Orthodontic Treatment Designed for You
Modern options, advanced technology, and the highest standard of care
At Glow Orthodontics, we provide comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. Whether the goal is improving alignment, correcting bite issues, or creating a more confident smile, every treatment plan is thoughtfully designed around the individual.
Dr. Bachour develops each treatment plan personally, combining advanced digital technology with extensive clinical expertise to deliver precise, customized care. Because no two patients are alike, no two treatment plans are alike. Our practice is fully digital—from the initial scan to the final retainer—allowing for greater accuracy, more efficient appointments, and treatment decisions guided by detailed, high-quality data. If you're exploring orthodontic treatment and aren't sure where to begin, a complimentary consultation is the perfect first step.
All Ages
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At that point, enough permanent teeth have come in for Dr. Bachour to identify any developing concerns and decide whether early intervention makes sense. Many children will not need treatment right away, but early evaluations allow us to monitor growth and plan ahead. When the timing is right, we create a straightforward path forward for your child.
Braces
Metal braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic tools available, and today's brackets are smaller, lower-profile, and more comfortable than what most adults remember from their own treatment. They give Dr. Bachour a high level of control over tooth movement, which is particularly useful for complex cases where precision matters most. Patients who choose metal braces also get to pick new colored bands at every visit, which always makes treatment a little more exciting.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, removable trays to gradually move your teeth into the right position. Because they come out for eating, drinking, and brushing, treatment fits into daily life without a lot of disruption. They are a popular option for adults and teens who want a discreet path to a straighter smile.
At Glow Orthodontics, Dr. Bachour designs every clear aligner case using advanced digital planning technology that maps out your full treatment before a single tray is made. You know exactly where your smile is headed before you start. Most patients swap to a new set of trays every one to two weeks and check in with Dr. Bachour every eight to twelve weeks. Clear aligners work well for many cases, and when they are not the best fit, Dr. Bachour will let you know.
Expanders and Bite-Correcting Appliances
Expanders are orthodontic appliances used to gently widen the upper jaw, creating space for proper tooth and jaw development. They are most often recommended for growing children, where guiding development early can prevent more complex treatment later. Bite-correcting (functional) appliances come in various forms; they help guide development of the jaws and bite in growing children and adolescents.
At Glow Orthodontics, expanders and bite-correcting appliances are carefully customized to each patient's anatomy and goals. Dr. Bachour monitors progress closely throughout the process, adjusting the treatment plan as needed to support healthy, comfortable development. If an expander or bite-correcting appliance is the right option for your child, we will explain exactly what to expect and why.

Retainers
Retainers are the final step in orthodontic treatment. Once active treatment ends, teeth will shift over time without something holding them in place. Wearing your retainer as directed is what protects everything you worked for.
At Glow Orthodontics, we provide customized retainers designed for comfort and durability. Dr. Bachour will recommend the right type based on your specific case and lifestyle. If you have questions about retention or need a replacement retainer, our team is here to help.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is a fast, effective way to brighten your smile after orthodontic treatment or as a standalone enhancement. At Glow Orthodontics, we offer professional whitening options designed to safely lift stains and discoloration for a noticeably brighter result.
Finishing up braces or aligner treatment and want to complete the look? Or simply ready for a fresher, more confident smile? Whitening is a simple way to make your smile glow. Ask our team about options at your next visit.
Technology
Our advanced intraoral scanner creates fast, highly accurate 3D digital models of your teeth in minutes, with no messy traditional molds required. The result is a detailed, precise foundation for your treatment plan and a significantly more comfortable experience at the start of care. Digital impressions also allow us to show you a simulation of your expected results before treatment begins.
