About Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics
Invisalign and clear aligner cases, plus expanders for younger kids, make up much of the work here, with the orthodontist handling even complex surgical cases across two office locations.
The orthodontist is often mentioned for taking on complicated cases, including combining Invisalign with jaw surgery for an underbite, and for remembering patients years after treatment ends. Reviews frequently note straight, well-aligned results, from Invisalign smiles to braces-and-expander outcomes for children. The practice runs two locations, which several families mention as a convenience, and staff are noted for keeping young kids engaged during expander fittings and other procedures that can otherwise cause anxiety.

I couldn’t be happier with the service we Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics! Everybody was always incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the whole process for my daughters Invisalign. If I had to go through the process all over again, I would definitely choose them and will do so for my kids that need orthodontic work in the future.
