Services
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Our early intervention program addresses bite problems and developmental issues in children aged 7-10. Using specialized appliances, we correct crossbites, crowding, and jaw discrepancies before permanent teeth erupt. This proactive approach creates optimal conditions for adult teeth to emerge properly, potentially reducing future treatment complexity and duration.
Aesthetic Braces
Clarity ceramic braces and ClearCorrect aligners offer discreet alternatives to traditional metal braces. Our transparent treatment options maintain effectiveness while blending naturally with teeth, making them ideal for teens and adults seeking subtle smile transformation without compromising treatment outcomes or comfort.
Facial Rejuvenation
Botox and dermal filler treatments address facial pain from TMJ disorders while improving aesthetic appearance. This dual-purpose service reduces tension headaches, alleviates jaw pain, and smooths facial lines through targeted injections administered by our trained specialists in a comfortable clinical setting.
Comprehensive Orthodontics
Phase II treatment for adolescents and adults completes the smile transformation process. Using advanced bracket systems and customized archwires, we achieve precise tooth positioning for optimal function and aesthetics. Our comprehensive approach ensures lasting results through proper retention protocols and follow-up care.
Community Oral Health
Our complimentary school outreach program educates children about proper oral hygiene, braces care, and injury prevention. Through interactive demonstrations and age-appropriate materials, we teach brushing techniques, flossing methods, and the importance of maintaining dental health during orthodontic treatment.

Parents I would HIGHLY recommend you to go somewhere else! Worst experience EVER! I spent 7 YEARS in braces, and had two oral/maxillofacial surgeries that could have been avoided due to there poor and careless decisions. He definitely effected my life in a negative way making the young child I was very self conscious of my smile. I chose a different doctor to go to after 5 years with ELD, and started completely over due to many made-up inventions in my mouth from Eric Dellinger. Best decision of my life to switch!
