Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use stainless steel brackets and archwires to move your teeth into their proper position. Many teenagers like to decorate their braces with different colored rubber bands to give them a colorful and unique smile. You can choose a new color (or colors) during every adjustment!
Damon Braces
The Damon® System uses self-ligating brackets and hi-tech, light-force archwires to improve your bite and smile. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that is proven to be more comfortable and efficient than traditional braces. The results are often extraordinary.
Clear Braces
Most teens and adults are reluctant to get the orthodontic care they need due to the appearance of orthodontic appliances. That’s why we offer clear braces, which are much less noticeable than metal braces, but still give patients a smile they deserve. Clear braces are just like metal braces, but they are almost invisible.
Invisalign
Invisalign® is a wonderful, modern, alternative treatment to braces. You can straighten your teeth without installing metal in your mouth. Instead, we use plastic trays (also known as aligners) to move your teeth back into place. Each aligner is custom made to fit your mouth so you don’t have to worry about mouth irritation or anything else that traditional braces can cause.
Invisalign For Teens
Many teenagers are affected by malocclusions that need to be corrected. However, the thought of going through high school with braces may be your teen’s worst nightmare. Luckily, Invisalign Teen® can be very helpful. Your teenager can get the smile that he or she deserves without bulky wires and brackets.
Retention
After you have worn your braces for the appropriate amount of time, we move into the retention stage of your treatment. It is VERY important not to skip this step, or all of your hard work will not pay off as you had hoped. Your teeth may shift around or move back to where they were instead of staying in place.
Surgical Orthodontics
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is considered a dental specialty and helps complex cases involving the mouth, jaw, face, and skull. If your case requires surgical orthodontics, your orthodontist will work with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to provide you with the best and most comprehensive care possible.
Itero® 3D Scanner
Here at Gardens Orthodontics, we are proud to offer an iTero 3D scanner. We take pride in providing modern, high quality care so you can have the smile you deserve. We are constantly updating our equipment in order to provide patients with state-of-the-art dental care.
We also provide:
- ITERO®️ DIGITAL IMPRESSION SYSTEM
- ITERO®️ ELEMENT
Early Treatment
The earlier we catch problems with your child’s bite, the simpler they are to fix. The results are often better than if we wait and will require significantly less work. We may not need to keep braces on your child for as long when they are younger, which means less expense for you.
Adult Treatment
Here at Gardens Orthodontics, we work hard to give you the smile you’ve always wanted. We offer several different treatments that can be effective no matter how old you are. More and more orthodontic treatments are becoming available to give adults the smile that they want.
Braces For Teens
Braces are not as scary as most teens think. Technology has advanced a lot in recent years, providing us with newer styles of braces. The result is a faster, more comfortable, and more effective treatment. Braces come in different colors, styles, and materials, so your teen can customize their look and express their personality.
ABO Certification
Founded in 1929, the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in the dental field.
The goal of the ABO is to promote the highest level of orthodontics. They want all orthodontists to be held to a high standard so that their patients are guaranteed the care they deserve. They also serve to protect the general public against orthodontists who are unqualified to practice.
The ABO has several main objectives. The first is to provide examinations and certificates to graduates who are able to practice orthodontics at a high level. They also offer a “diplomate’s career,” which means that orthodontists are re-evaluated throughout their career with examinations to ensure that they are practicing the way that they should be.
After an orthodontist becomes certified, the ABO helps to continue the orthodontist’s education with further education programs to study and promote the most modern technologies offered in the orthodontic field.
It is not easy for orthodontists to become board certified. They must pass both written and clinical examinations. The board will also go over their credentials to make sure they are qualified to receive the honor. This process can take between five and ten years. Once an orthodontist becomes certified, they will have to become recertified every ten years to maintain their status.
Once they are board certified, they can be called a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. This tells others that they are truly dedicated to development and excellence in the field.

Acceledent®️ Aura
We recommend that our patients using AcceleDent use the device for at least twenty minutes a day during their orthodontic treatment, along with their fixed braces or clear aligners. It’s a mouthpiece that fits around your existing braces or clear aligners to speed up the treatment process. Using AcceleDent will also ease the discomfort that you may be feeling during your orthodontic treatment.
