Specialty Care that Goes Beyond the Smile

Supporting Your Smile

While most orthodontic practices focus solely on alignment, RH Orthodontics takes a broader view. Our specialty services address the supporting structures of your smile – from gum balance to jaw support to sleep-related breathing issues. These targeted treatments help create not just straighter teeth, but better long-term outcomes and a more confident, comfortable you.

Reshaping Gums for
Harmony and Health

Refining gum shape can elevate both aesthetics and oral hygiene.

Gum tissue frames your smile. When it’s uneven or overly prominent, it can affect both how your smile looks and how it feels. Through precise, minimally invasive reshaping, we can create balance between teeth and gums, reduce “gummy” smiles, and improve access for brushing and flossing. Whether for visual harmony or functional benefit, gum reshaping is a small change that can make a big difference.

Smart Support for
Complex Tooth Movement

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) help guide difficult tooth movements that braces or aligners alone can’t achieve.

TADs are tiny, strategically placed implants used to move teeth more predictably, especially in cases that would otherwise require surgery or more invasive interventions. At RH Orthodontics, we use TADs when appropriate to support a more targeted, effective treatment plan, always with your comfort and long-term results in mind.

Brightening Your Smile with
Professional Whitening

Professional whitening enhances both your smile and how you feel.
Over time, everyday foods, drinks, and habits can dull your teeth. Our gentle, professional whitening treatments refresh your smile by lifting away stains and revealing your natural radiance. Whether for a special moment or just because, teeth whitening is an easy way to brighten your look and your day.

Beyond Braces: Fixing
Jaw Alignment

When jaw alignment issues can’t be corrected with braces alone, surgical orthodontics can help improve function, facial balance, and overall confidence.
Some smiles need more than just braces to reach their full potential. When jaw structure affects bite, facial balance, or overall function, we may recommend surgical orthodontics in partnership with a trusted oral surgeon. Together, we guide you through the process – from planning to recovery – with care, clarity, and personalized support. This treatment is about more than straight teeth; it’s about creating long-term harmony, comfort, and confidence in your smile.

Designing Your Best Smile:
Down to the Details

Digital Smile Design combines technology and artistry to plan your ideal smile in collaboration with your restorative dentist.
Sometimes a smile transformation takes a team. With Digital Smile Design, we use high-resolution imaging and digital planning tools to map out the ideal alignment, proportions, and aesthetics of your smile, before any treatment begins. Whether you’re considering full mouth reconstruction or just want to fine-tune your smile, we work closely with your restorative dentist to ensure every element functions beautifully and looks natural. It’s not just about straight teeth – it’s about designing a smile that fits you perfectly.

Breathe Better. Sleep Deeper.
Live Healthier.

Orthodontics plays a powerful role in identifying and improving airway function.
Snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep, and even behavioral challenges can stem from restricted airways. Through imaging and jaw assessment, we can detect signs of airway obstruction that may affect sleep quality, especially in children. When needed, we coordinate with sleep specialists and may recommend orthodontic solutions that support better airflow. This isn’t just about teeth. It’s about wellness.

Have a question?

Here’s what patients often ask about these advanced treatments.

Is gum treatment cosmetic or medical?
It can be both. Some patients seek visual balance, while others benefit from improved hygiene access.
Placement is quick and relatively painless. Most patients are surprised by how little discomfort they feel.

Whitening is generally safe for most adults, but we’ll review your dental health to ensure it’s a good option for you.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your bite, jaw alignment, and facial balance. If traditional orthodontics isn’t enough to achieve the best result, we may recommend a surgical approach in partnership with a trusted oral surgeon.
Traditional planning often focuses on straightening teeth or correcting bite issues in isolation. With Digital Smile Design (DSD), we take a more holistic approach, especially important if your teeth are worn, broken down, or you’re in need of full mouth reconstruction. DSD allows us to plan your orthodontic treatment alongside your restorative dentist to ensure your final result is not only beautiful, but also functional and long-lasting. It’s about creating one cohesive plan, so every piece works together seamlessly.

We don’t diagnose sleep apnea, but we can identify contributing factors and collaborate with your healthcare team to support treatment.

It depends on the service and your plan. We’re happy to verify benefits and explain options during your consultation.
Advanced techniques like these require specialized training and experience. At RH Orthodontics, we’re committed to continuous learning and providing thoughtful, comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
