Services
Clear Aligners
Our Angel Aligners provide discreet teeth straightening through custom clear trays. These removable appliances allow unrestricted eating while maintaining treatment effectiveness. Patients appreciate the aesthetic benefits and convenience of virtual check-ins through our Dental Monitoring system.
Lightforce Braces
3D-printed clear braces offer personalized orthodontic treatment with enhanced comfort and efficiency. Unlike traditional metal braces, these customized appliances reduce treatment time while maintaining precise tooth movement control for complex cases.
Dental Monitoring
This app-based system enables virtual progress tracking between appointments. Patients scan their teeth weekly to allow our team to monitor treatment progress and make adjustments without requiring frequent office visits.
3D Scanning
Our advanced scanning technology replaces traditional goop impressions with precise digital mapping. This creates accurate treatment plans while showing patients real-time visualizations of their expected smile transformation through interactive 3D imaging.
Airway Treatment
Specialized orthodontic interventions address airway obstruction in children through jaw development techniques. Early treatment can improve sleep quality, reduce bedwetting, and correct breathing patterns that affect facial development and overall health.

Questions
Why choose an orthodontist over a general dentist?
Orthodontists complete 2-3 additional years of specialized training beyond dental school. Only orthodontists focus exclusively on tooth movement and bite correction, with expertise in growth development and complex alignment cases.
What payment options are available?
We offer interest-free financing plans with small down payments and monthly installments. Family discounts apply for multiple family members, plus special pricing for teachers and first responders.
Do you handle orthodontic emergencies?
Yes, we provide after-hours emergency support for broken brackets or discomfort issues. Most emergencies can be resolved remotely, with urgent in-person care available when necessary.
Can I schedule appointments after school?
Most adjustment appointments can be scheduled in the afternoon. Initial consultations and appliance placements typically require morning availability for comprehensive care and proper time allocation.
What happens during the first visit?
Your initial consultation includes digital imaging, comprehensive examination, and personalized treatment recommendations. Dr. Weaver will discuss all options including Phase I treatment, clear aligners, or traditional braces with no pressure to decide immediately.
Are retainers included in treatment?
Yes, all patients receive retainers at treatment completion as part of their fee. We emphasize lifelong retention to maintain your new smile, providing replacement services when needed.
