Alignment affects more than appearance
- •A balanced bite reduces strain on your jaw joints and muscles.
- •Better alignment often means easier chewing, clearer speech, and fewer long-term dental complications.
Digital planning makes movement predictable
- •3D scans and visualization tools let you preview movement before it begins.
- •You know exactly why each tooth is shifting, and what the final result will look like.
It's never "too late" for orthodontics
- •Teeth can be guided at almost any age.
- •Adults often get excellent results with clear aligners, while younger patients benefit from early interceptive steps that support ideal jaw growth.
HOW WE ALIGN WITH CARE
How we align with care
Thoughtful orthodontics means guiding teeth gently, protecting the bite, and keeping you informed at every step.
Digital planning first
Before anything moves, we capture 3D scans and photos to understand how your teeth, bite, and jaws work together. You'll see a predicted outcome — not guesswork.
Options that fit your life
Whether aligners or braces, we walk you through the trade-offs: visibility, comfort, speed, hygiene, and predictability. You choose with clarity, not pressure.
Movement that respects biology
Teeth shift safely with slow, controlled forces. We fine-tune aligners and adjustments as needed so progress stays comfortable and stable.
Stability that lasts
Once your smile is where it should be, we design a retainer plan that protects your investment — because the finish line matters as much as the start.
Your Step-by-Step Plan
Understand your goals
We start with photos, a 3D scan, and a bite assessment — plus a conversation about your priorities: discreet treatment, speed, comfort, or long-term stability.
Map your digital plan
Your teeth and bite are analyzed digitally, and we design a phased plan that predicts movement and explains why aligners or braces are recommended.
Begin gradual, guided movement
Aligners or braces apply controlled forces to shift teeth safely. We monitor comfort, hygiene, and progress so the pace stays healthy and predictable.
Fine-tune your result
As movement progresses, we make micro-adjustments to aligners, attachments, or wires to ensure symmetry, balance, and a comfortable bite.
Lock in long-term stability
Your retainer plan is customized to how your teeth behave. We help you maintain your result so your smile stays straight — not just today, but for years.

Stories from patients who chose Orthodontics & Alignment
Cost, Coverage & Confidence
Clear aligners and braces vary in price based on complexity and length of treatment. After your scan and bite assessment, you'll receive a clear, phase-by-phase estimate — no surprises as treatment progresses. Insurance may cover orthodontics for children or adults depending on your plan. We check benefits upfront, explain what applies toward braces or Invisalign®, and review flexible payment options when coverage is limited. Our digital planning process shows your predicted end result before you begin treatment. Regular check-ins, progress tracking, and a customized retainer plan ensure your smile stays stable long after active treatment ends.

How has your experience been with our team and our office? - I mean, everyone is super friendly, really kind. I'm big on asking questions and understanding the process and what's happening and everyone has been really supportive and giving me, you know, all the answers that I need, all the information, scheduling is super easy. I think a lot of people have impressions of, you know, dentists and orthodontist offices, maybe being like a little cold and impersonable, but I think that Designing Smiles has really changed that perspective even for me. It's just a warm place, you know? I mean, you're not necessarily hanging under the dentist's office, but you don't mind coming here. So yeah, I can't recommend it enough. - Awesome.
