Whether you’re dealing with serious alignment issues or just want a straighter more beautiful smile, braces can gradually shift your teeth to create the smile of your dreams.
What are Braces?
Braces are a proven and reliable option for straightening your teeth and fixing your bite. While most offices use generic one-size-fits-all braces, we are one of the few offices that use custom braces with digital treatment planning software which yields faster treatment with fewer appointments.

The Benefits of Custom Braces
Personalized For You
Most offices use one-size-fits all braces which requires significant adjustments through trial and error from the orthodontist to customize it for you. At Life Orthodontics, we use custom braces which are customized to your unique anatomy, so you get to your forever smile faster than ever.
Faster Treatment
With custom braces, we plan out your smile on the computer allowing us to chart the most efficient path toward achieving your smile. Custom braces with digital treatment planning have been shown to finish treatment 30% faster than traditional braces.
Fewer Office Visits
Since treatment is faster with custom braces, this means fewer office visits which means less time away from school or work and more time loving your new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do braces work?
Braces work by applying gradual pressure on the teeth, slowly moving them into the desired alignment. The jaw bone adapts as minor changes in the wires/brackets apply pressure over time, which allows the teeth and their roots to adjust.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A BRACKET COMES OFF?
We understand that sometimes life happens. If you notice that a bracket is loose, call our office so that we can help you schedule an appointment to have the bracket replaced. If the loose bracket is bothering you in the meantime, try to cover it with some orthodontic wax.
How do you care for your braces?
We want you to have not only a beautiful smile, but also beautiful teeth! Once your braces are on, make sure you take care of them. Brush around each bracket in a circular motion with a soft bristled toothbrush. The water flosser and soft picks are great helpers to keep food out of your brackets and wires after you eat, but also make sure you are flossing every day with string floss. You should be coming in regularly to see us for adjustments, but don't forget to also see your dentist for routine dental exams and cleanings!
