 Whether you’re a child, teenager, or adult, our practice has a wide range of solutions to address your orthodontic concerns. Dr. Shumate has years of experience helping patients achieve the alignment that improves their teeth’s appearance and function. He can even help your little ones avoid orthodontic problems.

Your options include:

  • Invisalign – Dr. Shumate is a silver-level Invisalign provider. That means that he has lots of experience in giving patients fantastic results from this popular treatment. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to shift your teeth into their proper place. Treatment takes about 12 to 18 months to complete.
  • Space Maintainers – Prevent future orthodontic issues by using space maintainers to stop problems created when your child loses a tooth too early. This device will help guide your child’s adult teeth into their proper positions, ensuring a well-aligned set of teeth as they get older.
  • Dentofacial Orthopedics – Our dentofacial orthopedic treatments focus on correcting jaw development and overall facial structure. It’s ideally done at a young age, but it has also been known to be helpful for adults. Dr. Shumate will discuss what’s involved and whether it’s right for you or your child.

If your alignment problems are purely cosmetic, veneers may be a good alternative to orthodontics. Veneers can close small gaps and correct minor overlaps, giving you amazing results in just two appointments. Dr. Shumate will review which treatment is right for your smile, advising you on what to expect throughout the entire process.
