Traditional Braces
Smaller and more comfortable than ever before!
We use low-profile, rounded braces, and light forces so that your cheeks, tongue, and teeth are far more comfortable. Our braces come in clear, white gold, metal, and silver, and we can add in over a dozen different colors.
If you are looking for the latest in clear braces, metal braces, adult braces or teen braces, look no further than Lee Orthodontics.

Early Treatment
Early treatment, also known as Phase I treatment, often begins between the ages of 7 and 9.
Goals of early treatment may include correcting abnormal jaw development or creating space for permanent teeth. Dr. Janice Lee will carefully monitor your child’s growth and development and provide early treatment only when necessary.
Some children benefit from a “Phase 1” or early orthodontic treatment. While some teeth and bite issues can wait, others are important to address at an earlier age.
Dr. Janice Lee generally recommends early orthodontic treatment when:
- The problem will get worse if we wait
- We can treat the problem better and more efficiently now vs. later
- Growth will not correct the problem
- We are having social/emotional concerns related to our smile
- Not every child needs an early phase of orthodontic treatment!
Common early orthodontic treatments we provide:
