Orthodontics
A Straighter Smile, Made Simple
We Offer Orthodontics at KP Dentistry!
Being born with a straight smile isn’t something you can control, but achieving one is! With effective orthodontic treatment, our dentists help guide your teeth into proper alignment for the smile you’ve always wanted. Best of all, orthodontic treatment is temporary, but the results can last a lifetime. While traditional orthodontics rely on metal brackets and wires, we offer Clear Aligner therapy with CandidPro or Invisalign®. Many of our patients love the flexibility, comfort, and discreet appearance of clear aligners compared to traditional braces.
CandidPro
Candid Clear Aligners include CandidMonitoring virtual check-ins, allowing you to track your progress and enjoy peace of mind from the comfort of home. Of course, our dentists are always happy to see you in person, but virtual monitoring provides added convenience and flexibility throughout your treatment. Dr. Palmer works closely with the KP Dentistry team to design your custom aligner trays using highly precise 3D digital scans taken right here in our office. Each set is fitted in person to ensure optimal comfort and effectivness. While CandidPro treatment can be completed in as little as 12 months, many patients begin noticing visible improvements in just a few weeks.
How CandidPro Works:
1) Start with our professional dentists to go over your treatment
2) We’ll call you when your aligners are ready. You’ll get your full set of aligners, your CandidMonitoring™ materials, and premium whitening foam.
3) CandidMonitoring™ check-ins: You’ll send your CandidPro doctor scans of your teeth every 14 days, ensuring your treatment stays on track.
Invisalign
If your teeth are misaligned and you’re interested in improving your smile, orthodontic treatment may be a great option for you. Orthodontics works by using braces to gradually guide teeth into proper alignment. Small brackets are placed on each tooth and connected by a wire, which applies gentle, consistent pressure over time to move teeth into their ideal positions. Treatment length varies based on your individual needs and smile goals.
Many of our teen and adult patients choose Invisalign®, the clear and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. We’re happy to offer both Invisalign® and traditional orthodontic options to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
Experience the Convenience of Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a modern way to straighten misaligned teeth without brackets, wires, or metal. This treatment uses a series of clear, custom made aligner trays that gently guide your teeth into proper alignment. Trays are typically changed every two weeks, and you will visit Dr. Palmer every six to eight weeks so we can evaluate your progress and ensure your treatment stays on track. Invisalign® aligners are worn day and night but can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
If you are interested in straightening your smile or are concerned about the movement of certain teeth, our team is here to help. We encourage you to schedule a consultation so we can assess your dental needs and recommend the treatment option that best fits your goals.

Airway dentistry is a passion of Dr. Palmer’s, which focuses on the structure of the mouth and impacts your breathing. Our dentists take a big picture look for sleep disordered breathing, including looking for signs of mouth breathing while you're sleeping. At KP Dentistry, our airway dental specialists seek to address the airway structure problems using oral appliances, orthodontics, and other minimally invasive dental treatments.

Yes, Dr. Palmer is a certified Botox® provider and can use this treatment method to reduce or eliminate TMJ symptoms. Rising in popularity, Botox® is injected into the facial muscles and works to temporarily reduce muscle activity, helping to relieve jaw tension.
