Services
Braces
We provide comprehensive braces treatment for patients of all ages, including metal braces, ceramic braces, and Damon self-ligating braces. Our orthodontists create personalized treatment plans to straighten teeth, correct bites, and enhance smiles. The treatment combines clinical expertise with advanced technology for optimal results.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign treatment offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made clear aligners. This treatment gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. We utilize iTero digital scanning technology for precise treatment planning and fabrication of aligners.
Jaw Surgery
We offer surgical orthodontics to correct significant jaw misalignment issues. This comprehensive treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontic preparation with post-surgical alignment adjustments. Our specialists coordinate care with oral surgeons to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes for complex bite problems.
Early Treatment
Our early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-10. This phase focuses on creating proper space for permanent teeth and correcting jaw growth discrepancies. Treatment may include palatal expanders, partial braces, or other orthopedic appliances to guide facial development.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
We specialize in guiding facial growth and jaw development through dentofacial orthopedics. This treatment addresses skeletal discrepancies using functional appliances that influence bone growth patterns. It's particularly effective during childhood growth spurts to create optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption and future orthodontic treatment.

I had the most amazing and supportive experience at Hucal and Edward's! Dr. Edward's supported my journey that included orthodontic correction as well as prep for jaw surgery and implants. His support and coordination of multiple procedures with multiple doctors was stellar. This was a long term venture and with Dr. Edwards support, skill and knowledge it was an extremely positive and rewarding one. Dr.Edward's was always thorough in his explanation of my choices and he would always ensure that I was comfortable with the direction of my treatment plan. I would highly recommend accessing Hucal and

We have only been for an initial consult and follow up, moving into treatment phase soon. They have been so kind, both front desk staff and Dr Edwards. Having a lot of ortho experience myself, as a child, I HATED going to my appointments. Hated my orthodontist. This office is so welcoming, and warm. They provide you all the information you need, and answer all your questions. Top notch!
