Braces
As technology evolves, we deliver leaner and less noticeable ways to provide orthodontic treatment. Whether you want clear braces that mimic the color of your natural teeth, or vibrant colors to express you personality, you can easily personalize your braces experience.
Same Day Braces
We love how excited our patients are when they make the journey into orthodontics, for this reason we offer same day braces! There is no need to wait for a later appointment when you can leave the office one step closer to your dream smile after your initial consultation.
Various Appliances
Elastics
Elastics improve the bite of your upper and lower teeth. Always ensure to wear the elastics as prescribed to ensure effective and timely treatment.
Spacers
Spacers are little rubber bands that are placed between your teeth to make room for orthodontic bands. These are only worn for a short period of time, and will be removed before the orthodontic bands are placed.
Herbst
Herbst appliances are used to correct overbites. This appliance encourages the lower jaw to move forward, while the upper molars move backward. This fixed appliance is used mostly for younger, growing children and is worn for about 12-15 months.
Palate Expander
The palatal expander works to widen your upper jaw by putting gentle pressure on your upper molars each time an adjustment is made. Your orthodontist will instruct you about when and how to adjust your expander to achieve the desired result.
Retainers
Retainers may be removable or fixed. Wearing your retainer is vital to ensuring your teeth hold their new, correct position. Your orthodontist will instruct you on how to care for your retainer and about the duration of the wear.

There is no “one size fits all” treatment time for everyone. This is not only because we take a personalized approach, but because some cases are more complex than others. One average, Invisalign treatment can take 12-18 months. This is a good option for those with a busy schedule because you only need an office visit every 8-12 weeks. Traditional Braces typically entail longer treatment time. On average, braces treatment lasts 20-24 months and requires an office visit every 4 weeks. For those of you looking for a quick cosmetic treatment, our proprietary Xpress Aligners are the fastest treatment option. Our Xpress Aligners will only require 2-3 office visits and treatment time will range from 3-6 months.
With whatever option you choose, keep in mind that we have advanced technology in place to cut your treatment time in half. We make this an option for all of our patients. For those of you looking to achieve your smile in time for a special day, this is the perfect option!

Retainer Program
Retainer Program
With our retainer program, you are ensuring your smile for a lifetime. Break a retainer? Lose one? – We’ve got you covered. Our retainer program lasts for 6 years after you enroll. Within those 6 years, you can receive up to 4 replacement retainers at no additional cost to you! This program is especially beneficial for those going into high school, college, or those who have busy careers. Accidents happen – let’s make sure you’re covered.
Ensuring your smile for a lifetime requires a strong commitment to long-term retention. If you do not wear your retainers, your teeth will continue to shift throughout your life. Retainers eventually age and lose their effectiveness or break. They may also be lost or damaged due to neglect. To provide peace of mind and help protect your investment, we offer our patients several retainer options.
There are three main types of retainers most commonly used. It is important to understand that none of these retainers are meant to last a lifetime. With regular wear, they will become less effective or break. This usually occurs within one to three years on average. For the best protection of your smile, you will need to have them replaced periodically.
ESSIX
Essix is a clear, snap-on option which fit beautifully on your teeth and is considered the best option for retaining a beautiful smile. As a result, Essix is the only retainer product we offer in the Retainer Program.
Eventually, the plastic will become dull and may even crack, thereby losing some of their effectiveness. Typically lasting 1-3 years, these can be damaged by normal wear and tear, patient handling, night-time grinding, etc.
Vivera Retainer from Invisalign
The Vivera Retainer is a product from Invisalign that is designed to retain teeth which have been aligned by your orthodontist. Regardless if you had braces, Invisalign or a specialty aligner, Vivera is built to keep your smile straight for a long time. It's a clear removable retainer that is thicker and tougher than the typical Invisalign aligner.
