Early Interception

Address alignment issues early
  • Palate Expander

    A palate expander is an orthodontic device used to widen the upper jaw. It is often recommended for children whose upper jaw is too narrow, which can lead to crowded teeth or a crossbite. The gradual expansion of the palate creates the necessary space for teeth to align correctly. This treatment improves bite and oral function and enhances facial symmetry. 

  • Partial Braces

    Partial braces address specific dental issues by applying braces to only some teeth rather than the entire mouth. This treatment is ideal for patients with minor misalignments, those needing corrections in a particular area, or young patients whose permanent teeth are still coming in. Partial braces can be a quicker and less invasive option than full braces.  

  • Habit Appliances

    Habit appliances are orthodontic devices used to help children break harmful oral habits, such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. These habits can cause significant dental problems if left unchecked. Habit appliances, like thumb guards or tongue cribs, are designed to discourage these behaviors, promoting healthier oral development, and preventing potential orthodontic issues. 

Traditional Treatments

Reliable options for every smile
  • Clear Aligners

    Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution for straightening teeth without metal brackets and wires. These custom-made, transparent trays fit snugly over your teeth and gradually shift them into place. Clear aligners are removable, providing the ultimate convenience for eating, brushing, and flossing during orthodontic treatment. This modern orthodontic treatment is an excellent choice for those seeking a discreet and comfortable way to achieve a perfect smile.

     

    At Embrace Orthodontics, we are a  Platinum Invisalign Provider and also offer Spark Dental Aligners. Both of these systems use cutting-edge technolgy to make orthodontic treatment as comfortable and convientent as possible. Dr. Cardenas will go over your clear aligner options during a consultation to find the best fit for you. 


  • Metal Braces

    Metal braces are the most common orthodontic treatment used to correct oral misalignments. Made from high-quality stainless steel, metal braces attach brackets to each tooth and connect them with an archwire. Over time, the wire applies gentle pressure to move teeth into their optimal positions. Metal braces are highly effective for treating a comprehensive range of orthodontic issues, providing reliable and precise results. 

  • Retainers

    Retainers are custom-made orthodontic devices worn after braces or clear aligner treatment to maintain the new position of your teeth. Wearing retainers as prescribed by your orthodontist is crucial to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Fixed and removable retainers are available based on your specific needs and lifestyle. 

Specialty Treatments

Cutting-edge treatments for exceptional results
  • Self-Ligating Braces

    Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip mechanism instead of traditional elastic ties to hold the archwires in place. This design reduces friction and allows teeth to move more freely, often providing shorter treatment timelines and fewer adjustments. Self-ligating braces are available in both metal and clear options, offering an efficient and comfortable solution for various misalignments. 

Cosmetic Dentistry

Perfect your newly aligned smile
  • Teeth Whitening

    After completing orthodontic treatment, teeth whitening can be the perfect finishing touch to your new smile. Orthodontic devices can sometimes leave minor stains or discoloration. Our professional teeth whitening treatments safely and effectively remove these imperfections to help you achieve your best smile.   

  • Gum Contouring

    Post-orthodontic treatment, gum contouring can refine and perfect your smile. Orthodontic adjustments can sometimes highlight uneven gum lines or excessive gum tissue. Gum contouring reshapes and sculpts your gums to create a balanced, symmetrical appearance to compliment your newly aligned smile. This minimally invasive procedure enhances the overall aesthetics of your smile to ensure your teeth and gums are in perfect harmony.

All four of my kids had braces here and even I did too! Very pleased with everything about this ortho experience. Dr. Cardenas made it possible for me to have straight teeth in a very short time. And without having to do any crazy dental procedures - like pull teeth, or wire my jaw. Plus I didn't feel weird at all for being an adult with braces. They treat all ages and genuinely care about everyone.

Tara P. Google Review

Dr. Cárdenas and his team are all extremely friendly and offer an outstanding service. It's really hard to find a dentist who takes the time to understand his patient's problems, and work out the best solution for them! He is extremely knowledgeable and provides an all-around great dental experience.

I have to say, my son got his braces done here and the experience was overwhelmingly amazing. Each check up was thorough and quick, and I’ll emphasize QUICK! They really seemed to care about his teeth/braces, and the process was all seamless. Great appointment times and the staff is always friendly and amazing. If my other children need braces, this is where I’m bringing them! My son’s teeth look awesome!! 

Peter S. Google Review

I had my braces done with Dr. Cardenas in 2009, pretty soon after he first opened the practice in Grayson, GA. It's now 2021, so 12 years later, and I still have beautiful straight teeth and wouldn't dare trust any other orthodontist with my smile.
