Services
Thank you for your interest in our office. If you have a child or teen that has not been seen at our office, you can schedule an appointment below to have them evaluated at our office. If you don't see a date/time that works best, please use our "Request an Appointment" option and one of our team members will contact you with additional options.
This last treatment phase (or Phase II) usually begins a number of months and in some cases years after Phase I treatment, because we are waiting for 12-16 more permanent teeth to erupt. With Phase II treatment, fixed braces are used for typically 18 to 30 months and are usually much simpler and less costly if early (Phase I) treatment was indicated and carried out.
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment is the most common type of treatment that patients receive and completely corrects bite problems from start-to-finish in one stage. It is appropriate for young adults and children who have lost all or almost all of their baby teeth. In general, it involves use of braces on upper and/or lower teeth to shift or correct bite problems.
So you didn't get braces as a kid, or maybe you did, but you stopped wearing your retainers. Orthodontics can still help you achieve a great smile. You are never too old for braces. Nearly one million adults are wearing braces today, and about 25% of all orthodontic patients are adults. The biological process involved in tooth movement is the same in adults and children.
If the thought of wearing braces is all that is stopping you from getting the smile you've always wanted, we have some very good news for you. Invisalign(R) is a breakthrough in orthodontics that uses clear, virtually undetectable tooth aligners to gradually move your teeth without metal wires or brackets.

My daughter has finished Phase 1 and is nearing completion with Phase 2. We have had a wonderful experience with Dexter Orthodontics. Each and every staff member is kind and makes sure that the patient is comfortable, walking them through the steps of each procedure. We couldn’t recommend Dexter Orthodontics enough!

Dexter Orthodontics has been wonderful. Both Doctors and staff have been extremely professional, and always friendly. The additional safety precautions put in place during this pandemic have been very efficient and so appreciative. The office makes the visits fun for both of my kiddos, and any time we have needed to be seen between visits the staff has gotten us in quickly!