Bonded
These retainers are made by disguising a wire along the back of your teeth, to bond them in place. These retainers secure the teeth wonderfully but require more daily maintenance as they are difficult to clean. We recommend bonded retainers due to their effectiveness, but only for as long as the patient can maintain proper care and cleanliness.
Hawley
Constructed as a metal wire which wraps around the front six teeth, these are one of the most recognized retainers. Hawley retainers do not secure all of the teeth, are less aesthetically pleasing and unsustainable for your smile.
FAQs
Why Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is more than just dentistry, your teeth are functional.
Orthodontic treatment not only helps the beautification of your smile but can prevent serious oral health problems. With orthodontics, brushing and flossing can become easier, you can speak and chew better, and your overall confidence will skyrocket!
Why choose us?
Most people don't realize how much orthodontic treatment has changed. Our offices are technology driven. Our doctors strive to continue education so that their practices and skills are top notch and modern. We understand the importance of advanced, accelerated treatment that artistically fits you and your unique needs.
When should I get Braces?
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children see an orthodontist for an evaluation by age seven. As the jaw is developing and we lose baby teeth, it is important to ensure enough space for the permanent teeth to erupt correctly. Early evaluation to monitor skeletal growth could mean less invasive treatment in your teen and adult years. At All Smiles, we offer a 7 & Up program complementary to you!
Am I too old for braces?
No! Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial at any age. This is because orthodontics not only corrects your smile but enhances your bite and breathing.
How long do I have to wear braces?
Treatment time varies by patient. Depending on the simplicity or severity of the case, treatment can be anywhere from months to a couple of years. By listening to your doctor and following instructions, you can ensure that you complete treatment by or BEFORE your projected completion date!
Are Braces Expensive?
We believe in making treatment affordable for everyone. Orthodontic treatment should not be based on cost alone, so we do everything we can to work with your budget. We maximize your insurance benefits so that you can get the best rate possible, including options such as in-house financing and third-party financing.
How do I brush with Braces?
While brushing and flossing can be tricky with braces, you will become a pro in no time! All it takes is practice. We also have tools in place to help you brush and floss in the tricky places. It is important to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums when in treatment to avoid decay and decalcification. We want your smile to be perfect when you finish treatment - its a team effort!
Do Braces Hurt?
The straightforward answer is no - But this does depend on patient sensitivity. Braces should never hurt; however, there may be moments of discomfort. This is 100% normal and will go away quickly!
Keep in mind that your lips, gums, and cheeks may be sore for the first few days while you adapt to having braces. As they are adjusted over time, you may notice an “ache” for the first few days. Note that these aches will subside and you only have to worry about adjustments every month or so.
Can I wear braces if I play sports?
Yes! Our team heavily believes in extracurriculars and sports. Orthodontic treatment should never interfere with having fun or getting exercise. If you are a member of a sports team or fear that physical activity may require extra protection, please let us know. We will create a custom mouth guard for you, an essential tool for protecting your teeth during and after treatment!
What are the foods to avoid with braces?
Fortunately, the list of foods you should avoid isn't too long. However, it is important that you avoid these foods to prevent damaging your braces. Certain foods can be easily trapped in the brackets or wires, which could result in poor oral hygiene or losing the bracket itself. The list of foods to avoid include:
- Chewy foods such as gummies, beef jerky or bagels.
- Crunchy foods like carrots, popcorn or chips.
- Sticky foods such as caramel candy or marshmallows.
- Very hard foods like pizza crust or hard candy.
- Foods that require biting into such as apples or corn on the cob. (Don't worry - you can still eat these by slicing the foods for smaller, easier bites).
What are elastics? What if I run out?
When you hear the doctor talk about elastics, they are referring to tiny rubber bands. These rubber bands apply pressure to the teeth in a way that braces or Invisalign trays can not. Elastics can be taken in and out and the doctor will instruct you on how to use them. If you run out, don’t worry! Stop by one of our offices and we will be happy to give you more! It is important that you do not wait until your next appointment to get more elastics as it could delay treatment time.
