Plan Your Perfect Smile With Advanced Technology

Your orthodontic treatment begins with a thorough evaluation and digital imaging to understand your needs. Our iTero Element 5D scanner creates precise 3-D models of your teeth. This allows your dentist to see every detail from multiple angles, and no messy impressions are needed.

This technology also helps us predict how your teeth will move and lets you preview your future smile before treatment even begins. By combining this with other diagnostic technology, we create a plan that's customized for your bite and facial structure.

Exact planning ensures that your orthodontic journey is efficient, comfortable, and tailored to your goals from start to finish.

Choose the Right Orthodontic Treatment for Your Needs

We offer several orthodontic solutions to fit your goals, timeline, and lifestyle. Each treatment is planned with precision to create a straighter, healthier smile while keeping comfort and convenience in mind.

  • Short-Term Orthodontics - Designed to improve the appearance of your smile quickly, Six Month Smiles Clear Braces use tooth-colored brackets and wires for a discreet look. They focus on the teeth most visible when you smile, allowing for effective alignment in a shorter time frame.

  • Clear Aligners - Clear, removable aligners will straighten your teeth without metal brackets. Invisalign offers comprehensive alignment for your entire smile, while Six Month Smiles Invisible Aligners focus on quick cosmetic improvements to the front teeth. Both options are custom-made for comfort and convenience.

  • Space Maintainers - These custom devices hold space for adult teeth after early tooth loss, preventing unwanted shifting and helping ensure proper alignment as your child's smile develops.

With advanced technology and tailored care, we match each patient to the option that best meets their needs for both function and esthetics.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics

How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time depends on your goals and case complexity. Some cosmetic improvements can be completed in as little as six months, while comprehensive bite correction may take one to two years. We design a personalized plan to achieve results efficiently while maintaining your comfort.
Is orthodontic treatment only for cosmetic purposes?
No. While orthodontics can greatly enhance your smile’s appearance, it also improves bite alignment, reduces strain on your jaw, and lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which helps maintain oral health long-term and prevents more serious dental problems from developing.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Orthodontics can be effective at any age, as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. Many adults choose treatment to improve their smile, correct bite problems, or address shifting teeth. We offer discreet and comfortable options suitable for both adult and teen patients.
