Our Services

Braces

Traditional braces are the tried and true way to a beautiful smile. We have traditional silver or champagne gold braces with a variety of beautiful color ties at each visit.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners can straighten out most malocclusions without any metal in your mouth. They are very comfortable and look great.

Retainers

The most important part of orthodontic treatment is arguably the retention. At Thrive, we offer different retainer options to keep your teeth beautiful and aligned.
