Straighten Your Smile Today

Orthodontics at Our Practice

Being born with a straight smile is not really within our control—but obtaining a straight smile is. With effective orthodontic treatment, Dr. Palmer can ensure that your teeth will line up as straight as you once wished, and that the treatments only temporarily exist. While traditional methods of orthodontics use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign® does not. The flexibility that these two options offer allows us to better serve our community’s diverse age range.

The Difference Orthodontics Can Make

If you have teeth that do not properly align and you would like to have them straightened, orthodontics may be a viable option for you. This option offers braces to help straighten your teeth. In the middle of each tooth, a bracket is cemented on, and a wire connects all of the brackets. Over time, the minimal force will straighten your teeth and gently reposition them into their proper positions. The duration of your orthodontics treatment will depend on your specific needs and smile goals.

Many of our adult and teen patients opt for Invisalign, the clear alternative to traditional metal braces. We gladly offer both options!

Experience the Convenience of Invisalign®

Invisalign® also treats misaligned teeth, but in a much more discrete way. Without the use of brackets or wires, or metal at all, this option relies on clear trays to straighten your teeth. Every two weeks, your trays are replaced, and you will visit Dr. Palmer every six to eight weeks for evaluation of your progress. Invisalign® is worn day and night, and is easily removable for eating and cleaning purposes.

If you have teeth that you would like to straighten, or are concerned about the shifting movements of specific teeth, please contact our practice to schedule a consultation. After we determine your current dental needs, we will be able to better recommend a treatment plan for you.
