Custom Braces To Match Your Style

Braces are a dependable, versatile option for children, teens, and adults with a wide range of orthodontic needs. At Dyer Orthodontics, you can choose from traditional metal, clear ceramic, or gold braces. Eligible patients may even be able to get started the same day as their consultation!

Early Orthodontic Treatment for Developing Smiles

Dr. Dyer believes in evaluating children early, while also treating only when there is a reason to intervene. When Phase 1 treatment is appropriate, options may include braces, aligners, expanders, space maintainers, habit appliances, bite plates, or other growth-guidance appliances based on your child’s specific needs.

Protect the Smile You Worked for With Retainers

Finishing active orthodontic treatment is a big milestone, but keeping your teeth in their new positions matters, too. Dyer Orthodontics offers Essix, Hawley, and fixed retainers, with clear Essix retainers serving as Dr. Dyer’s primary option because they cover the entire surface of the teeth.

Orthodontic Treatment FAQs

What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?

Braces use brackets and wires that remain on your teeth throughout active treatment, while clear aligners use a series of removable trays to gradually move your teeth. Both can be effective options, but the better fit depends on factors such as your orthodontic needs, age, habits, and treatment goals. Dr. Dyer can compare your options with you during your consultation.

Yes. Dyer Orthodontics provides orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. Whether you have never had orthodontic treatment or your teeth have shifted since earlier treatment, Dr. Dyer can evaluate your smile and discuss the options available to you

You don’t need to figure that out before coming to see us. During your free consultation, Dr. Dyer will evaluate your teeth and bite, listen to what matters to you, and explain which treatment options are appropriate for your needs so you can make an informed decision.

If you notice concerns with your child’s bite, tooth alignment, or jaw development, it may be a good time to schedule an orthodontic evaluation. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends visiting an orthodontist by age 7 to get ahead of any potential issues. Dr. Dyer can evaluate how your child’s smile is developing and determine whether early treatment could be beneficial or if it makes more sense to simply monitor their growth.

Retainers are an important part of maintaining the position of your teeth after active orthodontic treatment. Dyer Orthodontics offers several options, including Essix, Hawley, and fixed retainers, and your team will explain the recommended retention plan for your smile.
