What we do
How we straighten teeth
Four ways to start, from the three tools we use to the adults who come in after the teen years. Dr. Goel picks the one that fits your teeth.
Braces
Brackets and a wire, adjusted every few weeks. Metal or clear brackets, and your choice of elastic colors.
About bracesClear aligners
Clear trays you take out to eat. You change to a new tray on a schedule Dr. Goel sets.
About alignersRetainers
The step after braces: what you wear so your teeth stay where they are.
About retainersAdults
Straightening teeth at any age, with the same plan, written fee and schedule.
Treatment for adults
What we don't do
What we send elsewhere
We straighten teeth. Other dental care stays with your regular dentist.
Cleanings and fillings
Keep seeing your regular dentist for cleanings and checkups while you have braces.
Tooth removal
If a tooth needs to come out, we tell you and your dentist or an oral surgeon does it.
Sedation
We don't use sedation. Putting on braces doesn't call for numbing, and if you're nervous, tell us and we'll go slowly.
Not sure which one?
You don't have to pick before you come. Dr. Goel explains the options at the first visit.
