Comprehensive Orthodontics in Scotts Valley for Every Age and Smile

Our team provides comprehensive orthodontic services that address both the functional and esthetic aspects of your smile. We believe that orthodontic treatment should not only ensure properly aligned teeth and a correct bite but also enhance the overall appearance of your smile.

Modern Braces Treatment

No two smiles are exactly alike, which is why we offer several braces options, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, LightForce™ custom braces, and self-ligating braces. Many patients are also eligible for same-day braces starts, so you can begin treatment on the same day as your consultation.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

We offer Invisalign® clear aligners for kids, teens, and adults looking for a discreet, flexible way to straighten their smiles without using braces. Each aligner is custom-made for comfort and precision, and when possible, same-day digital scans are available during your complimentary consultation.

Early Orthodontics for Kids

Early orthodontic treatment helps guide proper jaw growth and create space for developing teeth during childhood. By monitoring and addressing concerns early, we can support healthy smile development while providing a comfortable and positive experience for young patients and parents alike.

Custom Retainers

Maintaining your results is just as important as achieving them. We offer custom Hawley, Essix, and Vivera® retainers to help keep your smile on track. From replacement retainers and repairs to ongoing support through our Retainers for Life Program, we are always here to help, even if your orthodontic treatment was completed at another practice.

Other Treatments

In addition to traditional orthodontic treatment, we offer surgical and pre-surgical orthodontic care, interdisciplinary treatment, TMJ/TMD care, and professional teeth whitening. When a more collaborative approach is needed, we work closely with your dentist, oral surgeon, periodontist, and other specialists to coordinate care and support the best possible treatment outcome.
