TRANSPARENCY AND COMFORT ARE OUR HALLMARKS
Esthetic Smile Design
While there are many functional benefits of orthodontic treatment, we know that what you are really looking for is that amazing smile that lights up the room.
What is An Esthetic Smile Design?
Esthetic smile design is a cosmetic dental procedure that treats imperfections in your smile. Typically, these customized treatments involve using restorative treatments such as porcelain veneers, dental implants, and dental crowns to achieve this goal. However, our orthodontic practice takes a non-invasive approach to esthetic smile design by focusing on alignment, gum show, and prevention to address your oral concerns and build your dream smile.
Alignment
While it is difficult to notice from afar, your front teeth don’t just have a flat surface. They have ridges and grooves that, when properly positioned, reflect light to give you your brightest and most natural smile. We strive to make the most of your teeth’s natural anatomy, whereas other cosmetic dental procedures compromise these features.
If your teeth no longer have their natural appearance due to stain, cavities, wear, trauma, malformation, etc., it is still best to place them in the proper position over the bone prior to restorative dental procedures such as veneers, so that these procedures can be completed in the most conservative way possible. We will work with your preferred general dentist to achieve this goal.

Gum Show
Are you unhappy with the amount of gum you show while smiling? Whether it is too much or too little, the gums have a large impact on a person’s smile. Tooth position and gum position are closely related, and we have a number of means to position the teeth vertically in order to optimize your smile line.
Prevention
The best offense is a good defense. Your smile can deteriorate over time due to chipping, staining, cavities, and gum disease. Straight teeth are much easier to brush and floss, and a healthy bite helps prevent chipping of tooth edges. Therefore, an esthetic and functional smile is not just for that short term wow factor, but can also save you a lot of time and money trying to fix your smile later on.
Concerned about Esthetics During Treatment?
We know that some patients, particularly adults, are hesitant to begin their smile journey because they don’t like how traditional metal braces look. Our office offers virtually invisible Clarity Ceramic Braces and Clarity Aligners at no extra cost so that this is not a factor for you. Make sure to read about them under the “Services” tab!

- Orthodontic Therapy: Orthodontic therapy is a subset of orthodontics that focuses on tooth movement using basic orthodontic concepts. This form of therapy utilizes minimally invasive methods to provide slow, continuous pressure on the bone surface and maneuver the teeth into the correct positions through the latest advances in treatment.
- Temporary Anchorage Devices: Orthodontic therapy utilizes many options, including temporary anchorage devices. These titanium-alloy mini-screws work to move specific teeth in a predictable position. Anchoring to the bone removes the need for headgear and can move adjacent teeth without unnecessary pressure.
- Self-Ligating Braces: Self-ligating brackets and wires can speed up the tooth movement process without needing to use plastic ties and wire ligatures, providing less friction and easier to clean.
- Clarity Aligners: As a popular option when compared to traditional braces, these clear plastic aligners work to gradually move teeth into the correct position without the need for wires and brackets. They’re aesthetically pleasing and provide faster outcomes.
