Orthodontic Treatment
Our comprehensive orthodontic treatments correct misaligned teeth and jaws using modern techniques. We offer personalized treatment plans that typically last 12-18 months, utilizing advanced materials for faster results with minimal discomfort. Our specialists work closely with patients to ensure optimal outcomes through regular adjustments and patient education.
Clear Aligners
We provide discreet orthodontic solutions with clear aligner technology. These removable, custom-fitted trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Our specialists monitor progress through regular check-ups to ensure treatment stays on schedule while maintaining patient comfort and convenience.
Early Treatment
Our early intervention program addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10. This phase focuses on guiding jaw development, creating space for permanent teeth, and correcting harmful habits. Early treatment often simplifies future orthodontic work and helps prevent more complex issues from developing as children grow.
Retention Services
We offer comprehensive retention solutions to maintain treatment results after braces removal. Our specialists provide three retainer types - Hawley, bonded wire, and clear aligner-style retainers. Patients receive detailed instructions for proper care and wear schedules to ensure long-term stability of their corrected smiles.
Complimentary Exams
We offer free initial orthodontic evaluations for new patients. During these consultations, our specialists assess dental alignment, discuss treatment options, and provide personalized recommendations. This service helps patients understand their specific needs and available solutions before beginning any orthodontic treatment.

My oldest child is Deaf and uses ASL. When we began our search for an orthodontist, some complained about the cost of providing an interpreter, not Dr. Shepherd. Not only did his office willingly provide an ASL interpreter for every appt, but he rercorded the movies he shows to include captions on them. Our son was his only Deaf patient too. We were so impressed with him and his staff that we brought our 2nd oldest son to get braces with him too. Now both boys are done with their braces and their teeth look great! I'd recommend Shepherd orthodontics to everyone! And will use him for my younger children.

I am obligated to leave a review after my experience. I am not a patient and have not had orthopedic work done for about 8 years now. My permanent retainer broke off on one tooth. Shepherd Orthodontics was the closest office to me. Normally to have a single tooth recemented it costs about $50. This processes is only about 10 minutes so it is costly for the time. Shepherd refused my payment even after I insisted to pay.
They said the work is so little and so quick they do not want me to pay for it, and I'm not even their patient. When this work was needed before, every orthodontist was very quick to take my card and charge it. 10/10 would break my retainer again and go back to them. Good business practices and employees.

Our daughter, the third family member to be treated by Dr. Shepherd, just finished treatment. We knew she would need orthodontic care pretty early on, and he saw her for years, keeping track of how her teeth were doing and planning the eventual treatment. It took a while due to crowding and an unusual tooth, but now her molars meet and decent chewing is possible! The beautifully straight front teeth are wonderful too, of course : Dr Shepherd always gives careful consideration to each treatment plan, clearly presenting the pros and cons of alternative options.
I especially appreciate the time he takes to explain everything. All the employees are very friendly and welcoming, and his office sends us an occasional card to mark a special event or wish us well. We're already repeat customers, and we'll be taking our other kids to Dr. Shepherd if they need braces.
