AlignORTHODONTICS
Treatments

Care for every stage of the smile.

Orthodontic needs change with age, and so does the right approach. From a child’s first evaluation to adult clear aligners to lifetime retention, we tailor treatment to the person sitting in the chair — and the life they go home to.

Care across life stages

How orthodontic needs change.

Every age has its own orthodontic priorities. We meet patients where they are — whether that’s a quick first screening for a seven-year-old or a long-overdue Invisalign plan for a busy parent.

Ages 7–11

Phase I — early evaluation

An early visit catches issues while the jaw is still growing. Most kids won't need treatment yet — but a screening lets us catch crossbites, severe crowding, or growth concerns when they're easiest to address.

  • First evaluation by age 7
  • Often shorter (or no) full treatment later
  • Growth-guided
Ages 12–17

Teen comprehensive

Modern brackets and clear aligners for teens with their permanent teeth. We work around school, sports, and instruments — and we explain everything to your teen, not over their head to you.

  • Braces or Invisalign Teen
  • Mouthguards for sports
  • Most cases finish in 12–24 months
18+ — Adults

Adult treatment

It's never too late. About 1 in 3 of our patients started after 30. Discreet options — clear aligners or smaller bracket systems — let you straighten your teeth around real life.

  • Invisalign-first plans
  • Off-hour appointments
  • Flexible monthly payments
Lifetime

Retention & long-term care

Teeth want to shift. We design a retention plan tailored to your case — clear retainers, fixed wires, or both — and we schedule the periodic check-ins that keep your investment intact.

  • Custom retainer fitting
  • Periodic check-ins
  • Replacement when needed
Treatments we offer

The full spectrum, in one practice.

Whatever path makes sense for you — fixed braces, clear aligners, or interceptive care — we’ve got it under one roof, across four offices.

Children & Teens

  • Guides healthy jaw growth
  • Reduces or simplifies later treatment
  • Catches issues early, when they’re easiest to fix
  • Often a screening only — no treatment needed yet
