Our Philosophy

At Straightline Orthodontics, we believe that orthodontic care shouldn't just focus on straightening teeth - it should also prioritize the overall health and well-being of our patients. That's why we take a holistic approach to orthodontics, considering everything from genetics to lifestyle factors that may impact your oral health.

We're committed to staying at the forefront of the latest technologies and techniques in orthodontics, ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care. From digital imaging and X-rays to advanced orthodontic appliances, we've got you covered.

Our Services

At Straightline Orthodontics, we offer a range of services to cater to your unique needs. These include:

• Phased Treatment: We recommend that children have an initial orthodontic evaluation around age 7. This allows us to monitor and guide the growth of the jaw and teeth, addressing any potential issues before they become more complex.
• Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment: Our comprehensive treatment, or Phase II, typically begins around age 12 and typically lasts around 24 months. This phase focuses on aligning the teeth and jaws for a beautiful, functional smile.
• Adult Orthodontics: We understand that a beautiful smile isn't just for kids! At Straightline Orthodontics, we're proud to provide orthodontic care to adults of all ages. Whether you're looking to correct orthodontic issues from years past or simply enjoy a more confident smile, we're here to help.
• Invisalign: We offer Invisalign aligners as a convenient, discreet alternative to traditional braces.
• Ceramic Brackets: Our ceramic brackets are designed for older teens and adults who want a more subtle, non-metallic option.
