Through evidence-based treatment planning and digital orthodontic systems, we provide customized solutions designed to improve bite function, alignment, and overall oral health at every stage of life.

Metal & Ceramic Braces

Ceramic and metal braces offer the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more subtle appearance. These tooth-colored brackets are designed to correct crowding, spacing, and bite concerns while blending naturally with your smile.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gently move teeth into alignment. Nearly invisible and removable, Invisalign provides a flexible orthodontic option for teens and adults seeking a discreet alternative to braces.

LightForce Orthodontics

LightForce braces utilize advanced 3D printing technology to create fully customized brackets for each individual tooth. This digital approach enhances precision, improves efficiency, and supports highly personalized orthodontic outcomes.

Early Orthodontics

Early orthodontic treatment focuses on guiding jaw growth and addressing developing bite concerns in children. Identifying issues at the right time can reduce the need for more complex treatment in the future.

Teen Orthodontics

Teen orthodontic care is designed to align permanent teeth and correct bite development during critical growth years. We offer customized braces and Invisalign options tailored to active, busy teen lifestyles.

Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment for adults improves alignment, bite function, and long-term oral health. With modern options such as Invisalign and clear braces, adults can achieve a healthier, more confident smile at any age.

Everything about Whitewater Orthodontics deserves 5 stars; their office is clean and inviting, everyone you see from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out is friendly, they’re ridiculously efficient and helpful, and our kids actually get excited about their appointments. I even heard the staff singing and celebrating with another person who was getting their braces off and it was so cute, lol. Their whole vibe definitely centers around making their patients feel welcome and you feel that when you’re in there.

Susan K.
Was skeptical at first when my kids Dentist referred us to white water orthodontists. First visit was a consultation. Before we left the car I told my daughter to choose between them and her previous orthodontist clinic. Before the consultation was done she had made the choice. " mommy I love it here". As a mom I had done my own observation and from the start to the finish they were all friendly, professional and above all it just felt at home. Today we went back and the atmosphere was still the same. White water orthodontist clinic at Parkland gained another client Will be seeing you again soon. Continue with the great work y'all are doing

I had my braces for about 3 years & everyone who has worked on my teeth are beyond wonderful! Very nice and compassionate and educated! My teeth are straight and perfect!! I just need to get an implant for my missing tooth now! I have also had to bring my daughter with me for some appointments and they are so beyond nice to her! She’s 6 years old now and gets a token to be able to get a little toy out of the machine. Love this place and the people! Thank you all so much! I will happily recommend this office to any and everyone! Also, for my missing tooth they painted my retainer so it doesn’t look bad and that proves the Dentist cares!

Anna N.
I would like to express my gratitude to my orthodontist Dr Leavitt, for the professional approach and attentive attitude throughout the treatment with braces. From the very beginning, the doctor explained the treatment plan in detail, answered all questions and helped me get ready for the result. All procedures were carried out carefully and without unnecessary discomfort, the doctor was always interested in my well-being. I really liked that each visit was accompanied by clear explanations about the work done and further steps. Now, after removing the braces, I see a stunning result - my teeth are straight, my smile is beautiful and my self-confidence has only grown. Thank you very much for your professionalism, attention and care!
Kristina K.
On to our 3rd child being in braces with Whitewater Orthodontics and couldn't be happier
Desirae S.
I had such a great experience—everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming! The space was clean and beautifully maintained, which made me feel at ease right away. I believe her name was Charlene—she was especially kind and made me feel so comfortable, which meant a lot to me since I’m very self-conscious about my smile. I actually teared up when they told me I could be scheduled for braces as soon as the middle of next month. I had expected I might need extractions due to crowding, but they reassured me that likely won’t be necessary. I’m beyond excited to start this journey with them and can’t wait to come back for my braces!
Brigette B.
Great experience! We felt very welcomed and comfortable! Thank you for being great!

WHITEWATER ORTHO IS AWESOME! I’ve worked in healthcare for too many years to admit☺️ And dentistry forever. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and well treated than I was today. Dr. Leavitt and his team are so amazing, friendly, and professional. (Could I have a part time job please? Haha!) Take yourself and your family to Whitewater, you’ll be so glad you did!

Adina H.
Dr. Leavitt and his staff provide a pleasant and friendly atmosphere for their patients while providing excellent care. I highly recommend their practice to both children and adults!
Gina G.
My daughter was nervous about her first orthodontist appointment today. Right when we walked in, she got excited seeing her name on the neon board and we were greeted right away. Everyone was incredibly nice and off we went to a room for her consultation. After X-rays and pictures, we met Dr Levitt. He was so kind and gentle. At the end, my daughter got a gold coin to put the fun toy vending machine on the way out. It was the cherry on top. We had such a great experience and highly recommend it!
sarah Y.
I started going here when I was 14 and I have never loved staff more. I am 22 now and I still rave about it till this day. Everyone is so welcoming and I recently had to return for a retainer replacement and I adore how people still remember you and the staff always goes above and beyond. My mother and I both got treatments here for years and I couldn’t recommend any place better.
Nash A.
