Treatments for All Ages
We're proud to offer excellent orthodontic care to patients of all ages. It is a common misconception that orthodontic care is only for children and teens.

Whether you're looking for traditional braces, gold or clear braces, or Invisalign clear aligners, we have various treatment options to suit your needs.
Financing Options
At Southside Orthodontics, we understand that orthodontic treatment is an investment. We offer in-house financing, pay-in-full discounts, and third-party financing through LendingClub to make your treatment affordable. Our goal is to help you achieve the smile of your dreams while providing the highest level of patient care.
