Comprehensive Orthodontic Care Tailored to Your Unique Needs
From traditional braces to Invisalign, early treatment to retention care, we offer the full range of orthodontic services backed by 16+ years of expertise and delivered with genuine warmth and personalized attention.
Our Treatment Philosophy
At Almond Orthodontics, we believe every smile is unique—and your orthodontic treatment should be too. That’s why we take time to thoroughly understand your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle before recommending any treatment. Whether you’re a parent seeking care for your child, an adult ready to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, or someone with complex orthodontic needs, we have the expertise and technology to deliver exceptional results.
Our comprehensive approach combines state-of-the-art technology with time-tested techniques, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment available. But technology alone doesn’t create beautiful smiles—that requires the careful attention, clinical expertise, and genuine care our experienced team brings to every patient, every day.
Traditional Braces
The Time-Tested Path to Beautiful Smiles
Traditional braces remain one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic treatments available. Using a system of brackets and wires that are gently adjusted over time, braces can address everything from minor crowding to complex bite issues with predictable, outstanding results.
Today’s braces are more comfortable, less noticeable, and more effective than ever before. We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques that reduce treatment time and discomfort while delivering the precise results you deserve.
Traditional Braces Are Ideal For:
Patients of all ages seeking comprehensive orthodontic correction
Complex cases requiring precise tooth movement and rotation
Correcting bite issues and jaw alignment
Patients who want proven, reliable results
What to Expect:
We’ll carefully place brackets on your teeth and connect them with a wire that applies gentle, consistent pressure. You’ll visit us regularly (usually every 4-8 weeks) for adjustments as your teeth gradually move into their ideal positions. Throughout treatment, our team will provide guidance on care, answer questions, and monitor your progress closely.
Invisalign Treatment
Discreet, Comfortable, and Effective for Teens and Adults
As one of the top Invisalign providers in the region, we have extensive experience creating beautiful smiles with this innovative clear aligner system. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually straighten your teeth—no brackets, no wires, just a comfortable, virtually invisible treatment that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Invisalign is particularly popular with adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the appearance of traditional braces. You can remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss normally, making it easier to maintain your oral health throughout treatment.
Why Choose Invisalign at Almond Orthodontics:
Expertise from a top regional provider with hundreds of successful cases
Advanced 3D technology for precise treatment planning
Personalized care from doctors who understand the art and science of clear aligner treatment
Discreet appearance perfect for professional and social situations
Removable aligners for easier eating and hygiene
Ideal Candidates:
Invisalign can treat many orthodontic issues, from mild crowding to more complex cases. During your consultation, we’ll determine if Invisalign is right for you and create a personalized treatment plan showing your projected results.
Early Treatment (For Children)
Setting the Foundation for a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. While this doesn’t mean all children need treatment at this age, early evaluation allows us to identify potential issues and determine the optimal time to begin treatment if needed.
Early orthodontic treatment (sometimes called Phase 1 treatment) can address developing problems while a child is still growing, often making later treatment shorter, simpler, or even unnecessary. We take a conservative, family-centered approach to early treatment, recommending it only when the benefits significantly outweigh simply waiting and monitoring development.
Early Treatment Can Help With:
Guiding jaw growth and development
Creating space for incoming permanent teeth
Correcting harmful habits that affect dental development
Improving breathing and airway function
Reducing risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
Building confidence during crucial developmental years
Our Approach:
We monitor each child’s development carefully and discuss treatment timing openly with parents. If we recommend early treatment, we’ll explain exactly what it will accomplish, how long it will take, and why it’s beneficial for your child’s specific situation.
Specialized Care
Expertise for Complex Cases and Special Needs Patients
Some patients require extra care, additional time, or specialized techniques—and that’s where our extensive experience really shines. We’re proud to serve patients with complex orthodontic needs and those requiring special accommodations, providing the same warmth, professionalism, and excellent results we offer all our patients.
Complex Orthodontic Cases:
We have significant experience treating challenging cases that may involve:
Severe crowding or spacing issues
Significant bite problems (underbites, overbites, crossbites)
Surgical orthodontics coordination
Treatment following trauma or dental restoration
Adult patients with previous orthodontic treatment
Patients with missing teeth or unique dental anatomy
Special Needs Care:
We’re honored to provide compassionate, patient orthodontic care for individuals with special needs. Our team takes extra time, uses adapted techniques, and works closely with families to ensure a positive, successful treatment experience. We believe everyone deserves access to quality orthodontic care, and we’re committed to providing it with understanding and respect.
Retention &
Post-Treatment Care
Protecting Your Investment in Your Beautiful Smile
Completing orthodontic treatment is exciting—but your journey doesn’t end when the braces come off! Retention is a crucial phase that ensures your teeth stay in their beautiful new positions for life.
After your active treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with retainers designed to maintain your results. We offer both removable and fixed retainer options, and we’ll help you choose the best approach for your lifestyle and needs.
Why Retention Matters:
Your teeth have a natural tendency to shift over time, especially in the months immediately after treatment. Wearing your retainers as directed is essential for preserving the beautiful smile you’ve worked hard to achieve.
What We Provide:
Custom retainers designed for comfort and effectiveness
Clear instructions on wear schedule and care
Regular retention check-ups to monitor stability
Replacement retainers if needed
Long-term support to keep your smile beautiful for life
