Sometimes with malocclusions, you tend to have a tendency to hold plaque and calculus more. So if you straighten the malocclusion, it also kind of give you bad bite patterns. You can do that with orthodontics. We offer the aligners and cosmetic orthodontics with the so-called braces, but they’re clear and the wires are white. We also work with the aligners. That’s where it’s going, but you have to wear them for it to work.
The white that’s applied to the teeth, like white composite, that’s actually your brackets and make your teeth move the same. We have Ortho On-Demand. Another thing, you can scan yourself with your cell phone with the light on, with the appliance you bite on, and do scans. You don’t have to see us as much on those. Once we’re up and going, probably only two times a year.
Sometimes you may have to come in and we do a digital scan. We don’t have as much where we have to do the goopy impressions with Ortho, doing it that way. Most of it is digital scans in this day and time. So we do that and photographs and can go. But our on-demand Ortho system can really save you a lot of appointments.
As long as your children are cooperative, we’ll do it. That’s less missed school, less missed work because you’re looking two or three appointments a year. So not every month, but you do do the scans fairly often. It’s mainly a very simple device you bite on and it lets the phone with the light on take a video and then you send it in and it’s reviewed. We can see whether you’ve been wearing your aligners or not as well.

Spend Less Time Straightening Your Teeth With Our Advanced Solutions
If you are an adult pursuing orthodontics, you aren’t alone. Many of our patients never had the chance to receive orthodontics as a child. Or maybe you did, but you weren’t consistent about wearing your retainer. Whatever your reason for wanting your teeth straightened, we’re excited that you want to begin your journey with our team. Dr. Hay will begin by doing a complete exam of your mouth. He’ll determine which of our options are right for you.
We offer:
- Six Month Smiles – This treatment uses advanced technology to straighten your teeth in as few as six months. You can choose clear aligners or clear braces, depending on the extent of your alignment concerns. You’ll love completing your treatment in less time than traditional methods!
- Clear Aligners – We can also recommend more traditional clear aligners that straighten your teeth in about 12 to 18 months. You can easily remove them to brush your teeth, floss, or eat. Your dentist will determine if these aligners are more suitable for your needs.
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a retainer that you’ll wear to maintain the outcome. You may also consider combining your treatment with other cosmetic solutions. Whitening your teeth is a fantastic way of topping off your orthodontic results.

Our orthodontic options are very effective for correcting a wide variety of orthodontic issues. We offer clear aligners and Six Month Smiles, either of which can straighten your teeth faster than traditional braces. Both methods will give you a straight and beautiful smile in months rather than two years or longer like braces take.
Each patient is different, with a unique set of wants and needs. It is not possible to give you an estimate on your orthodontic treatment until we’ve first performed an exam and worked up treatment options for you. Then we can make sure you have all the information you need, including cost, to decide on the orthodontic care that’s right for you.
Choosing the right orthodontic treatment for you depends on the severity of your bite problems, the position of your teeth, and what you want to accomplish overall. You would also want to think about the sort of sacrifices or lifestyle changes you are or are not willing to accept because every orthodontic treatment will require certain adjustments to your diet, your oral hygiene regimen, and your appearance.
