Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Ideal for teens and adults seeking discreet orthodontic solutions, this system effectively corrects mild to moderate alignment issues while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Our practice has extensive experience with Invisalign, including specialized Teen treatment options featuring compliance indicators and eruption tabs for growing smiles.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite problems and jaw alignment issues in children aged 7-10. This phase creates proper space for permanent teeth eruption and guides facial development. Treatment may include palatal expanders, space maintainers, or limited braces to correct crossbites, overbites, and crowding before comprehensive treatment in adolescence.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through customized orthodontic appliances and bite adjustments. This specialized care alleviates symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and clicking sounds by correcting improper jaw alignment. Treatment plans integrate advanced diagnostic imaging and may include orthodontic adjustments combined with physical therapy recommendations.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw discrepancies that affect function and facial appearance. This treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontics with surgical repositioning of the jaws to improve chewing, speaking, and breathing. Our team coordinates care with oral surgeons to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes for complex bite relationships.
Temporary Anchorage Devices
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADS) are small titanium screws used to enhance tooth movement precision during orthodontic treatment. These mini-implants provide stable anchorage points that allow complex movements without relying on patient compliance. TADS enable more efficient space closure and better control of tooth positioning in challenging cases.

Report
After a bicycle accident, I needed emergency dental treatment. Following that, I was sent to Weisner Orthodontics for more treatment. Dr. spent a significant amount of time and effort on what should be done next. Following that, he was excellent at outlining my alternatives, and we jointly agreed on the next course of action. My experience with Weisner Orthodontics has been fantastic so far. The staff are wonderful!

I just visited Weisner Orthodontics and had seen Dr. He determined that invisilign would be the best option for me (which I highly recommend). He reshaped my teeth after that. My results are fantastic! Overall, nice, polite personnel; I was never kept waiting long, the clinic was clean, and they were swift and efficient. Both of my children will need braces, and I will undoubtedly return to Weisner Orthodontics. Look no farther if you're seeking for a fantastic Orthodontist!

This office is a big WOW! I recently moved to the Merrimack Valley and landed in their office. What a difference from my childhood experience. INVISALIGN has changed my life. As a woman in sales, it's so important to have a big, welcoming smile when meeting clients. During the whole process, I never felt self-conscious and I'm thrilled to have found Weisner Orthodontics.
