Orthodontic Care for the Whole Family

We believe that creating beautiful smiles is a journey that starts early. Our practice welcomes patients of all ages, understanding that orthodontic needs vary throughout life. We provide comprehensive orthodontic care to children, teenagers, and adults, ensuring that each individual receives tailored treatment plans to achieve their unique goals. As a family-oriented practice, we understand the convenience of simultaneous scheduling, allowing multiple family members to receive care at the same time.

We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of orthodontic services, including traditional braces, Invisalign, Inbrace, and more customized treatments based on individual patient needs.

Orthodontics for Kids

The American Academy of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Early intervention can be crucial for setting the stage for healthy jaw growth and tooth development. At Giardina & Kray Orthodontics, our team specializes in working with children, providing a gentle and supportive environment that makes them feel at ease. We utilize age-appropriate techniques and technology to ensure a positive and successful orthodontic experience for your child.
