Their services include traditional metal braces, clear and ceramic braces, and clear aligner systems like Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen®.

The clinic prides itself on providing a caring, patient-centered atmosphere. They emphasize educating patients about their treatment options and other dental health issues, ensuring informed decisions. They offer flexible payment options, including accepting most dental insurances, interest-free in-office financing, and extended payment plans through CareCredit. Appointments for longer procedures like consultations or brace placements are typically scheduled earlier in the day to minimize school disruption for younger patients, while shorter adjustment visits are often available after school hours.
