Services
Early Orthodontics
Early Orthodontics focuses on preventive and interceptive treatment for children aged 7 and older. By addressing jaw discrepancies and tooth irregularities early, we reduce future complexity. Our approach emphasizes growth guidance to ensure proper development and minimize the need for extractions or surgery later.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ Treatment addresses jaw joint disorders through personalized orthodontic care and muscle exercises. We alleviate symptoms like headaches, facial pain, and clicking by correcting jaw alignment and improving occlusion. Our methods combine functional and aesthetic considerations for lasting relief.
Sleep Apnea Appliances
Sleep Apnea Appliances are custom oral devices that reposition the jaw to keep airways open during sleep. These portable, non-invasive solutions improve breathing and sleep quality for patients with obstructive sleep apnea, offering an alternative to CPAP machines.
Lingual Braces
Lingual Braces provide discreet orthodontic treatment by placing brackets behind the teeth. Ideal for adults and professionals, this technique corrects bite issues and alignment without visible hardware, ensuring aesthetic confidence throughout the treatment process.
Sports Guards
Sports Guards are custom-fitted appliances designed to protect teeth and jaws during athletic activities. Tailored to individual mouth structures, they prevent injuries from impacts, ensuring safety for patients of all ages engaged in contact or high-risk sports.

I started my treatment late after my daughter finished her treatment with Dr. Minnah and Dr. Korn. I had a tooth behind a tooth. It took many months for my treatment. Whenever I had soreness, her staff was there for me. Dr. Minnah and her entire staff were kind to me. There is no word to say thank you enough for their dedication during pandemic.

I'm a long time patient at Minnah & Korn Orthodontics and cannot recommend their services enough. My braces were taken off in 2012, but the continual care that comes with maintaining my bite have been superb. The staff is warm and friendly and always looking to address concerns.
