Orthodontic Treatment Options
Expert, Family Orthodontics Near You
At Molen Orthodontics, we treat orthodontic issues with the most advanced techniques and technologies, creating a more comfortable, efficient treatment experience for every patient.
The result is the Molen Signature Smile — a natural-looking, curved, full smile that enhances your unique features, improves your quality of life and shines throughout our community.
Molen Smiles are designed to last a lifetime with our Free Retainers for Life promise.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early evaluation means more than straightening teeth — it’s about guiding proper jaw development and setting the foundation for lifelong balance, function, and confidence.
Children should receive their first orthodontic screening by age 7. Early detection allows us to monitor growth patterns and, when needed, plan timely interventions that support natural, beautiful results.
Even if no treatment is needed right away, we’ll continue to monitor your child’s development through our free growth and guidance program.
Teen Orthodontics
The teenage years are the perfect time to create a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. We customize every treatment to fit your teen’s needs, guiding natural growth to achieve stunning results — without headgear, and without extracting healthy teeth or considering jaw surgery in most cases.
With a choice of Damon™ braces for teens or Invisalign®, your family can find the perfect fit for your teen’s lifestyle.
Adult Orthodontics
You deserve a stunning, natural-looking smile that complements your unique features and helps you live a more confident life.
Whether you choose Invisalign® or Damon™ braces, your treatment will be personalized to bring out the best in your smile, your profile, and your overall appearance. It’s never too late to invest in a smile that feels as good as it looks.
Types of Braces
We offer the most advanced braces systems available — designed for greater comfort, fewer office visits, and a more discreet look.
From the sleek design of Damon™ metal braces to the nearly invisible appearance of Invisalign® clear aligners, our treatments are crafted to fit your lifestyle while delivering the natural, beautiful smile we’re known for.
No-Headgear Approach
Our doctors create stunning smiles without outdated orthodontic headgear. Taking a progressive approach, we use the Herbst appliance, custom-designed in our in-house lab, to replace the need for embarrassing headgear.
Our goal is to gently guide jaw development forward, preserving facial balance, supporting healthy airways, and delivering a beautiful smile with a more comfortable treatment experience.
Retainers
We want you and your family to maintain your beautiful Molen Signature Smiles for life after treatment! That’s why we offer Free Retainers for Life — and we really mean it.
Once your braces are removed, or you complete Invisalign treatment, you’ll be given your custom clear retainers to wear each night, and we’ll attach a permanent wire retainer to your lower teeth too.
If you lose your clear retainer, or it breaks, cracks or warps, we’ll replace it for free – no questions asked. That’s the Molen promise.
Dentofacial Orthopedics
Our doctors take orthodontic treatment a step further with dentofacial orthopedics — guiding the growth and development of the jaws and facial bones, not just straightening teeth.
By addressing the underlying structure early, we create a foundation for naturally balanced facial features, a healthy bite, and long-term stability. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced diagnostics, individualized planning, and progressive techniques to achieve results that enhance both appearance and function.
Orthodontic Appliances
Orthodontic appliances allow us to guide development of the jaw, palate, facial bones and teeth to create healthy smiles and a proportionate appearance without the need for more invasive treatments.
Every appliance we recommend is carefully selected to deliver the best possible outcome for your long-term health, function, and appearance.
Surgical Orthodontics
In most cases, we prevent the need for corrective jaw surgery, or surgical orthodontics, through early orthodontic treatment and comprehensive treatment plans. However, when the skeletal discrepancy is severe, or the orthodontic treatment begins after the bones are done developing, these cases may require surgical orthodontics.
Either way, we’ll be here to guide you through every step of the process and ensure that you feel comfortable.
