Braces
Traditional metal braces provide reliable, cost-effective teeth alignment for complex cases. Our customized bracket placement ensures optimal results while minimizing treatment time. Patients receive detailed care instructions to maintain oral hygiene during treatment.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners offer a discreet alternative for straightening teeth. This removable system allows greater flexibility for adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions without compromising treatment effectiveness.
Early Treatment
Phase I treatment addresses jaw development and bite issues in children aged 7-10. Early intervention creates space for permanent teeth and reduces future treatment complexity through specialized appliances.
Adult Treatment
We address unique adult concerns like gum health and existing dental work while correcting misalignment. Treatment options include lingual braces and clear aligners for professionals seeking subtle solutions.
Retention
Custom retainers maintain post-treatment alignment. We provide both removable and fixed options with long-term care guidance to preserve your investment in a straight, healthy smile.

I got my braces off today and I'm really going to miss seeing everyone at the office every few weeks! In the middle of my treatment I moved 10 hours away and I made the decision to travel to my appointments just so I could keep with their practice. I have not regret it one day! They're the BEST office you could go to filled with the kindest hearts! I wouldn't trust anyone else but Dr. Udouj and his team! Thank you for straightening my teeth & making me feel wonderful.

Our daughter's retainer broke while at UAFS, coming back to NWA to see our orthodontist would have taken a few weeks and a couple of trips. The sweet lady at Dr. Udouj's office found time the next day for an appointment. Dr. Udouj was highly recommended to us and having had the appointment already, my daughter is very pleased. Turn around time to receive retainer is soon and no trips home.
