About Us: 

Dr. Craig Smith and his team at North Shore Orthodontics want to provide you and your family with a unique, positive orthodontic experience! Our goal is to make you feel completely at ease, knowing that you are receiving the best of care. We have a reputation as a caring family-oriented practice where everyone is welcome.

Services Offered: 

* Invisalign - A revolutionary system that utilizes 3-D computer graphics to design and manufacture customized clear appliances called “aligners.” These are invisible, removable and comfortable.

* Invisalign Teen - A system using the same technology as the adult aligners, but with special features. These include blue wear-indicators to gauge wear time, a special design to compensate for the growth of new teeth and molars and six free replacement aligners.

* Traditional braces - The most common type of braces made with high-grade stainless steel.

* Clear, ceramic braces – Braces made of clear material, making them less visible on the teeth. 

Facility:

Our office is designed for patient, parent and doctor interaction with an open-style treatment area. This means family and friends are encouraged to accompany patients to their chairs! We also have a waiting room designed with you in mind, featuring televisions and video game consoles for our younger patients. Our digitally-oriented office makes things like x-rays and impressions much easier and cuts down on exposure to radiation. Don’t forget to ask about our patient contests and events!
