Crooked teeth, gaps, and bite problems affect more than your smile. They affect how you chew, speak, and clean your teeth every day. At Cambridge Dental Group, our orthodontic services give you a straighter, healthier smile with treatment plans tailored to your schedule and goals.
Our team brings years of training to every case. We treat children, teens, and adults, and we explain each step so you always know what to expect from your treatment.
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects misaligned teeth and jaws. It treats issues like overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Straight teeth are easier to clean, which lowers your risk of cavities and gum disease. A correctly aligned bite also reduces strain on your jaw and prevents uneven wear on your teeth.
At Cambridge Dental Group, we assess your bite, jaw alignment, and tooth position before recommending a treatment plan. We match you with an option that fits your daily routine and your budget.
Watch for these signs in yourself or your child. They point to a bite or alignment issue our team can correct.
If any of these describe you or your child, schedule a consultation with our team. We'll examine your teeth and jaw and walk you through your options.
Every smile is different, so we offer several treatment paths to fit your needs, age, and lifestyle.
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to shift your teeth into place. You switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks. Dr. Perle holds Diamond Pro Provider status with Invisalign, a distinction earned by dentists with extensive experience and training in the system. This status places him among the top providers in the field.
Invisalign Teen is designed for younger patients who need extra support and structure during treatment. It includes built-in wear indicators that let you and your teen track how consistently the aligners are worn each day. The system also comes with a set of replacement aligners included, so a missing or lost tray doesn't delay your teen's progress or push back their treatment timeline.
Teeth become crooked because they erupt at an angle rather than upright, which leaves the roots tilted as well. Traditional braces move the crown first and the root second, often requiring two years of treatment. Fastbraces® uses patented triangular brackets that move the crown and root together from the start, often delivering results in about a year, sometimes just a few months, with less sensitivity.
We recommend scheduling your child's first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At this stage, your child still has a mix of baby and adult teeth, which allows us to catch developing bite problems early, while the jaw is still growing. Identifying issues at this age often means simpler, shorter treatment later on and can help guide proper jaw development before problems become more complex.
Your treatment moves through four clear stages, from your first exam to your final retainer fitting.
We review your teeth, jaw, and bite during your first visit. We take digital X-rays and detailed images to get a complete picture of your alignment, which helps us identify issues and plan treatment that fits your specific case.
We sit down with you to discuss which option fits your needs, whether that's Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, or traditional braces. We walk you through the expected timeline, cost, and what your daily routine will look like during treatment.
You wear your aligners or braces as directed at home and throughout your day. We schedule regular check-ins so our team can track your progress, make adjustments as needed, and keep your treatment on track toward your final results.
Once your teeth reach their final position, we fit you with a custom retainer to keep your smile in place. Wearing it as instructed protects your results and prevents your teeth from shifting back over time.

We recommend a first evaluation by age seven. At this age, your child still has a mix of baby and adult teeth, which helps us spot developing issues early.
Treatment length depends on your case. Minor corrections with Invisalign may take six months to a year. More complex cases with traditional braces often take eighteen months to two years.
Invisalign works well for mild to moderate alignment issues, including crowding, gaps, and some bite problems. For more complex cases, traditional braces offer greater precision. Dr. Perle will recommend the option that matches your specific case during your consultation.
You may feel mild pressure or soreness for a few days after adjustments or a new set of aligners. This feeling fades as your teeth settle into their new position.
Yes. Your retainer holds your teeth in their new position after treatment ends. Skipping your retainer allows your teeth to shift back over time.
