OUR SERVICES

At both of our Louisville-area locations, Dr. Garner will create a customized treatment plan just for you. We are proud to be your local orthodontist offering traditional braces, clear aligners and early orthodontic treatment.

TRADITIONAL BRACES

Stainless steel brackets are what most orthodontists offer and what has been used since the 1980’s. They are cemented onto each individual tooth with bonding material and linked together with metal wires. American Orthodontics is our exclusive provider of metal brackets. Those who are treated with traditional metal brackets, have their braces placed using Digital Indirect Bonding System (DIBS) which uses AI to determine placement of brackets onto the teeth.

CLEAR ALIGNERS

Both of our clear aligner options, Invisalign and Spark, offer a discreet, comfortable, and convenient solution to straightening your teeth. Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. Crafted from smooth, medical-grade plastic, these aligners are virtually invisible. Choose the clear aligner option that best fits your budget and your lifestyle!

EARLY ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

Many people wonder when their child should visit the orthodontist for the first time. One out of three kids needs early orthodontic treatment and the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic evaluation by age seven. If your child is not ready to begin treatment, we will monitor their growth for free until the right time comes.
