects misalignment without metal brackets. Patients appreciate the removable design for eating and cleaning.
Conventional Metal Braces
Durable metal braces offer precise tooth movement for complex cases. Modern designs are smaller and more comfortable, with options for colored bands to personalize treatment. Effective for all age groups requiring comprehensive orthodontic correction.
Esthetic Clear Braces
Clear ceramic braces blend with teeth for a subtle appearance. These fixed appliances provide effective alignment while maintaining aesthetics, preferred by patients seeking less visible treatment than metal braces.
Invisible Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind teeth for complete invisibility. Custom-fitted to each patient, they offer discreet correction for professionals and image-conscious individuals without compromising treatment outcomes.
TMJ Therapy
Specialized TMJ therapy addresses jaw pain and dysfunction through splints and bite adjustments. Effective for patients experiencing headaches, clicking, or discomfort from misaligned jaw joints, providing lasting relief.

Dr Bauer and staff are amazing! I've had two kids who have needed orthodontic services and have never had any issues getting in for an appointment. In fact, we were usually taken before our appointment time, which was so nice! Highly recommend Bauer Orthodontics!

The care and service are exceptional here. We have had adult braces, early braces for our younger children, and more advanced orthodontia for our older children and all along have received high quality care with warm and welcoming patience service. The building is fun and very clean, the staff is personable and helpful, and Dr. Bauer is very knowledgeable and passionate. Our wait time has always been short, which the kids usually hate because they love the juice boxes and games in the waiting room. I highly recommend!

We have, and will continue to recommend their office to anyone interesting in receiving orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Bauer has treated our two oldest children. He has exceptional bedside manner and expertise, his entire staff is warm, friendly and knowledgeable, and the office is run like a well-oiled machine. Our children's smiles are gorgeous! We could not be more pleased with Bauer Orthodontics. We will definitely be bringing our other children to his office when the time comes. Thank you, Dr. Bauer!

We LOVE Dr. Bauer! He has treated 2 of my children, my husband & currently myself! He & his entire staff are so professional & caring! They are extremely accommodating with appointments (I've forgotten a few), Dr. Bauer's office is run so efficiently, it's clean, & organized & everyone is always so polite & happy! As an adult getting braces I was super nervous about the the whole thing, but Dr. Bauer was nothing but gracious & kind & patient with my many questions! I highly recommend Bauer Orthodontics, I would never even consider going anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Bauer!
