Braces - Orthodontics

In addition to providing a better-looking smile, braces also improve your overall oral health!

Braces and your health

Braces help preserve the overall health of your mouth. Straight teeth and an aligned bite are easier to keep clean and healthy. We often see adult patients who didn’t get braces as children who now show signs of undue wear and tear on teeth because of misaligned teeth. Later in life this can require crowns or other types of dental restoration.

Types of braces

Traditional orthodontic braces have come a long way over the years. They’re sleeker, smaller, and more comfortable than ever. We offer two types of dental braces for kids, teens, and adults. Your orthodontist will help you determine which ones will serve you best:

Metal braces
Ceramic braces

Getting started

You’re welcome to visit one of our orthodontists for a free consultation to discuss if braces are right for you or your child. We’re happy to evaluate your needs free of charge, and we will answer any questions you may have on the methods we use to straighten teeth. If you do need orthodontic braces, we offer options for you to choose from—and will provide timelines and cost estimates for each.

I've always hated going to the dentist but not anymore!

Katie K. Patient

You have been wonderful for my whole family, including both my kids and especially my mom. Thank you!

Julie M. Patient

I've been a patient since Dr. Giswold was on his own, and at three different offices, because of my moves around the city. I have been extremely pleased with everyone I've dealt with in the more than 30 years involved.

Darlene H. Patient

Everyone has always been extremely helpful and flexible with me and my crazy schedule.

As a brand new patient everything went very well and I was extremely satisfied!

This place is 100x better than any other dentist I've been to and I thought I had a good dentist already. I appreciate the care you provide me and my family.

Nadia F. Patient

I've had WONDERFUL experiences with y'all (and considering the number of fillings I had when I first came, that's saying something!!).
