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.

I realized I never got around to leaving a review, even though I completed my orthodontic treatment in April 2026. Better late than never! 😅 I had an excellent experience with the entire team. From the very first consultation, everyone was professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. They took the time to explain every step of my treatment, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood what to expect. The office is always clean, organized, and appointments run on time. The staff is welcoming and genuinely cares about their patients. Throughout my treatment, I felt confident that I was receiving high-quality care, and the results exceeded my expectations. One thing I learned from my own experience is that achieving great results also requires commitment on the patient’s part. Following the treatment plan, wearing your appliances as instructed, and keeping up with your appointments makes a big difference. In my case, staying committed was an important part of achieving the smile I wanted. I highly recommend this orthodontic office to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and professional team. Thank you to the entire team for helping me achieve a healthier, more confident smile!

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.

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