AcceleDent creates a safe acceleration of the bone remodeling process; it is clinically proven to move your teeth up to 50% faster by using SoftPulse Technology, which is applied precisely to accelerate the movement of your teeth gently. It is generally comfortable and easy to use.
Clarity™ SL
At Garden Orthodontics, we are always looking for new ways to give you a more comfortable and confident smile. We are pleased now to offer the Clarity™ SL braces to all our patients in need of orthodontic treatment.
Clarity™ SL braces are self-ligating braces made of translucent ceramic allowing you to smile clearly during and after treatment. The translucent ceramic brackets blend with your teeth and are stain-resistant which allows you to achieve a more natural look during treatment. Since there are no ligatures or elastics involved, you don’t have to worry about plaque or buildup between your braces that can lead to discoloration or staining of your teeth.
Compared to traditional metal braces, Clarity™ SL braces do not require the use of elastics meaning fewer appointments and office visits allowing for faster treatment. Each bracket is designed to fit a specific tooth with smooth, comfortable edges making for fast and comfortable treatment.
Radiance™ Brackets
Many patients want clear orthodontic treatment similar to Invisalign®, but sometimes aligners may not be enough to correct certain orthodontic needs. Instead, some patients may require braces as a treatment option, if you are looking for a clear option, consider Radiance™ Brackets. Here at Garden Orthodontics, we offer Radiance™ Brackets to patients of all ages in search of a clear and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces.
Radiance™ Brackets provide the same effectiveness that you would find from traditional braces without the wires and metal brackets. These brackets are crafted from sapphire and heat polished until smooth and clear, meaning your treatment can be our secret!
They are the ultimate combination of beauty and performance in orthodontic treatment offering patients the highest level of comfort. The smooth edges reduce irritation and discomfort commonly experienced with traditional braces, while their stain resistance ensures a bright and clear smile from start to finish.
Forsus Appliance
One treatment option we offer to young patients to promote corrective growth is the Forsus appliance. This device works to eliminate excessive overbites, improve the fit of teeth, and reduce the need for future reconstructive surgery.
The Forsus appliance is designed to align the teeth and reduce the overbite and promote proper jaw growth in patients. It works on both the upper and lower teeth at the same time by pulling the top teeth back and pushing the bottom teeth forward to align your bite. The best part of this treatment option is that it sits in the back of your mouth and does not require any external equipment such as headgear, so no one will notice!
It is often used in adolescent patients because they are in a high period of growth and development increasing treatment success.
Forsus can be installed during a single appointment and can work in conjunction with existing braces so there is no need to interrupt your previous orthodontic treatment plan.
This device is low profile and does not bow into the cheek like other corrective appliances. It allows for a full range of motion so that speech and eating habits will not be affected. However as with any orthodontic treatment hard and sticky food should be avoided. The open design of the Forsus appliance allows for easy clean so you can continue your regular oral hygiene habits without worry.
Six Month Smiles®
One reason many people avoid orthodontic care is the time commitment that is often involved with traditional treatment. At Garden Orthodontics, we understand that your smile is more than an expression and for your convenience, we are proud to offer Six Month Smiles®.
Six Month Smiles® takes a modern approach to traditional treatment with a cosmetic dentistry twist to fit your active lifestyle. This treatment is designed with clear brackets and tooth-colored wires making treatment barely visible.
Unlike traditional braces, Six Month Smiles® focuses primarily on the cosmetic appearance of your teeth, resulting in shorter treatment time. Though just because the treatment is shorter, does not mean you will experience more pain or discomfort, as the force used is lighter and no tightening procedures are involved with treatment.
After treatment, you may need to wear an orthodontic retainer after treatment to keep your teeth from drifting back to their original positions and causing you to lose your beautiful smile.
Herbst Appliance
For patients who may need to correct their bite, one treatment option we offer is the Herbst appliance. The Herbst is a growth modification appliance designed to realign the bite when the upper jaw is too forward compared to the lower jaw. In the past, bite correction was treated with headgear, however, at Garden Orthodontics, the Herbst appliance is the leading treatment for overbite correction.
