Orthodontist In Watertown, SD

We are a leading Invisalign provider in Watertown, SD. Using these clear aligners, our doctors help patients realign their smiles, obtain optimal bites, and improve facial symmetry. Wearing Invisalign can correct common orthodontic issues such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites without the need for braces.

Adults with crooked teeth, gaps, and crowding may also qualify for Invisalign treatment. This allows them to inconspicuously correct their smile — all from the comfort of home with no adjustments necessary.
Our office uses 3D printing to create custom clear aligners right on the spot. Patients can start treatment much sooner rather than wait for a laboratory to make the trays and send them to us.

Having access to in-office printing also allows us to easily and quickly adjust your aligners easily if something feels off. This ensures you can have a smooth, comfortable fit at all times without ever having to worry about missing days of treatment.

Our braces for kids, teens, and adults are designed with the most advanced technology on the market. We allow you to visualize your new smile in 3D before starting treatment. Then, we help customize the look of your braces to ensure you feel confident throughout the process.

Before treatment, you will meet with one of the orthodontists at our practice for a consultation. We will take 3D digital scans of your mouth to better understand the position of your teeth and jaw. Then, we will discuss treatment options, including the types of braces available and how long you would need to wear them to see your desired results.

After treatment, patients are followed up with retention therapy to maintain their beautiful smiles.

Clear and metal braces are both options for the patients who choose the specialists at our practice. We aim to give you the freedom to customize treatment, so you can feel more comfortable about the aesthetics of your smile. Even when undergoing treatment, there is no reason why you shouldn’t love your smile!

All braces work by using pressure to move the teeth and jaw into the most functional alignment. Throughout the process, you will have a dedicated team offering support every step of the way.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most traditional form of orthodontic treatment. They are ideal for patients with moderate to severe misalignment. When applied earlier in life, braces can be worn for a shorter period of time and provide children with a perfect bite throughout adulthood.

Although they are most commonly associated with tweens and teens, braces are an excellent option for patients of all ages. If you are interested in braces for adults, we highly encourage you to reach out to us and request a consultation!

Clear Braces

Just like traditional metal braces, clear braces provide continuous pressure that shifts teeth into a healthier position. At the same time, they offer more neutral aesthetics through the use of transparent or tooth-colored brackets made from ceramics — patients who choose clear braces often like the more natural look of treatment.
