At Metropolitan Orthodontics, every patient is treated as a valued member of the practice family. This is not a setting where people and appointments are rushed. Dr. Nelson and her team take the time to get to know each patient and learn what they hope to achieve through orthodontic treatment. 

Options include traditional braces, clear braces, tray aligner systems, accelerated braces, and much more. Both children’s orthodontics and adult orthodontics are available because no one is too old to enhance their smile.  

Younger patients love the reward system for keeping up with dental hygiene and arriving on time for appointments. The team works hard to make visits both fun and productive.
