Orthodontic Services Available to Lake Hefner Residents
Orthodontic Associates provides modern braces, Invisalign clear aligners, bite correction, and Vivera Retainer Subscriptions. Each service is designed to meet the unique needs of every patient in the area. Treatment plans cover kids, teens, and adults at every stage, from first evaluation through long-term retention.
Modern Braces
Today’s modern braces have come a long way from the bulky metal brackets of the past. The options are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient. We offer:
- Traditional metal braces with low-profile brackets that sit closer to the tooth surface
- Clear ceramic brackets for patients who want a more discreet look
- Self-ligating systems, which use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties and can reduce overall treatment time
Braces work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to shift teeth into proper alignment. Slow, controlled movement keeps roots healthy, leading to a strong, beautiful smile.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. They’re removable, making eating and brushing easier than with traditional modern braces. Our orthodontists provide Invisalign treatment for adults who want a professional-looking option, teens with active lifestyles, and kids who qualify for early intervention.
Invisalign Virtual Care, a remote monitoring system that lets orthodontists track tooth movement through smartphone photos, can mean fewer in-office visits. That’s a real time-saver for busy families near Lake Hefner.
Bite Correction and Specialized Treatment
Not every orthodontic concern is about straightening teeth. At Orthodontic Associates, we also treat overbites, underbites, crossbites, jaw alignment issues, TMJ-related problems, and crowding or spacing concerns. Palatal expanders help create space in growing mouths, often reducing the need for tooth extraction later. These options give families in the area access to specialized care without traveling far.
Vivera Retainer Subscription
After treatment, keeping your results matters. The Vivera Retainer Subscription at Orthodontic Associates ensures you always have fresh, well-fitting retainers to maintain your new smile long after treatment ends.
Your New Smile Assessment
Every treatment plan starts with a free consultation. Your New Smile Assessment includes x-rays and a thorough evaluation at no cost to you. It’s the first step toward seeing your new smile.

Why Do Lake Hefner Families Choose Orthodontic Associates?
Choosing an orthodontist involves more than comparing prices. Here’s why families in the area consistently choose Orthodontic Associates.
Board-Certified Orthodontists with Real Credentials
The orthodontists at Orthodontic Associates hold certification from the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction that requires additional training and examination beyond dental school. They’re also members of the American Association of Orthodontists. You’re getting care from specialists who have dedicated their careers to orthodontics. That matters.
Technology You’ll Actually Use
Your orthodontist can check your progress through your smartphone using Invisalign Virtual Care, saving you trips to the office. Instead of messy impressions, you get Digital 3D Smile Scans that produce quick, accurate digital models of your teeth. These are tools you’ll use during treatment, not marketing buzzwords.
Flexible Scheduling and Treatment for Every Age
Families near Lake Hefner are busy. We get it. Appointment times work around school, work, and life. The team works hard to minimize wait times and keep your visits efficient. A six-year-old getting an early evaluation and a 45-year-old considering Invisalign for the first time have very different needs, and kids, teens and adults all receive treatment plans built around their specific goals.
A Comfortable, Welcoming Office
Nobody wants orthodontic treatment to feel stressful. When you walk in for the first time, the front desk team knows your name and walks you through what to expect. You can ask questions, voice concerns, and take your time deciding. A new smile changes everything, and that process should feel positive from the very first visit to the last retainer check.
