Children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. When appropriate, early treatment helps guide jaw development and the eruption of permanent teeth.

01 / Braces
Small Adjustments.
Big Results.
Braces guide your teeth into alignment through controlled, gradual movement. We offer various types of brackets, with a treatment plan tailored to you.
Metal Braces
Stainless-steel brackets offer a durable, reliable option for children, teens, and adults. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than earlier designs.
Ceramic Braces
Clear or tooth-colored ceramic brackets blend with your teeth for a less noticeable appearance while providing precise tooth movement.
Iconix Rose-Gold Brackets
Iconix brackets offer a rose-gold finish and another esthetic option alongside ceramic braces. Dr. Rachel can help you compare the options at your consultation.
02 / Clear Aligners
A Clear Option
For Your Smile.
Angel Aligner™
Removable aligners let you straighten your teeth without metal brackets.
Dr. Rachel creates a custom treatment plan using a series of clear aligners that gradually move your teeth. Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out for meals, brushing, and flossing.
At your consultation, we’ll discuss whether clear aligners are a good fit for your needs and what your daily routine during treatment would involve.

Braces and clear aligners can address alignment and bite concerns as teens grow, improving esthetics and overall function. We’ll help your family understand the available options.
Adults
We provide personalized treatment for adults who want to address tooth alignment, bite concerns, or changes in their smile. Orthodontic treatment can improve esthetics and oral health, regardless of age.
03 / Retainers & Maintenance
Care Continues
After Treatment.
Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions.
Dr. Rachel will provide a custom retainer, instructions for wear and care, and a schedule for follow-up visits. Consistent wear is an important part of maintaining your results.
We also offer a Lifetime Retainer Program to help take the stress out of lost or damaged retainers. Contact our team to learn more.
A Closer Look.
A Clearer Plan.
Photographs, digital scans, and X-rays give a detailed view of your teeth and bite. Together with your orthodontic exam, they help Dr. Rachel create a comprehensive treatment plan unique to you or your child. Digital 3D scans are taken when needed for your care.
