Face-Focused Care

Dr. Kelson specializes in Face-Focused Orthodontics. This means he dedicated extra years of schooling to the bone development of jaws, cheeks and facial structure along with study on maximizing individual aesthetic facial balance. Basically, he can straighten your teeth into alignment awesomeness, and work magic on the unique characteristics of your bone structure to maximize your facial beauty and attractiveness.

Traditional Braces

Metal/traditional braces are still the most popular type of braces, and due to advanced technology and methods, they are more comfortable than ever before and all the fun colors make these a popular choice!

Clear Braces

Clear/ Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses a custom-made series of clear, comfortable aligners made to wear over teeth. Simply insert in a new set of aligners every two weeks, and the teeth gradually shift into place.

Invisalign Teen aligners are a perfect fit for you or your teen’s lifestyle, because aligners are:

  • Clear
  • Removable (so there are no food or sports activity restrictions)
  • Comfortable
  • Durable
  • Customized just each patient

Face-Focused Orthodontics

Dr. Kelson specializes in Face-Focused Orthodontics. What is this, you ask? This means he dedicated years of extra schooling to the bone development of jaws, cheeks and facial structure, to maximize individual aesthetic facial balance.  Basically, he can straighten your teeth into alignment awesomeness, and work magic on the unique characteristics of your bone structure to maximize your beauty and attractiveness.  He is able to create a balanced profile, a fuller lip line, a reduction in the appearance of gum tissue, soften wrinkles and fine lines, improve bone structure and all the while, straighten your teeth. Faces and smiles are truly his art.  Dr. Kelson loves his work and our patients love the results.

He is able to accomplish these feats in a myriad of ways, through Traditional Braces, Invisalign, and Accelerated Orthodontics, often using a combination of these treatments to create his amazing results. In fact, Dr. Kelson is one of the pioneering orthodontists whose orthodontic research is the basis for these new techniques being used in modern orthodontic practice.

Bracelift

Have you ever noticed that your lips and cheeks are resting on your teeth and jaws? The position of your teeth can have a surprising effect on the smoothness of your skin around your mouth and cheeks. Dr. Kelson obtained additional years of study and expertise in facial balance and bone structure to produce beautiful, symmetrical results.  Often, correcting poorly aligned teeth and broadening the smile will give the lips and cheeks additional support, reducing wrinkles and fine lines.  Subtler than a surgical face lift, a ‘Brace Lift’ can improve the fullness and appearance of your skin.  Many of our adult patients tell us they look younger, feel better, and smile more in their daily lives. They absolutely love the results of Dr. Kelson’s work. We couldn’t agree more!
