Services
Mini-Twin Braces
Traditional metal braces offer reliable tooth movement through stainless steel brackets and wires. Ideal for complex cases requiring precise alignment adjustments. Our miniature twin design provides enhanced comfort while maintaining treatment efficiency. Patients benefit from predictable results and the lowest cost option for comprehensive orthodontic correction.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-colored ceramic brackets blend naturally with enamel for discreet orthodontic treatment. Recommended for teens and adults seeking aesthetic improvement without compromising effectiveness. Slightly larger than metal braces but offer superior visual appeal while achieving equivalent treatment outcomes through advanced material technology.
Invisalign
Custom-fitted plastic trays correct misaligned teeth without brackets or wires. Best suited for mild to moderate crowding cases in teens and adults. Patients appreciate the removable design for eating and cleaning, with treatment typically lasting 12-18 months using digital treatment planning software for precise tooth movement.
Early Treatment
Interceptive orthodontics addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-10 using palatal expanders and functional appliances. Corrects crossbites, overbites, and arch development before adult teeth erupt. Prevents future extractions through strategic jaw growth modification and space maintenance for optimal permanent tooth eruption patterns.
Orthognathic Surgery
Combined orthodontic and surgical correction for severe skeletal discrepancies. Treats functional issues like difficulty chewing or breathing while improving facial symmetry. Requires coordinated care between orthodontist and oral surgeon with pre- and post-surgical braces to achieve proper occlusion and airway function.

Dr. Perce and his staff go above and beyond expectations. We experienced unforeseen delays in the final steps of my daughter's implant and veneer process leaving Dr. Perce one day to do his part. Julie fit us in and the whole team worked together in getting my daughter's retainer made and fitted a day prior to her going to college. Throughout her entire ortho treatment, they were always flexible, professional, and cheerful with great results.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Everything is wonderful Dr Perce, the staff, the office, the results. Saw them for almost two years and they went above and beyond every time they even delivered my retainer to my house because they didn't want me to go without it for an extended amount of time. They're always so friendly and I'm just a little bummed that my braces are off and I won't be going as much.
