Orthodontic Treatment for All Ages at Friendship Heights Orthodontics

We offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic treatments to suit patients of all ages, ensuring that we can meet the diverse needs of our community. Whether your needs are best met by traditional braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, or other methods of orthodontic care, we have the right option for you. Our treatment plans are designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, making the path to a beautiful smile as smooth as possible.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are a time-tested and reliable way to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Using advanced metal or clear ceramic brackets and wires, we can help you achieve a perfectly aligned smile with precision and care. Today's braces are more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing than ever before, making them a popular choice for patients of all ages who seek effective and visible results.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners offer a convenient and discreet alternative to traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, gradually shifting them into place without the need for brackets or wires. They provide a comfortable, virtually invisible solution for a straighter smile with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.

Other Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic appliances such as expanders, retainers, and spacers can be used to meet specialized orthodontic needs or help prepare the jaw or mouth to maximize the effectiveness of braces or aligners. Our team will customize these appliances to suit your individual needs, providing targeted support that enhances the effectiveness of your treatment. We take pride in offering solutions that cater to the unique requirements of each patient.
