Services
Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontics focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws for improved function and aesthetics. We offer discreet options like Invisalign and ceramic braces tailored to adult lifestyles. Our treatments address issues such as crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities while prioritizing comfort and efficiency.
Early Intervention
Early intervention orthodontics evaluates children around age 7 to address developmental issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw discrepancies. Timely treatment guides proper tooth eruption and jaw growth, reducing future complexity while creating space for permanent teeth.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe skeletal discrepancies affecting bite and facial aesthetics. We collaborate with oral surgeons to realign jaws, resolving issues like sleep apnea, difficulty chewing, and facial imbalances through coordinated pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our certified providers create customized treatment plans using 3D imaging to gradually shift teeth into optimal positions, offering a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. We provide clear retainers and detailed care instructions to ensure long-term stability. Proper retention prevents relapse, preserving your investment in a straight, functional smile through lifelong maintenance guidance.

Report
About a year ago I was recommended to Dr. Doppel by my dentist. I was on a tight timeframe because I was not expecting to get news that I needed an orthodontist. Her office stayed open late to accommodate me for a consultation before my flight home and was even able to get braces on me that week to start my care early. I was originally told I would need jaw surgery to fix my smile but when I told Dr Doppel I was not entirely comfortable with that, she did everything she could to align my teeth without surgery. Today marks 10 months since I got my braces on and they are already off!!
