iSmile Specialists offers metal braces, clear aligners, and advanced orthodontic care for complex cases — for children, teens, and adults.
All orthodontic treatment is diagnosed and planned by Dr. Wael Kanaan, DDS, MS, an orthodontist who has treated more than 7,000 cases. His research on complex orthodontic treatment has been published in the American Journal of Orthodontics.
Orthodontic options at iSmile Specialists
- Metal braces: Reliable for simple to complex alignment issues in kids, teens, and adults. Modern brackets are smaller and more comfortable than older designs.
- Clear aligners: A nearly invisible, removable option for teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues. Aligners are typically worn 20–22 hours per day.
- Complex-case orthodontics: For severe bite and jaw alignment problems, Dr. Kanaan uses advanced techniques including temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and 3D-planned tooth movement that many general clinics don't offer.
How orthodontic treatment works
- Digital scans: We take quick digital scans of your mouth — no messy impressions — and map your tooth movement in 3D before treatment begins.
- Custom plan: Your options, expected timeline, and costs are explained upfront, so you can choose what fits your budget and lifestyle.
- Monitored care: Regular check-ins keep treatment on track, with adjustments and progress scans along the way and a retainer plan when treatment finishes.

What Are Porcelain Veneers and How Do They Improve Smile Aesthetics?
Porcelain veneers are incredibly thin ceramic shells meticulously bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are expertly designed to correct issues like deep discoloration, structural chips, and minor shape irregularities, delivering a natural-looking radiance and exceptional durability.
These benefits naturally lead to discussions about complementary treatments like professional whitening and comprehensive smile makeovers.
What Is a Smile Makeover and Which Treatments Does It Include?
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines various cosmetic procedures—such as custom veneers, professional whitening, bonding, and gum contouring—to address your specific aesthetic goals.
The objective is to design a cohesive, balanced, and perfectly balanced smile architecture that vastly enhances both your overall appearance and native oral function.
Each component is carefully integrated to deliver a tailored transformation, resulting in highly durable, beautiful outcomes with minimal invasiveness.
What Are the Typical Steps in Orthodontic and Implant Procedures?
Phase 1: Virtual Design
Planning
We utilize advanced 3D digital scans to build a virtual treatment design and map out precise surgical or orthodontic pathways before your procedure begins.
Phase 2: Base Health
Preparation
Before major cosmetic or alignment work happens, we ensure a clean, stable foundation. This includes deep cleanings or necessary preparatory steps like extractions and bone grafting (adding bone material to rebuild areas of bone loss).
Phase 3: The Procedure
Execution
Your specialized treatment is comfortably put into action—whether that means the precision placement of custom orthodontic appliances or pristine implant placement under local anesthesia.
Phase 4: Monitoring
Follow-Up
We guide you through the healing process. You will have regular, streamlined check-ins for minor adjustments, healing assessments, and fine-tuning to keep your progress on schedule.
Phase 5: Your New Smile
Finalization
The final milestone. This is where we attach your permanent custom restorations, fit your long-term retainers, or complete your final high-end cosmetic bonding.
