Services
Braces
Modern metal and ceramic braces correct misaligned teeth and jaws using advanced materials for improved comfort and aesthetics. Our customized treatment plans address overcrowding, spacing, and bite issues for lasting oral health. Patients receive detailed guidance on care and adjustments throughout the process.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. We create personalized digital treatment plans with periodic aligner changes to gradually achieve optimal alignment without traditional brackets or wires.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. We offer fixed and removable options with precise fitting to ensure long-term stability of your corrected smile.
Appliances
Specialized appliances address jaw development, spacing, and bite correction in growing patients. Our team designs functional appliances to guide proper dental alignment and facial growth.
Multidisciplinary Treatments
We coordinate with dental specialists for comprehensive solutions involving orthodontics, restorative work, or surgical interventions to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Dr. Hicks is an excellent orthodontist. He is highly skilled and professional, as is his staff. Very interpersonal with kids and adults. He communicates well. I appreciate that he takes time to explain the process and what needs to be done. I had braces as a kid (not through Dr. Hicks) and while the results were good I didn't continue to wear my retainer so eventually my teeth shifted. At the recommendation of Dr. Hicks I had invisalign as an adult and my teeth look great again. I will definitely continue to wear my retainer this time! Dr. Hicks has his patients best interest at heart and helps

Wonderful orthodontist, however one of his assistants is awful! Ellen does NOT put on her mask and breathes on all her clients. it's disgusting. she's not careful with her hands or her fingers, pinching, grabbing, being forceful when tilting someone's head up. her fingernails are dangerous! digging into the gums so hard they start to bleed! please talk to her, I'd hate to have to!
