Straighter, Functional teeth that fit your lifestyle.

Orthodontics and corrective treatment for your smile can happen at any age. Straightening and aligning your teeth not only results in a beautiful aesthetic, but it can also improve your bite, correct speaking or chewing challenges, promote healthier and long-lasting teeth, and even redistribute pressure in your jaw, ultimately making you more comfortable and confident throughout your day. With a variety of different teeth straightening treatments available at DDS, now is the time to create the smile you’ve always wanted!

Technology for Beautiful Results — Fast

If traditional wire-and-bracket braces are what come to mind when you think of “orthodontics” — think again. The DDS team can provide both traditional and more modern techniques to straighten and align your teeth using innovative systems that are comfortable, easy to maintain and that give you the results you want in a fraction of the time.

CEREC Primescan

Our team is the expert at using CEREC’s Primescan intraoral scanner, which allows fast, accurate, and completely painless digital impressions.

iTero 5D Scanner

This remarkable imaging system captures crisp, 3D digital impressions. The iTero 5D has direct connectivity with Invisalign, allowing us to map your bite, and create simulated treatment outcomes.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Rather than using metal wires and brackets, Invisalign creates the necessary pressure on your teeth via custom-crafted clear alignment trays. The trays are removable, comfortable and nearly invisible, making straightening your teeth your little secret.

Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is the ideal system for adults with crooked, spaced or misaligned teeth. Just as the name suggests – 6 months is all you need to create a beautiful, even smile.
