Start your orthodontic treatment right away!
We offer immediate treatment initiation. Choose between same-day braces or aligners at your consultation. Get same-day braces on the spot, or we’ll scan for aligners* during your first appointment.
*Note: Aligner delivery takes approximately four weeks from the aligner scan for personalized treatment planning and aligner manufacturing.
The importance of regular dental visits for orthodontic success
At Blue Lake Orthodontics, good oral health is a must—candidates for braces, clear aligners, or any orthodontic procedure must not have untreated cavities or gum disease. Patients must visit their dentist regularly to ensure optimal oral health and the best results for their orthodontic journey.

Our orthodontic services are for all ages
From children to adults, discover the range of orthodontic treatments we offer to cater to your unique needs and ensure a beautiful, confident smile for patients of all ages.
Clear Braces
Experience discreet orthodontic treatment with clear braces. Our transparent, low-profile braces provide an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal braces, allowing you to smile with confidence.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are a trusted and effective choice for correcting orthodontic concerns. They are especially suitable for complex cases and offer a time-tested approach to achieving a straight and healthy smile.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners provide a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. These custom-made, removable trays offer comfort and convenience while discreetly aligning your smile.
Surgical Orthodontics
Phase 1 Early Treatment
Specialized orthodontic care for kids to guide jaw growth, create space, and prevent future issues.
Retainers
Maintain your perfect smile with custom-made retainers. After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers help keep your teeth in place, preventing shifting and ensuring long-lasting results.
Lock in your smile: retainers for lasting results
- Clear Retainers (Essix): Custom-made, nearly invisible, and precisely fitted for comfort.
- Fixed Retainers: Bonded for long-term stability—eligibility depends on bite alignment and oral health.
- Lab-Fabricated Retainers: Durable Hawley retainers for those who prefer an adjustable option.
- Night Guards: Protect against grinding and clenching while you sleep.
- Sleep Appliances: For eligible patients, some sleep devices can also function as retainers.

FAQ about orthodontic treatment
When is the right time to consider orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is commonly recommended during adolescence when most permanent teeth erupt. However, people of all ages can benefit from orthodontic services, and it's never too late to seek treatment.
How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?
Common signs that indicate a need for orthodontic treatment include crowded or misaligned teeth, spacing, crossbites, underbites, overbites, protruding teeth, impacted teeth, thumb sucking or tongue thrusting habits, speech issues, sleep and airway problems, jaw pain, and overall facial esthetic concerns related to jaw discrepancies. A consultation with our team can help determine specific treatment needs.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically last?
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
Can I eat normally with braces or aligners?
“Dr. Z did my niece’s braces. She had a complicated case. She did great with her braces. They worked with her to make sure she understood all that was going on and made the process as easy as possible for her. I recommend Dr. Z and her team to anyone looking for an orthodontist. My niece just can’t stop smiling.”
