That’s where Olive Orthodontics comes in.

At Olive Orthodontics, we offer a variety of orthodontic services to treat your unique needs and ensure your overall oral health.

Our friendly and professional staff is trained in orthodontics for children, teenagers and adults. We’re here to help you and your family enjoy a lifetime of beautiful smiles.

Traditional Braces

This is the most common treatment method for straightening crooked or crowded teeth. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gently shift your teeth into the desired alignment over time. While traditional braces are the most noticeable treatment option, they are typically less expensive than clear aligner therapy.

In-house Clear Aligners

If you’re looking for a more discreet alternative to traditional braces, clear aligners are a popular option. Clear aligner therapy uses transparent plastic trays to move your teeth into a healthier alignment without the brackets or wires. Our office offers both Invisalign brand clear aligners and our in-house clear aligners.

Surgical Orthodontics

Depending on your dental history, sometimes braces aren’t enough to give you a healthier smile. A severely misaligned bite may make it difficult to chew, speak, and even breathe comfortably. If you suffer from a misaligned bite and jaws, our dentist may recommend surgical orthodontics. We’ll coordinate with your general dentist and oral surgeon to develop a personalized treatment plan for your unique needs and concerns.

Interceptive Early Treatment

Early diagnosis and treatment of orthodontic problems is the best way to ensure the health of your child’s smile. If your child has crooked or crowded teeth, early or delayed loss of baby teeth, speech difficulties, misaligned jaws, or other oral problems, we can help. Any issues with your child's dental development will not only affect their smile but also how they chew and clean their teeth. At Olive Orthodontics, we specialize in interceptive treatment.

Dentofacial Orthopedics

When considering early orthodontic treatment for children, we may also recommend orthopedic treatment before braces. With dental orthopedics, we use specialized appliances to guide the growth and development of facial bone throughout childhood. Braces may also be used alongside these appliances to manage tooth movement, addressing any facial bone or dental problems.

Accelerated Orthodontic Treatment

While treatment periods vary by case, most patients can expect to wear braces or clear aligners for about two years. At Olive Orthodontics, we understand this lengthy treatment period can cause some people to avoid seeking necessary treatment. Fortunately, if you don't want to wait for two years to straighten your teeth and improve your smile, we may be able to offer you accelerated orthodontic treatment.

Depending on your needs, we offer micro-osteoperforation (MOP) technology and periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) to speed up the movement of teeth. These treatments will soften the tissues around your jaw to help your teeth move more easily while wearing braces. Accelerated orthodontic treatments are minimally invasive and may shorten your treatment period by up to 50%. Schedule a consultation to learn more.

Orthodontic Emergencies

As with any dental treatment, sometimes problems arise. If a bracket falls off your tooth, a wire comes loose or you experience any sudden pain, call our office to make an emergency appointment. We have extended hours and flexible scheduling options to see you as soon as possible.

What are the benefits of orthodontic treatment?

A straight smile is essential to having a confident appearance, but it can also help you maintain a comfortable and healthy oral function. Our office can treat a wide range of tooth and jaw issues. Early and interceptive treatment can be highly beneficial for children and teenagers. Ensuring they have good oral health early in life can avoid costly and painful problems later on.

When is the best time to receive orthodontic treatment?

While most people think braces are just for children and teenagers, you can enjoy the benefits of orthodontic care at any age. We offer orthodontic services for children, teenagers and adults with personalized treatment plans to meet their individual needs. Let our experienced staff at Olive Orthodontics help you and your family maintain healthy, beautiful smiles!
