Orthodontic treatment options for all ages and stages of life

Modern orthodontics has moved well beyond the dreaded “metal mouth” stage of our teenage years. Now people of all life stages are taking advantage of modern treatment options, including totally custom 3D printed LightForce braces, transparent 3M™ Clarity aligners, and advanced 3D imaging for all digital treatment planning.

Early Treatment and Intervention

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic exam at age 7 when their first adult teeth (secondary teeth) begin to appear.
