Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Our Diamond Plus providers create personalized treatment plans using advanced 3D imaging technology. Patients appreciate the removable design that allows normal eating and cleaning routines while achieving results in 12-18 months on average.
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces offer effective solutions for complex alignment issues. Our experienced orthodontists customize treatment plans for optimal results. Ceramic options provide aesthetic benefits while maintaining effectiveness, with average treatment durations of 18-24 months.
Virtual Consultation
Our virtual consultation service provides convenient initial assessments through digital submissions. Patients receive personalized recommendations and treatment estimates without visiting the office. This service helps determine eligibility for Invisalign or traditional braces options.
Oral Hygiene
We provide specialized oral hygiene products and guidance for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Our recommendations include interdental brushes, antibacterial rinses, and cleaning solutions to maintain optimal oral health during treatment.

Dr. Gierie and his staff have been 5 stars all the way. Both my daughters received their orthodontic work during Covid and they were exceptional in their covid precautions and scheduling changes throughout. I highly recommend them to all our friends.

Best orthodontist choice in Wilmington and surrounding area! I originally planned to have my misaligned bite corrected by my general dentist with Invisalign. Once I researched other Invisalign providers it was obvious that Dr. Gierie is the absolute best choice, even though slightly more expensive Gierie's Invisalign procedure is much more technically advanced than other local dentists offering the same service.
Three years later, I have a beautiful smile and so pleased with the result. The care, support and professionalism of Gierie's office staff cannot be surpassed. I am thrilled with my choice to go to Dr. Gierie for my orthodontic procedure.

Gierie and his staff are amazing! They made my Invisalign treatment so seamless. I am very picky about my teeth but they found a way to meet my every need and want. Very good about accommodating your schedule. I finished treatment while in college and they made it possible to do so, stress-free. I have been done with treatment for over a year now but they are still super friendly and helpful in providing advice when I give them a call. I am extremely thankful for the exceptional service I have received here!
