As you probably know, braces are not just for kids anymore. A great many of our patients are adults who wish to perfect their smiles by making use of the newest available techniques. We are excited to offer our patients a wide variety of braces. We have the very popular and revolutionary Invisalign braces which are transparent aligners that gradually move the teeth in proper alignment. No one will even know that you are wearing these braces as they are virtually undetectable. We also use Damon braces. These braces do not use elastic or steel ties but instead they utilize a 'sliding door' technology that is referred to as self-ligation, which allows the wire to slide back and forth within brackets. These braces do not cause as much friction as traditional braces, meaning that they are very comfortable to wear. We also fit patients with ceramic braces as well as with Insignia braces which shortens treatment time.

If you feel that you or your children can benefit from orthodontic care, do not hesitate to give us a call or use the appointment request form we have available on our website. We will schedule an appointment for you so that we can take the necessary photographs and X-rays so that a a proper diagnosis can be made. Dr. Halford will then conduct a brief, but thorough exam. Your options will be explained to you and you will be told how long the treatment will take.

It our goal here at Dr. Halford's office to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Our atmosphere is modern, relaxed and designed to put you at ease the moment you walk through our door. We are excited to meet each new patient and will do everything we can to help you to achieve and maintain a beautiful smile that will make you proud.