This device attaches to the back molars of your mouth and consists of a palate expander with lower bars for stability. The expander widens your upper jaw allowing more room for your teeth while the other pieces work together to correct a severe overjet or overbite.
The Herbst appliance can be applied in conjunction with braces while treatment generally lasts 9-12 months. This treatment often works well with children as they are in the greatest period of growth, but has proven effective in adult patients as well.
As with any orthodontic treatment, the Herbst appliance may feel bulky at first and require an adjustment period. We recommend patients begin with a soft food diet until properly adjusted to the appliance. It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene and clean around your appliance to avoid any plaque or buildup.
GLO™ Teeth Whitening
At Garden Orthodontics, we understand how a beautiful white smile can impact your life. We are proud to be certified with GLO™ Science dental practice and offer our patients a fast and efficient tooth whitening experience.
GLO™ is the only teeth whitening technology to combine a gentle warming heat with safe LED light to accelerate results with optimal patient comfort in mind. The controlled warming allows for a faster reaction to the whitening gel which results in a shorter exposure time reducing patient tooth sensitivity and discomfort.
Compared to over-the-counter whitening treatments, professional orthodontic treatment uses clinical strength that can be over three times the power of any over-the-counter kit. Our in-office treatment can lighten your smile up to five shades allowing you to leave our office with a white and bright healthy smile. Not only is GLO™ safe and comfortable, but also fast so that you can have dramatically white teeth in under an hour!
In-Ovation®
Look and feel confident during and after orthodontic treatment with In-Ovation® braces. At Garden Orthodontics, we can give you a radiant smile faster than traditional braces without any elastics, so you will never need a tightening appointment.
In-Ovation® braces are self-ligating placing light pressure on the teeth allowing for a more comfortable feel. This system uses less metal, so friction and pressure placed on your teeth or surrounding soft tissue such as your cheeks and tongue experience less discomfort. The self-ligating design of In-Ovation® braces also means fewer appointments for you and less time spent in the office because we understand how valuable your time is.
It’s low-profile design also makes it easy to clean and reduces your chance for plaque buildup. Though the treatment time varies patient by patient, when compared to traditional metal braces, In-Ovation® is the faster treatment.
In-Ovation® Adult
It’s not uncommon for individuals to notice their teeth have changed or shifted over the years. Common dental problems include overcrowding, gaps between teeth, or alignment issues that weren’t there before. Despite this, many adults do not consider orthodontic treatment, but a healthy straight smile can be achieved at any age.
At Garden Orthodontics, we understand how important it is to find a treatment option that not only addresses your concerns but also the needs of your lifestyle. In-Ovation® Adult has aesthetic options that are ideal for anyone who desires a more discreet option.

INBRACE®
INBRACE® is a revolutionary type of lingual braces that combines high quality orthodontics with state-of-the-art technology to move your teeth into their desired position. It is also the perfect option for those who want to conceal their treatment, as INBRACE® hides discreetly behind your teeth.
As mentioned above, INBRACE® is the most technologically advanced form of lingual braces and uses computer modeling known as Smartwire® to move your teeth. Our staff will take photographs and scans of your teeth and design your perfect smile using Smartwire® technology.
Your customized braces will be placed onto the back of your teeth. These brackets will gently move your teeth over time with minimal force, making INBRACE® a healthier option for your teeth and gums as it allows your mouth time to adapt as your teeth move slowly during treatment.
In addition to being discrete, the low-profile design makes treatment feel less obtrusive but also allows you to brush and floss as you did before treatment.
INBRACE® can treat a wide range of bite conditions and teeth misalignment such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, mild to moderate crowding, open bites, and deep bites.
Invisalign® First
Invisalign® First aligners are designed specifically for little smiles, to improve a child’s smile as they grow.
These aligners are designed to treat a wide range of teeth-straightening issues commonly found in children as it guides your child’s teeth into the correct position. This may also lessen or eliminate the need for more extensive or invasive orthodontic treatment when they are older.
Similar to other Invisalign® products, treatment is discreet with a clear aligner and easily removable to maintain proper oral hygiene during treatment.
Invisalign® First can be a more comfortable treatment option for your child compared to traditional metal braces as there are no tightening appointments to schedule or poking wires that may cause pain or discomfort.
