You Deserve

a Confident Smile

A beautiful smile brings out the best in you.

 

It’s not just about ‘straightening teeth’ — it’s about getting more joy out of life, enhancing your confidence, and loving the way you feel every time you look in the mirror.

 

We’ll tailor a plan that fits your life perfectly — whether it’s about getting results fast, choosing the most convenient path, or maintaining your smile aesthetic throughout treatment.

 

If a new smile is something you’ve always wanted, now’s the time to get started.

 

You deserve it.

Your Smile, Your Style

Choose between clear aligners, or advanced clear braces or metal braces to suit your lifestyle. 

 

We use high-efficiency self-ligating braces that don’t use rubber bands, which reduces discomfort, makes the tooth movement process more efficient, and requires fewer office visits than traditional braces!

 

With clear aligners, you can smile confidently from day one. They’re virtually-invisible, removable, convenient for any lifestyle — and custom-designed just for you.

Your Complimentary First Visit Includes…

  • Comprehensive orthodontic exam: digital x-rays, photos and digital scans with the iTero® Element intraoral scanner
  • One-on-one consultation with Dr. Lu or Dr. Schneider
  • Cost and insurance review to create a custom payment plan that suits your budget
  • Personalized treatment plan designed just for you
  • Great vibes + 5 star care — at every visit

Big Smiles

Start Small

Parents, age 7 is the magic number for your little one’s first ortho check-up! 

 

Through early intervention, we can help prevent the need for jaw surgery and tooth extractions, minimize treatment time and cost, and ensure that your child’s smile blossoms as it should.

 

Not every child needs orthodontics, but those who do can benefit for a lifetime — and age 7 is the right time to find out. 

 

We take having fun very seriously at FIO! With contests and games, iPads and a coffee bar, our goal is to create a relaxed yet entertaining space for your little one, with a premium experience for you.
