Traditional Silver
These are the most common type of braces. Made of nickel-free high-grade steel, they are much smaller and more comfortable than those in the past. We offer a variety of colored elastics which are changed at every appointment.
Clear Or Ceramic Braces
Clear Braces are made of porcelain or ceramic. The brackets are tooth colored and are less noticeable than conventional brackets made of metal because they blend in with the color of the teeth. They work the same way as metal braces. Many patients that want a beautiful smile, but want to make their braces less noticeable, choose this option for treatment.
Lingual
Lingual Braces are placed on the rear of your teeth, hiding the majority of the metal parts. They are virtually invisible from the front, making them an excellent option for patients who wish to avoid the highly-visible traditional braces. Lingual Braces can realign your teeth just as effectively as traditional braces but without the aesthetic worries.
Invisalign / Clear Aligners
Clear appliances (such as Invisalign®) use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing those aligners because they are invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.

What people are saying about us
Since our children have been patients of Dr. Bauer’s, our family is very pleased with the service we receive. After taking my child to another orthodontist for many years, and with one child still in braces, we were a little nervous when we needed to change doctors. Dr. Bauer and the office sta have been wonderful throughout this transition and are highly recommended by our family!

As an adult seeing Dr. Bauer and as a parent of a patient I really appreciate how well the office is run. Dr. Bauer has really taken the time to explain the treatment process regarding the issues I have had with the joint in my jaw bone. He is thorough and I am already seeing more progress in just the past three months than I did with years of previous orthodontist care.

I have had jaw pain for the last 10 years. The pain continued to worsen and I couldn’t sleep or eat on my right side due to my jaw pain. Dr. Bauer was so helpful in explaining what the problem was. It has been only three weeks with my splint and my jaw is 100% better. Dr. Bauer’s expertise and skills are excellent for patients with jaw and joint problems. I am very confident in his treatment.
