Services
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment addresses dental issues in children to prevent future complications. This approach reduces the need for extensive interventions by correcting alignment problems during growth phases. Our team uses tailored strategies to ensure optimal development of the jaw and teeth, promoting long-term oral health and reducing treatment duration in later years.
Braces
Braces effectively correct misaligned teeth and bite issues for patients of all ages. We offer traditional metal and ceramic options, both designed to apply consistent pressure for gradual tooth movement. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, with regular adjustments ensuring steady progress toward a straighter, healthier smile.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces for mild to moderate dental concerns. These removable trays are custom-fitted to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. Patients appreciate the convenience of eating and cleaning without restrictions, alongside the nearly invisible appearance during treatment.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment after braces or aligner therapy. We provide fixed and removable options, ensuring long-term stability of your corrected smile. Proper use of retainers prevents relapse, preserving the investment made in achieving optimal dental positioning and bite function.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics addresses severe jaw irregularities that impact function and aesthetics. This treatment combines braces with corrective jaw surgery to improve bite alignment, speech, and facial symmetry. It is typically recommended for adults with skeletal discrepancies that cannot be resolved through conventional orthodontic methods alone.

Report
I cannot speak more highly of Tom's approach to practice and philosophy, I believe one of the most important aspects to healthcare (orthodontics in particular) is feeling a level of trust and transparency and I can say for sure that his staff and consultations give this feel immediately.

Report
I headed in to see Dr Peters and staff at Straight Orthodontics for a second opinion to correct an overbite and some reasonably crooked teeth in my mid 30's. Dr Peters applied braces and referred me to a surgeon for jaw surgery mid treatment. I couldn't be happier with the whole process and the end result.
