Meet Our DentistsWe offer braces and clear aligners for every age. Dr. Zadmehr recommends the option that fits your bite, your goals, and your schedule.
When teeth come in crooked or there is not enough room, braces guide them into place. Dr. Zadmehr evaluates tooth and jaw alignment to help decide when treatment should start. Traditional, clear, and ceramic braces are all available.
It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Maybe you missed braces as a kid, or your teeth have shifted over time. Clear and ceramic braces are less noticeable at work.
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners that you switch out as your teeth move. They come out to eat and brush. Dr. Zadmehr will tell you honestly if aligners can handle your case or if braces will do the job better.
Straight teeth are easier to clean, and a healthy bite makes chewing and speaking more comfortable. These are the problems we see most often.
When teeth overlap, they trap food and plaque and can be hard to clean. Braces or aligners create room and line them up.
Teeth that twist, tip, or leave gaps can affect your bite and your confidence. Treatment moves each tooth gradually into place.
If your upper and lower teeth do not meet the way they should, it can wear teeth unevenly. We evaluate jaw alignment and plan treatment around it.
Jaw pain, clicking, or discomfort can sometimes be linked to how your teeth fit together. Dr. Zadmehr can assess your symptoms and tell you whether orthodontic treatment may help.
Your first orthodontic visit is free. Dr. Zadmehr examines your teeth and bite, answers your questions, and explains your options, so you can decide with no pressure.
Our office uses multiple digital scanners and intraoral cameras, and CBCT imaging is available for cases that need a closer look.

Retainers hold your teeth in their new position after braces or aligners come off. Wearing yours as directed protects the result you worked for.
Kids in braces still need regular cleanings and checkups. Because our office treats children, those visits happen at the same practice as their orthodontic care.
Once braces or aligners come off, some patients want a brighter shade to finish their new smile. We can talk through timing with you after treatment.
Many PPO plans include some orthodontic coverage, and our benefits coordinator checks yours before treatment starts. We submit claims for you and tell you upfront what your plan will pay.
