Have you been considering orthodontics to correct an overbite or straighten crooked teeth? If so, Dr. Prouty would like to talk with you about which orthodontic option may be the solution to your problem.
Many people have crowded or crooked teeth, protruding upper front teeth, or their upper and lower jaws don’t meet in the correct position. Orthodontic treatment is often the answer to correcting these and many other problems.
Orthodontic treatment will straighten the teeth or move them into a better position. This not only improves your appearance but also the way your teeth bite together, all the while making your teeth easier to clean.
When your teeth don’t meet correctly, a strain is placed on the muscles of the jaw, causing jaw and joint problems and in some cases headaches. Orthodontic treatment can help reduce the strain by correcting your bite.

We use Invisalign, Clear Correct and introducing our latest clear aligner technology, Sure Smile!
SureSmile integrates with our CEREC system giving us more control than ever before.
Dr. Prouty specializes in the Invisalign, Clear Correct, and the latest SureSmile systems: Each uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you.
These virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of. No metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth, and best of all, most people won't notice you're in treatment.
How it works:
- You'll need to wear the aligners at all times throughout the day/night, and only remove them to eat, brush and floss.
- You'll then change out your aligners every two weeks. Your teeth move little by little with each new aligner.
- Regular progress checks are made throughout the course of treatment.
- Results are often achieved in 3-6 months or up to 1 year depending on the amount of movement needed.
