Friendly, comfortable orthodontic care for every smile and every age. Two welcoming offices serving families across the North Country.
Braces do more than straighten teeth. They help create a healthier, more comfortable smile that’s easier to care for, for life. Whether you’re thinking about treatment for your child, your teen, or yourself, the right time to start is usually sooner than you’d think.
A few things braces can help with:
Not sure if braces are the right next step? Come in for a free first visit, Dr. Agnetta will take a friendly look and give you honest, plain-language guidance with no pressure either way.
Braces aren’t just for teens anymore. We care for kids, teens, and adults, and we tailor every step of the process to fit the life stage we’re working with.
Whether you’re booking a first visit for your seven-year-old or finally taking the step for yourself, you’ll find a warm, welcoming team here for you.
The right kind of braces depends on your smile, your goals, and your lifestyle. We’ll help you find the option that fits and walk you through everything in plain language.
The most reliable and time-tested option, now smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever. A great fit for most smiles and most budgets.
A modern take on traditional braces that uses no elastic bands. Often means quicker, more comfortable visits and a smoother experience overall
Looking for something nearly invisible? We also offer Angel Aligners as a clear, removable alternative.
Starting braces is easier (and friendlier) than most people expect. We keep every visit calm, easy to understand, and on schedule.
Here’s how it usually goes:
A little soreness for a day or two is normal at the start and after adjustments, but most people adjust quickly. We’re always just a phone call away if anything comes up.
The cost of braces shouldn’t keep your family from the smile you want. Your final cost depends on the type of braces you choose and how long treatment takes. We’ll walk you through everything at your free first visit, in plain language.
A few ways we help adults make braces work for their budget:
We’re proud to be a family-owned practice serving Potsdam, Plattsburgh, and the North Country, and we’ll always take the time to find a plan that fits.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child’s first orthodontic visit around age 7, though most kids who need braces start treatment between 10 and 14. That said, braces work at any age. We treat plenty of teens and adults, and your smile is never too far gone to improve.
Most cases take between 12 and 30 months, depending on your specific needs. Kids and teens often finish faster because their teeth are still growing into place. At your free first visit, Dr. Agnetta will give you a clear estimate based on your smile.
Getting braces placed isn’t painful; most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. A little soreness for a day or two after placement (or after adjustments) is normal, but it goes away quickly. We’ll send you home with everything you need to stay comfortable.
It depends on the type of braces and how long treatment takes. We accept most insurance, offer in-house financing with flexible monthly payments, and welcome HSA & FSA. There’s also a family discount when more than one family member needs braces. The best way to get a clear number is to come in for a free first visit.
Both work beautifully. Metal braces are the most time-tested and budget-friendly option, while self-ligating braces use no elastic bands, often making visits quicker and more comfortable. Dr. Agnetta will help you decide which fits best at your free first visit.
Yes, retainers help keep that beautiful new smile in place. We’ll walk you through retainer options when the time comes. Learn more about retainers.
We’d love to meet your family. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or ready to take the next step, we’re here to help, with friendly answers, honest guidance, and zero pressure.
Your first visit is always free.
