Services
Braces
Traditional braces correct misaligned teeth and jaws using brackets and wires. Ideal for patients of all ages, this treatment improves bite function and enhances smile aesthetics through gradual tooth movement.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Suitable for teens and adults, this option offers comfort and convenience while addressing crowding, spacing, and bite issues.
Damon Smile
Damon Smile braces use advanced self-ligating technology for faster, more comfortable treatment. This system reduces friction and appointment frequency, delivering efficient results for complex orthodontic cases.
Palatal Expander
Palatal expanders widen the upper jaw to correct bite problems and create space for crowded teeth. Most effective in younger patients, this early intervention promotes proper dental development.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through combined orthodontic and surgical treatment. This approach addresses functional issues like overbites and underbites that cannot be resolved with braces alone.

Received excellent guidance from Dr. Schultz and staff for my treatments. Did a combination of Invisalign and braces to start and then successfully finished straightening my smile with an Invisalign treatment. Highly recommended.

My daughter was one of Dr. Schulz's first pts. I have been in the dental field for over 30 years so this decision was very difficult! Especially because I had worked in the ortho field and knew what I did not want in a Orthodontic. I did not take this lightly and I am so happy that I chose to go here! Now we are back only with my grandson! Thank you Dr. Schulz's and your entire team!

Extremely friendly and fun staff to be around. Dr. Schulz not only served time in the military, but is also highly educated within the orthodontics arena. I would highly recommend this establishment to any individual looking for ortho work.

After having consultations with other orthodontists, I'm happy I chose Schulz Orthodontics for my adult braces. During my two years of treatments, I always felt cared for and treated like a friend rather than just a number walking through the door. Dr. Schulz and the staff are very friendly and kind and will always explain the process if there are questions. I am very happy with my results and will always continue to recommend Schulz Orthodontics.

All three of my kids have gone through treatment at Schultz orthodontics. My pediatric dentist recommended him and what a great recommendation that was! My children had jaw issues, sideways teeth, extreme overcrowding, and missing adult teeth. Dr Schultz thoughtfully addressed each issue and did an amazing job! I now have 3 beautiful smiles in my house. Huge thank you to Dr Schulz and his amazing staff!
