We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, beautiful smile that you've always wanted.

Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible.
The cost of your orthodontic treatment will vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. Our staff will discuss with you the cost of your treatment and each available payment plan option, so that you can make the best choice for you and your smile. We will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before beginning treatment.
We understand your need to receive treatment in a practice where you feel comfortable, safe, and welcome. Please feel free to schedule an appointment, or stop by for a complete tour of our practice. You will get to meet our team, walk through our office and treatment areas, and learn more about the treatments we provide.
Orthodontic appliances can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position. This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth.

My experience with Dr. Stephen Colby and his staff has been nothing short of amazing! I was very nervous to get my braces done. The moment I walked in for my first visit I was greeted with GENIUNE smiles and a warm welcome. When Dr. Colby walked me through the process he was very supportive and respectful of my decisions. Ever since I‘ especially had my braces put in, my friends and family notice I smile even more. Dr. Colby is a genius! My smile looks amazing and this investment was worth every penny.
