Children (Early) Treatment
-
Children Should Be Seen By An Orthodontist by Age 7
Both the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists recommend that all children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
Early visits allows orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. Not everybody needs early orthodontic treatment. Dr. Daly will evaluate every child to determine what is the best option.

Braces
Braces are a highly effective way to enhance the appearance of your smile and improve the alignment of your bite. Braces are carefully bonded to your teeth and connected by a wire that applies gentle, controlled pressure to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
Getting your braces on is a straightforward process that typically takes about an hour, and we’ll guide you every step of the way. You’ll visit us every approximately every 6 weeks for adjustments.
The duration of your treatment depends on the complexity of your case and how much movement your teeth require.

Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is a cutting-edge alternative to traditional braces that’s designed specifically for growing mouths. Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place, all while being nearly invisible.
Invisalign Teen is specially tailored to accommodate the unique dental needs of teens. The aligners are removable, so your teen can continue to enjoy their favorite foods, brush, and floss normally. Additionally, as a teen’s teeth and jaw continue to develop, Invisalign Teen aligners are designed with features that help address these changes, ensuring the treatment adapts to their growing smile.
Adult Treatment

Invisalign
Invisalign is a discreet and comfortable option for adults looking to straighten their teeth without the visibility of traditional braces. Using a series of clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into place. These aligners are removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss as normal. Whether you’re correcting minor alignment issues or more complex concerns, Dr. Daly will create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve a confident, beautiful smile with minimal disruption to your daily life

Braces
At Daly Orthodontics, we offer a variety of braces options for adults looking to achieve a straighter smile. Traditional braces are a reliable and effective choice for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. For those seeking a more subtle look, we also offer Iconix gold braces, which provide the same benefits as metal braces but with a unique, stylish champagne gold finish. If aesthetics are a priority, clear ceramic braces are a great option—these tooth-colored brackets are less noticeable and blend in with your natural teeth while still offering effective treatment. Whichever option you prefer, Dr. Daly will guide you every step.
-
Retainers
Retainers are an essential part of orthodontic treatment, helping to maintain the new position of your teeth after braces or Invisalign.
Clear (Essix) Retainers: These are custom-made, transparent retainers, offering a discreet way to maintain your new smile. Hawley Retainers: The classic choice, Hawley retainers feature a thin metal wire and an acrylic base. Hawley retainers are highly durable and adjustable. Bonded Retainers are bonded to the back of your teeth and stay in place permanently (or until removal by a dentist), providing consistent support without the need for patient compliance.
-
Multidisciplinary Cases
The collaboration between different specialists in dentistry for a comprehensive restorative treatment approach is often referred to as "multidisciplinary care" or a "team-based approach." This involves orthodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and other dental professionals working together to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all aspects of a patient's dental needs. By combining their expertise, they ensure the most effective, holistic care for optimal results in both function and aesthetics.
-
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is a procedure used to correct more complex malocclusions (bite problems) that cannot be resolved with braces or Invisalign alone. This surgery involves repositioning the upper and/or lower jaw to improve the alignment of the teeth and bite, enhancing both function and facial appearance. It’s typically recommended for patients with severe bite issues, such as an overbite, underbite, or jaw misalignment, that affect chewing, speaking, or facial aesthetics.
Dr. Daly works closely with oral surgeons to develop a personalized treatment plan, ensuring the best possible outcome for both your oral health and smile.
