Traditional braces correct dental misalignments using brackets and wires. Ideal for patients of all ages, this treatment improves bite function and enhances smile aesthetics. Our team ensures personalized adjustments for optimal results.

Questions
Why see an orthodontist?
Orthodontists specialize in correcting misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both smile aesthetics and oral health. Proper alignment prevents cavities, gum disease, and chewing difficulties.
Do braces hurt?
Initial discomfort lasts 2-4 days, with mild soreness after adjustments. Soft foods and pain relievers help manage symptoms. Lips and cheeks adapt within a week.
At what age should orthodontic treatment start?
Children should see an orthodontist by age 7 for early issues. Most treatments begin between 10-13, but adults can also benefit from orthodontic care.

We provide braces, Invisalign, retainers, emergency care, and consultations. Treatments cater to children, teens, and adults seeking improved dental alignment.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Steiman and his staff! I was nervous about getting braces as an adult, but having just got them off I can confidently say it was the best decision! Thanks Dr. S I cant stop smiling! And extra thanks goes to Denise the hygienist for going above and beyond at my appointments!

It has been an incredible Journey! As someone who got their braces in their late 40's, I would like to share my experience:
Aside from having crooked teeth, I also had a severe overbite where my front teeth would stick out, even when my mouth was closed. My parents couldn't afford to get me braces when i was younger, too expensive. Once i was older i decided to look into braces as my dentists had always been recommending it for the future health of my teeth, and also because i would at times feel discomfort when i slept as my bottom front teeth would cut into my upper gums due to the overbite

Dr. Steinman and his team were excellent! Steinman Smiles recently helped me align my teeth over the last two years and I could not be happier with the results. If you are seeking a professional orthodontist team that looks out for your best interests with attention to detail then Steinman Smiles is the place to go. Highly recommended. Thank you!
Cheers,

No smiles here...I am truly upset, disturbed and disgusted with this orthodontist Dr. Steiman along with his money making business and scam. It was our first appointment to meet with an orthodontist, and we were new to understanding the procedures and cost associated with getting braces for our daughter. I also shared my concern about wanting to find a safe and honest place for our daughter to feel comfortable. NOT AT ALL -- not even close!!! Dr. Steiman was all smiles, performed the check up, made small talk with our daughter, and seemed pleasant enough, then told us to start right away because

Dr. Steiman and his work family are all so wonderful and very knowledgeable. My daughter and husband had ortho treatment done with Dr. Steiman as well as my extended family. Now, he will be treating my son for his ortho treatment. Dr. Steiman and his work family have always made us feel comfortable and there is no other place I would rather take my family than Dr. Steiman. If I could give a 10 star I most definitely would! Thank you all so much! Looking forward to seeing my sons end result!
