Braces
Stewart Family Orthodontics offers traditional metal braces, clear braces, and Damon self-ligating systems for precise tooth alignment. These treatments use advanced bracket and wire technology to correct bite issues, overcrowding, and spacing problems efficiently. Patients benefit from reduced discomfort, aesthetic options like colored elastics, and accelerated treatment timelines through low-friction systems that minimize adjustment needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment utilizes custom-made, removable clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for teens and adults, this option eliminates brackets and wires, allowing unrestricted eating and oral hygiene. Our practice employs 3D imaging technology to map treatment progress, ensuring predictable results while maintaining comfort and aesthetics throughout the orthodontic journey.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen provides removable, nearly invisible aligners specifically designed for adolescents. This solution accommodates active lifestyles by allowing removal during sports, eating, and brushing. Features include eruption tabs for growing teeth and compliance indicators to track wear time, ensuring effective treatment while maintaining teenage confidence and convenience.
Virtual Appointments
Our Dental Monitoring technology enables virtual check-ins through smartphone imaging, reducing in-office visits by up to 50%. Patients receive weekly progress assessments while maintaining treatment accuracy. This innovation benefits busy families, travelers, and those seeking maximum flexibility without compromising care quality or treatment outcomes.

We specialize in esthetic adult orthodontic solutions including clear braces and Invisalign. Treatment addresses long-standing alignment issues while considering mature dental needs.

Questions
What is an orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist with 2-3 additional years of accredited training focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities.
What are signs braces may be needed?
Common indicators include protruding front teeth, deep bites, underbites, open bites, crowded teeth, midline misalignment, and difficulty chewing due to poor occlusion.
At what age should orthodontic treatment start?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends initial evaluation by age 7, though treatment can successfully occur at any age with 20-25% of patients being adults.
How does orthodontic treatment work?
Braces apply controlled pressure through brackets and archwires to gradually move teeth into optimal positions. Invisalign uses sequential clear aligners to achieve similar tooth movement without fixed appliances.
Do braces interfere with sports or instruments?
Braces don't prevent participation, but we recommend mouthguards for sports and offer brace covers to ease musical instrument adaptation during initial adjustment periods.
