Orthodontic Care from a Practice You Already Know

Keeping this care in the same office can make it easier to coordinate straightening with cleanings, fillings, crowns, and the rest of your general dental care.

Braces and Clear Aligners

The right approach depends on the way your teeth fit together, the movements needed, and whether removable trays are practical for your routine. We offer traditional braces and clear aligners, and we explain the advantages and limits of each before you decide.

Planning Your Treatment

Your consultation includes an examination of your teeth and bite and, when appropriate, digital scans or x-rays. Dr. Schmidt will explain what can reasonably be changed, how long treatment is expected to take, and what will be needed to maintain the result.

When a Referral May Be Better

Some complex tooth or jaw movements are better managed by an orthodontic specialist. If your examination shows that a referral is the safer or more predictable choice, we will tell you and help coordinate it.

Questions About Orthodontic Care

Do you treat both children and adults?

Yes. Whether treatment is appropriate depends on dental health, growth, and the movement required, not simply age.

Can I choose clear aligners instead of braces?

Sometimes. Clear aligners suit many cases, but not every movement or routine. Dr. Schmidt will show you which option fits your needs.

Who provides the treatment?

Dr. John Schmidt plans and provides the orthodontic care at Mountain View Family Dental as part of his general dental practice.
