Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.

Studies show that millions of Americans have oral health problems that could benefit from orthodontic treatment. Without treatment, many of these people could develop serious problems.

Orthodontics is not age restrictive. Our practice includes patients of all ages. We have treated patients as young as five and are currently treating adult patients in their sixties. As a rule, the earlier a problem is treated, the more treatment options are available. Although teeth can be straightened at any age, growth and development of a child's face and jaws can be used to enhance treatment goals. We recommend seeing children at seven or eight years of age and encourage adults not to wait until either pain or embarrassment forces them to seek care.

Modern orthodontics provides treatment that is more comfortable and also more cosmetically discreet than in the past. Dr. Baldwin prides himself in using the latest and most effective appliances available. There are several types that we will show you including clear ceramic, mini braces, and invisible retainers.

Reasons for seeking orthodontic care are varied. We find most people want a smile that makes them feel self-confident and assured, and a bite that is comfortable and healthy.

We are Invisalign® Certified!

Invisalign® is an invisible way to straighten your teeth and beautify your smile. We use sets of clear trays, usually worn for two weeks at a time. About every six weeks, you'll visit our office so that we can ensure your treatment is progressing properly and provide additional alignment until treatment is completed.
