Orthodontics


We offer several types of orthodontic treatment, including retainers, Invisalign "clear" alignment system and the traditional metal braces to help in correcting problems with your teeth, like crowding, crooked teeth, or teeth that are out of alignment. These solutions can prove beneficial for children as well as adults.
PictureInvisalign Retainer
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners are clear, thin, plastic-like trays that are customized and formed to fit your specific teeth. The aligners are worn day and night and only removed when eating, brushing and flossing your teeth.

As prescribe by Dr. Northcutt, a series of aligners is created to move your teeth. Each aligner is worn for a few weeks, and moves teeth a fraction of a millimeter at a time. The number of aligners needed to correct misaligned teeth varies based on your specific orthodontic problem and its correction.

PictureTraditional Braces
Traditional Metal Braces
We also offer traditional braces which are made of metal. They include brackets that are attached to the front of your teeth or bands that fit around each tooth, as well as flexible wires or arch wires that hold the brackets or bands together.

Some braces also include rubber bands or metal ties that link the brackets to the wire. These bands create more pressure to help straighten and align your teeth.  The amount of time needed
​with metal braces, like with clear aligners, varies based on your specific orthodontic problem and its correction.
