Faster Treatment and Fewer Appointments
We are one of the few orthodontic practices that embraces a fully digital workflow, leading to faster treatment and fewer appointments. Prior to commencing treatment, we meticulously plan out every smile on the computer, enabling us to chart the most efficient path toward achieving your forever smile.
Smile for Life

However, at Life Orthodontics, with our exclusive Smile for Life guarantee, we have you covered and will retreat you or replace your retainer at little cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first orthodontic check-up?
We recommend that children have their first orthodontic check-up around age 7, when their permanent teeth begin to emerge and potential issues can be more easily identified and addressed.
Is it too late for adults to get orthodontic treatment?
It's never too late for adults to consider orthodontic treatment. In fact, about 1 in 4 orthodontic patients are over 18! Age is not a barrier, and many adults have successfully achieved their desired results through orthodontics.
ARE BRACES MY ONLY OPTION?
We offer many different treatment options at our practice, including traditional braces, hidden behind-the-teeth braces (InBrace), and clear aligners. If you would like more details on any of the options, check out the different pages on our website or feel free to give us a call!
CAN MY TEENAGER PARTICIPATE IN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES WHILE WEARING BRACES OR ALIGNERS?
Yes! We can recommend appropriate mouthguards for teenagers with braces, and removable aligners can be easily taken out during sports activities, ensuring your teen stays protected while enjoying their favorite sport.
In addition, behind-the-teeth braces (InBrace) work well for those who play instruments. We want our teens to stay active and involved in their favorite activities, so we will work with you to find the treatment approach that will best fit your lifestyle!
