Our Orthodontic Services

Orthodontic treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Some patients benefit from early intervention, some need comprehensive bite correction, and others want a more discreet option that fits comfortably into daily life. We offer a full range of orthodontic services across both locations so patients can begin with a plan that makes sense for their age, needs, and goals.

Treatment for Children and Teens

Early intervention can make a significant difference in your child’s smile journey. Cartier Orthodontics evaluates younger patients to identify potential concerns and determine the right time to begin treatment.

Children and teens often benefit from orthodontic treatment during their growth years. We offer traditional metal braces and clear braces options designed for younger patients, with age-appropriate approaches that support healthy smile development.

Adult Orthodontic Care

Adults seeking orthodontic treatment have more options than ever. Our practice proudly serves patients who want discreet treatment options that fit their professional lives and busy schedules.

Whether you missed orthodontic care as a teen or your teeth have gradually shifted over time, effective treatments are available to help you achieve the smile you want. We work with adults to find solutions that accommodate their lifestyles while delivering results.

Invisalign®

Clear aligners provide a removable option for teeth straightening. Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that fit over your teeth, offering flexibility for patients who want an alternative to traditional braces.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces use metal brackets and archwires to move teeth into proper alignment. This proven approach works well for a wide range of bite issues and remains one of the most effective treatments available for complex cases.

Clear Braces

Ceramic braces function similarly to traditional braces but use tooth-colored brackets that are less visible. Clear braces offer a more discreet option for patients who prefer reduced visibility during treatment.

Special Needs Orthodontics

Cartier Orthodontics is dedicated to providing orthodontic care for patients with special needs. Our knowledgeable team takes a gentle, patient-centered approach, allowing extra time and creating a stress-free experience whenever possible.

Cosmetic Tooth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is one of the most effective ways to enhance your smile quickly and safely. At Cartier Orthodontics, we offer whitening treatments that go beyond what over-the-counter products can deliver — using professional-grade solutions that remove years of staining from coffee, tea, wine, and everyday wear.

Whether you’re finishing orthodontic treatment or simply looking to brighten your smile, Dr. Cartier will recommend a whitening approach suited to your teeth’s sensitivity and goals. Every treatment is supervised and personalized, so you get meaningful results without compromising the health of your enamel.

Airway Solutions

Airway orthodontics focuses on how jaw development, tooth alignment, and bite relationships may affect breathing and overall oral function. For patients with concerns related to crowding, jaw development, or airway-focused evaluation, treatment planning can take both smile aesthetics and functional development into account.

Every treatment plan is customized to the individual, with recommendations based on clinical needs, age, lifestyle, and long-term goals. During your consultation, Dr. Cartier will explain which options make the most sense for your smile and why.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which orthodontic treatment is the best fit for me?

The right treatment depends on what needs to be corrected, how much control the smile requires, and what fits most comfortably into daily life. A consultation helps determine whether braces, Invisalign®, early treatment, or another approach makes the most sense.

Can one orthodontic office really treat both simple and more complex cases?

Yes. Orthodontic care can range from straightforward alignment needs to more involved bite, growth, or developmental concerns. What matters is having a treatment plan that is based on the specific case rather than assuming every smile needs the same approach.

Is it better to choose treatment based on appearance or based on what the smile needs?

Appearance matters, but it should not be the only factor. The best treatment choice comes from balancing appearance, bite function, long-term stability, and how the treatment will work in day-to-day life.
