What is orthodontics for all ages?

Taking a comprehensive approach to orthodontics, we straighten teeth for all ages, no matter what stage of life you’re in. Our orthodontic treatments are tailored to meet the unique needs of children, teens, and adults, ensuring that you or your child receive the proper care to achieve a bright, confident smile.
Our Treatments
Early Interceptive Orthodontics For Children
Starting orthodontic treatment at a young age can prevent more complex issues later in life. We provide early interceptive orthodontics to address specific issues during jaw development, giving your child a strong foundation for a healthy, beautiful smile.
Orthodontics For Teens
The teenage years are an ideal time for orthodontic treatment. With the right timing, Dr. Bergman can guide jaw and tooth development to correct bite issues and create a smile that’s not just beautiful—but functional and long-lasting. Whether your teen prefers clear aligners or traditional braces, we offer personalized options to match their lifestyle and give them the confidence they need during these formative years.

It's Never Too Late to Get the Smile of Your Dreams!
Whether you're 17 or 70, orthodontic care can transform your smile and boost your confidence—there’s no age limit on feeling great about your smile!
Looking To Discreetly Align Your Smile?
Clear aligners can gradually shift your teeth into the strong, straight smile of your dreams — without anyone noticing. If you’re looking for a metal and bracket-free approach to treatment, talk to your dentist about our clear aligner options.
Goodbye, Goopy Impressions
Using our state-of-the-art intraoral scanner, your orthodontist can capture a 3D impression of your mouth in 3 minutes or less. This fully digital process means that messy putty is now a thing of the past!
Orthodontics Before Cosmetic Work
For many adults looking to improve their smile, they may be working with more than one provider to meet their goals. Dr. Bergman works in conjunction with patients who are planning cosmetic dental work with their general dentist in order to position the teeth ideally for planned crowns, bridges and implants.
Braces
Our office is proud to provide traditional metal and tooth colored braces—a time-tested solution for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. With brackets and wires that are carefully adjusted over time, traditional braces offer reliable, precise results for patients of all ages.
