At Bowers Orthodontic Specialists, it's our mission to create beautiful, healthy, life-long smiles for our patients. Our doctors and highly trained team of orthodontic specialists work hard to craft specialized treatment plans to meet every patient's unique orthodontic needs, and we take the time to get to know every patient individually and help them feel at home during every visit. While traditional metal braces are still the most popular form of treatment, we're proud to offer a variety of treatment methods to fit your schedule and lifestyle.

Metal Braces

Ceramic Braces

Due to their inconspicuous appearance, they've become a popular option for working professionals and socially conscious teenagers alike. We're proud to use self-ligating ceramic brackets, eliminating the staining problems of other ceramic brackets.

Invisalign®

invisalignInvisalign is a revolutionary new orthodontic treatment that does away with metal wires and brackets altogether, instead relying on a series of clear, removable trays, called aligners, to straighten teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible and can easily be popped in and out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, meaning no one will know you're straightening your teeth and they come with none of the dietary restrictions of traditional braces.
