Braces
Traditional metal braces provide effective tooth alignment using brackets and wires. Our practice offers modern ceramic and self-ligating options that reduce friction and treatment time while maintaining durability. Each treatment plan includes regular adjustments and comprehensive care instructions to ensure optimal results throughout the orthodontic process.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces. These removable trays gradually shift teeth into proper position while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment includes periodic check-ups and new aligner sets every 1-2 weeks to track progress and maintain effectiveness.
Palatal Expanders
This orthodontic appliance creates additional space in growing children's mouths by gradually widening the upper jaw. Treatment typically lasts 3-6 months with regular activation adjustments followed by a stabilization period. Early intervention helps prevent more complex dental issues in later years.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers maintain teeth alignment after active orthodontic treatment. We provide both removable and fixed options with personalized wear schedules to ensure long-term stability. Proper retainer use prevents relapse and preserves the results of your orthodontic investment.
Emergency Care
We address urgent orthodontic issues like broken wires, loose brackets, or mouth irritation outside regular appointments. Our team provides immediate guidance and temporary solutions while scheduling priority repair visits to minimize discomfort and treatment disruption.

Dr. Smith and his staff are all EXCELLENT! I can honestly say everyone is so friendly and happy! It's obvious the staff enjoy working for Dr. Smith. All 3 of my children have had braces and they have beautiful smiles!! People often comment on their perfect teeth and I give Dr. Smith all the credit. He goes above and beyond and wants the best for his patients.

I went to this place as a kid, he did a good job of straightening my teeth so I can't complain too much but he loses a star over the terrible recommendation of a permanent bar on the back of my teeth after my treatment was done. I had constant issues with cleaning around the bar like most people do and it didn't take long to start jeopardizing my oral health so I immediately went against his awful advice and had it torn off. I had a removable retainer created instead which despite what he told me, has kept my teeth straight just fine over the many year's since my experience here and I don't even

My son had a consultation with Dr Drew Smith today and we were so impressed! He and his staff were friendly and kind. We did not feel rushed - Dr. Smith took the time to explain everything in detail. He is amazing with kids and made my son feel at ease during his first appointment.
