Orthodontic Treatment
Space Maintainers
Baby teeth play an important role in guiding permanent teeth into place. When one is lost too early, a space maintainer helps preserve the space needed for healthy development.
This simple appliance can help prevent nearby teeth from shifting and reduce the need for more complex treatment later.

Retainers
Retainers are the key to protecting your new smile long after braces or clear aligner treatment is complete.
Using our in-house 3D printing technology, we create custom retainers designed specifically for your smile, making replacement retainers faster and more convenient when needed.

Orthodontic Treatment
Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders help guide healthy jaw development and create the space growing smiles need for permanent teeth and proper bite alignment.
Using advanced 3D printing technology, Dr. Vivian Snider creates custom-fit palatal expanders designed specifically for your child's smile, providing a comfortable fit while supporting efficient treatment and fewer appointments.

Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are a modern orthodontic solution designed to help you achieve a beautiful, straight smile with a more discreet appearance than traditional metal braces. Made from clear or tooth-colored materials, ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them a popular choice for those who are conscious about their appearance during orthodontic treatment.

Braces
Braces are one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments for creating healthy, beautifully aligned smiles.
They can correct everything from simple crowding to more complex bite concerns with predictable, lasting results.
Dr. Vivian Snider offers personalized treatment with both metal and ceramic braces, carefully designing every smile around your unique needs and goals.
Orthodontic Treatment
Early Orthodontic Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child visit an orthodontist around age 7.
That doesn't mean every child needs braces. It simply gives us the opportunity to evaluate how the teeth, bite, and jaws are developing while your child is still growing.
Many children simply benefit from observation, while others may benefit from Phase I orthodontic treatment that guides healthy growth and helps prevent more complex problems later.
