Care for All Ages

At Ames Orthodontics in Ames, Iowa, we provide personalized orthodontic care for patients of every age.

We begin evaluations as early as age 7 to guide jaw development and prevent more complex issues.

Our teen-focused treatments, including ceramic braces and clear aligners, help adolescents achieve confident smiles.

Whether it’s Invisalign^® or discreet clear aligners, we offer flexible options tailored for busy adult lifestyles.

Braces

Traditional and ceramic braces remain the most effective method for correcting complex orthodontic issues.

Our modern bracket systems provide comfortable, predictable results for patients of all ages.

Durable and cost-effective, metal braces use brackets and wires to gently shift teeth into proper alignment.

Ceramic braces blend with your tooth color for a less noticeable option without sacrificing effectiveness.

Clear Aligners

Clear, removable aligners use precise 3D scanning to shift teeth subtly and effectively.

Enjoy eating, brushing, and flossing without brackets while achieving your best smile.

As the clear alternative to braces, Invisalign aligners offer custom-fit trays for comfortable, nearly invisible treatment.

Clarity aligners combine strength, transparency, and exceptional fit for precise tooth movement and a discreet orthodontic solution.

Retainers

Maintain your new smile with custom retainers designed for comfort and long-term stability.

Choose from bonded or removable options, with guidance to ensure lasting results.

Palatal Expanders

We offer palatal expanders to widen the upper jaw, creating space and improving bite alignment. This gentle appliance can help guide proper growth and make future orthodontic treatment easier.

Advanced Technology

We leverage cutting-edge digital tools to enhance precision, comfort, and treatment predictability.

Fast, radiation-free scans capture precise 3D images for accurate treatment planning and aligner design.

Cone beam CT delivers detailed 3D X-ray images for precise diagnosis with minimal radiation exposure.

High-resolution intraoral and facial imaging ensures precise records and treatment visualization.
