Early Treatment
Even if baby teeth remain, many orthodontic issues can be diagnosed and corrected in patients as young as seven years old. This can simplify or even eliminate the need for future treatments.
Adult treatment
The most common phrase said by our adult patients is, "I wish I had come here sooner." Even if you did not have the benefit of treatment as an adolescent, it’s never too late to build your dream smile. In fact, one out of five adults are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Talk to us to see if you're a candidate!
Traditional Braces
Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.
Ceramic braces are made of a ceramic (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal.

Retention
When active tooth movement is complete, Dr. Chen will help you determine the type of retainer to keep your final result intact for the rest of your life. Our treatment includes one year of retainer follow up.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic (jaw) surgery corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often these abnormalities cause difficulty associated with chewing, breathing, sleeping and other routine activities. If you are in need of surgery, Dr. Chen will refer you to an oral surgeon who specializes in this procedure.
