Treatments

Personalized orthodontic care for every age and every smile goal — from your child's first check-up to your own transformation.

The ideal time for a lifetime of confident smiles

Adolescent Orthodontics

The teenage years are the most common time for orthodontic treatment. Most permanent teeth have erupted, and the jaw is still growing — making it the ideal window for efficient, effective correction.

Dr. Katz offers a full range of options for teens, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign Teen. We understand that appearance matters to adolescents, so we work to find the option that fits their lifestyle and keeps them confident throughout treatment.

It's never too late for a beautiful smile

Adult Orthodontics

More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment — and for good reason. A straight, healthy smile improves confidence, oral health, and overall well-being at any age.

Dr. Katz offers discreet options including clear aligners and ceramic braces that fit seamlessly into a professional lifestyle. We also address bite issues that can contribute to jaw pain, headaches, and uneven tooth wear.

Building healthy smiles from the start

Child Orthodontics

Children's orthodontic needs are unique. While most treatment begins in the early teen years, monitoring your child's dental development from an early age allows Dr. Katz to identify any concerns and intervene at exactly the right time.

Regular check-ins give us the opportunity to guide jaw growth, create space for incoming teeth, and reduce the complexity of future treatment — often resulting in shorter treatment times and better outcomes.

What to Expect

  • Growth monitoring from age 7
  • Space maintainers when needed
  • Kid-friendly, welcoming environment
  • Coordination with your family dentist

Intercepting problems before they become complex

Early Treatment (Phase I)

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, Dr. Katz can identify issues with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present.

Early treatment — also called Phase I — is not always necessary, but when it is, it can prevent more serious problems from developing, simplify later treatment, and in many cases eliminate the need for tooth extractions or surgery.

What to Expect

  • Early crossbite and underbite correction
  • Jaw expansion appliances
  • Habit appliances (thumb sucking)
  • Reduces complexity of Phase II treatment

Invisalign/Clear Aligners

Invisalign/clear aligners use a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Aligners are removable — so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss normally throughout treatment.

Dr. Katz is a certified Invisalign provider with extensive experience treating a wide range of cases, from simple cosmetic corrections to complex bite issues. A complimentary consultation will determine whether Invisalign is right for you.

What to Expect

  • Suitable for teens and adults
