Services
Orthodontic Treatment
Customized orthodontic care addresses misaligned teeth and bite issues using traditional braces or advanced systems. Our treatments improve oral health, enhance aesthetics, and boost confidence through personalized plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. This technology provides a comfortable, nearly invisible solution for achieving optimal dental alignment and bite functionality for teens and adults.
Damon System
The Damon system uses friction-free brackets and advanced archwires for faster, more comfortable tooth movement. This technology reduces treatment time while delivering precise results through innovative, low-force orthodontic mechanics.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged 7-10 corrects developing bite issues and creates space for permanent teeth. This proactive approach prevents complex problems and simplifies future orthodontic treatment when needed.
Retention
Retention solutions maintain your new smile after orthodontic treatment. We provide customized retainers and follow-up care to ensure long-term stability, preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

I want to thank Dr Popowich and all the support staff for their incredible experience they gave me. I went into have my teeth straightened at 55, I wish I would have done this 20 years earlier. My teeth had always been crowded with some interesting twists. . What was explained to me and the results that came with it is simply amazing Im so proud of the perfectly aligned set I have now, I try to show everyone...I would highly recommend Invisalign under the guidance of the Popowich Team to anyone that is a little unhappy about their smile ... this really works well....

Dr. Popowich and his incredible team changed my life. After living many years with a less than perfect smile after a car accident left my jaw joints, bite, and teeth misaligned, I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing that could be done. I was told by several dentists, orthodontists, and specialists that nothing could be done to change the outcome of my bite/teeth/jaw/smile/pain with eating and chewing. That was until a family member connected me with Dr. Popowich and he told me he would do his very best to help enhance my teeth/bite. Fast forward two and a half years and I have a

My daughters have both been seeing Dr. P over the past year and it's been a great experience! He is very knowledgeable and so easy to talk to. We are already seeing great results and they are only halfway through treatment. The staff are all wonderful, they are always happy to help with anything we need. They are also amazing at remembering names, all the patients they have and they always remember my girls names! I would highly recommend Dr.Popowich!

If youre looking for attention to the smallest detail for a perfect smile I highly recommend Popowich Orthodontics... all three of my kids have had their teeth done here ( 1 child with special needs!) and everything was taken into account... gum health, bone health, movement options, palate and jaw position. Super down to earth and friendly long term staff available to help with any questions I had.

I needed my bottom permanent retainer fixed and I stopped by to get some information about cost and book an appointment. Dr. Popowich helped me right away even though it probably wasnt the most convenient time when I showed up. He could have told me to book an appointment and I wouldve understood. I have never felt like just a customer while dealing with anyone that works at his office, I will only recommend Dr. Popowich to anyone who needs any orthodontic work done.
