Braces & Clear Aligners
Straight smiles for kids, teens, and adults — all in one family office.
Why drive across town to a separate orthodontist when your family dentist already knows you?
Services Included
Everything under one roof.
All orthodontic services, from first evaluation through retention — with the same doctors who already know your dental history.
- Traditional metal braces — proven, effective, and often the most affordable option
- Clear aligners and Invisalign — discreet, removable, and popular with adults and teens
- Retainers — to keep your new smile straight after active treatment ends
- Early orthodontic evaluation for children ages 7+ (interceptive orthodontics)
- Bite correction — crossbite, overbite, underbite, and spacing issues
For Every Age
Orthodontics isn't just for teenagers.
Kids — Ages 7+
When adult teeth start coming in, an early orthodontic exam helps us spot bite issues before they become bigger problems. Often, no treatment is needed right away — but when it is, early intervention is easier, shorter, and gentler than waiting.
Teenagers
Most kids who need braces start between ages 10–14. Teens love clear aligners — they're nearly invisible and removable for sports and photos. Traditional braces still work great for complex cases, and they're often the more affordable choice.
Adults
It's never too late. About 1 in 4 of our orthodontic patients are adults — many in their 40s, 50s, and 60s — finally getting the smile they always wanted. Clear aligners fit seamlessly into professional life.
Continuity of Care
Your orthodontist already knows you.
Most orthodontic offices don't know your dental history. We do. We've watched your bite develop. We know your dental anxiety triggers, your insurance plan, your family. When orthodontics is part of your regular dental home, treatment is more coordinated, more comfortable — and often more affordable.

Treatment Timeline
How long does treatment take?
Clear Aligners / Invisalign
12–18 months typical
Removable trays changed every 1–2 weeks. Nearly invisible. Comfortable to wear daily.
Traditional Braces
18–24 months typical
Fixed brackets and wires. Best for complex bite corrections. Adjustments every 4–8 weeks.
Retention (Retainers)
Ongoing
After active treatment ends, retainers keep your results. Wear them as directed — your results are worth protecting.
Transparent Pricing
Affordable orthodontic care for families.
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment in Iowa typically ranges from $4,000 to $6,500 depending on complexity and treatment type. Many dental insurance plans include a one-time orthodontic benefit (often $1,500–$2,000 lifetime). CareCredit and in-house monthly payment plans are available — most patients spread payments across the full treatment timeline.

"I was 48 years old and I finally decided to do something about my teeth. Dr. Greg was so patient with me — he explained exactly what the aligners would do, and 14 months later I have a smile I'm not embarrassed by. I wish I'd done it decades ago."
