Orthodontics
Do crooked teeth or spaces in your smile make you feel like you need to cover your mouth? We can help! At River Rock Dental, we offer traditional metal braces as well as Invisalign® clear braces to straighten your teeth, correct your bite, or close gaps. Straight teeth not only restore pride in your smile, but they’re also easier to clean and care for, meaning that your oral health will improve drastically when your teeth are straightened.
Braces can be used to correct a number of issues with your teeth and bite, including:
Crossbite, where one or more upper teeth bite the inside of lower teeth
Overbite, where the upper front teeth stick out over the lower front teeth
Underbite, where bottom teeth project out past top teeth
Openbite, when there is an insufficient vertical overlap of teeth
Overjet, or a protrusion, when the lower teeth are too far behind upper front teeth
If you’ve been told you have any of these conditions, your teeth are crooked or overlapping one another, or there are gaps in your teeth you’d like to close, let the orthodontics experts at River Rock Dental help.
That’s Why We Promise

Orthodontics and Traditional Braces
Today, traditional metal braces are constructed of light nickel-titanium material, making them smaller and sleeker, more comfortable, and more attractive. Looking to add a little style to your smile? You can change the color of the ties on your braces at every follow-up appointment!
Invisalign®
Invisalign® Braces are one of the fastest growing trends in the dental industry. The system allows us to straighten the teeth of adults and teenagers without the look and feel of metal braces.
Invisalign® is the clear alternative to metal braces. In fact, there are more than 1.5 million Invisalign® wearers across the nation who have enjoyed all of the benefits that this system has to offer.
Invisalign is the only product out there that can give you all the benefits of metal braces, yet is so discreet, it can pass almost undetected.
