What Orthodontic Services Are Available to Auburn Patients?
Auburn-area families can access braces, Invisalign®, family orthodontics, emergency orthodontic care, and virtual consultations at Montgomery, Prattville & Pike Road Pediatric Dentistry & Family Orthodontics. Our Montgomery office serves patients of all ages, from kids getting early treatment to adults straightening their smiles for the first time. Here’s a closer look at what we offer.
Braces for Kids, Teens, and Adults
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most reliable ways to correct crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and more. They work. At our Montgomery office, Dr. Rob Owen and Dr. Frank Litchfield use the latest techniques to keep treatment efficient and deliver results for patients at any age.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Prefer something more discreet? Invisalign® uses a series of clear plastic aligners custom-made for your teeth. Thanks to the clear nature of the aligners, most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them unless you come right out and tell them. Plus, you can eat whatever you want since the aligners are removable. No food restrictions, no broken brackets to worry about. Our orthodontists at Montgomery, Prattville & Pike Road Pediatric Dentistry & Family Orthodontics can help you decide if Invisalign® is right for you.
Family Orthodontics
Got multiple kids who need braces? We make it easy. Our doctors work closely with you to coordinate visits for siblings at different treatment stages. That means fewer trips and more convenience for busy Auburn families.
