Itero Digital Orthodontic Impressions
The cutting edge impression technology allows us to take your impressions with no goopy, impression material. Your teeth and oral features are captured quickly and easily by a scanner and then digitally rendered for the ultimate in accuracy and speed.
Invisalign®
The latest in invisible braces, Invisalign® straightens teeth using a series of clear, plastic aligners that are comfortable and removable. Invisalign® is a popular choice for adults and older teens who are concerned about the appearance of braces during normal daily activities. Invisalign offers the flexibility of wearing braces at more convenient times of the day. We additionally offer Invisalign® Teen for our younger patients.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are made of translucent material. They are comfortable and very durable. If you are looking for traditional braces without the appearance of visible metal brackests, you may want to consider clear ceramic braces.

My son's hardware was broken so we called and see if they could help. They were able to get us in very quickly and we're told that the hardware was fixable. After waiting a couple of days, the hardware was ready and fitted nicely. Thank you to the staff, especially Cesar and Dr. Hunt.
The staff and Dr.'s are professional and friendly. The office is clean and organized. I always feel like my children are getting the best care. Taylor is always so helpful and so pleasant to talk to. It's nice to be remembered each visit. She is always willing to do her best to accommodate us and our schedule!
My daughter needed braces at a very young age of 6! Dr. Brenda was amazing with my daughter. She talked her through it made her comfortable and made the experience fun for her.
Professional, friendly and excellent care Dr. Caillouel and team are excellent. I have been so pleased with my son’s braces and expander experience. Dr. Caillouel is highly credible and knowledgeable and my kids love coming to see her because she is so warm and friendly! I highly recommend Dixon Orthodontics for any dental and orthodontics care!
