What Are Our Orthodontist Services?
At River City Orthodontics, we offer a full range of orthodontic services designed to support every stage of your smile journey. Whether you’re exploring early care for your child, considering braces for your teen, or looking into adult treatment options like clear aligners, our team is here to provide personalized, high-quality care. With advanced technology and a patient-first approach, we create treatment experiences that are comfortable, efficient, and tailored to your goals.
Braces
Braces remain one of the most trusted ways to straighten teeth for kids, teens, and adults. Modern brackets are smaller, more comfortable, and designed to deliver predictable, efficient results for a healthier, more confident smile.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative to braces. Using a series of custom-made trays, they gently guide teeth into place, making treatment easy to fit into school, work, and everyday life without changing your routine.
Retainers
Retainers help maintain the beautiful results achieved during treatment by keeping teeth stable over time. Custom-fit and comfortable, they ensure your smile stays aligned and healthy long after braces or aligners come off.
Early Orthodontics
Early orthodontic evaluations help identify developing issues before they become more complex. Phase I treatment creates space, guides growth, and supports healthy development to simplify future orthodontic care for children.
Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teens; adults can achieve long-lasting results too. With discreet options like clear aligners or ceramic braces, orthodontics becomes comfortable, convenient, and confidence-boosting.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable trays to straighten teeth with precision and comfort. With no brackets, wires, or food restrictions, it’s a flexible solution for patients who want a nearly invisible treatment experience.
