Services & Treatments
Metal Braces
Read moreHide
Dr. Bond uses today's metal braces, which are smaller and more comfortable than older designs. They remain the most versatile option for complex alignment cases requiring precise control over tooth position throughout treatment. Patients can personalize their appliance with colored band options. Reviews of Dr. Bond's braces cases specifically cite his ability to fine-tune alignment and achieve exact, satisfying results from the first adjustment through the day the braces come off.
What patients say
- 😊Patients consistently praise Dr. Bond's exceptional skill at fine-tuning tooth alignment and his clinical precision throughout braces treatment
Ceramic Braces
Read moreHide
Ceramic braces use the same bracket-and-wire mechanics as metal braces but feature clear, tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural enamel. Dr. Bond offers this option for patients who want the clinical effectiveness of fixed braces with a lower-visibility profile. They work well for adults and older teens who are mindful of appearance during treatment while still requiring the precise tooth movement control that fixed appliances deliver.
What patients say
- 😊Patients who complete braces treatment with Dr. Bond frequently describe loving their final smile results
Gold Braces

Gold braces offer the same durability and clinical effectiveness as traditional metal braces with a distinctive aesthetic choice. For patients who view their orthodontic appliance as a personal style statement, Grant Orthodontics provides this option as a fashionable alternative. The underlying treatment mechanics are identical to standard metal braces, giving Dr. Bond reliable tooth movement control across all case complexities.
Invisalign
Read moreHide
Dr. Bond uses the Invisalign system's advanced computer technology and digital impressions to design fully custom clear aligner trays for each patient. Before treatment begins, patients can preview a virtual simulation of their projected outcome. Aligners are worn approximately 22 hours per day and switched to the next set every two weeks. Office check-ins are scheduled roughly every six weeks, making this option practical for busy adult and teen schedules.

Invisalign Teen
Read moreHide
Invisalign Teen functions like the adult Invisalign system with one key addition: a Blue Dot Wear Indicator built into each aligner that fades with use. This gives Dr. Bond and parents an objective way to confirm teens are wearing the trays the required hours each day. Because the aligners are removable, teens can continue playing musical instruments and participating in sports without any modification to their gear or activities.

Children and Teen Orthodontics
Read moreHide
Dr. Bond recommends that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At that stage, he can assess jaw development and the eruption pattern of permanent teeth to determine whether early interceptive treatment will prevent more complex problems later. Adolescents have access to the full range of treatment options at Grant Orthodontics, including metal, ceramic, gold, and Invisalign Teen, allowing families to choose based on clinical need and lifestyle.
Adult Orthodontics
Read moreHide
Dr. Bond sees adult patients at every stage of life seeking alignment correction, bite improvement, or aesthetic enhancement.

The practice's flexible scheduling, including weeknight appointments until 7 PM and weekend options, is designed to accommodate adults managing treatment alongside professional and family demands.

Why a specialist
Why see an orthodontist?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that requires two to three additional years of graduate residency training after dental school. Dr. Bond completed both a DMD program and a Master of Science degree in orthodontics before seeing patients, giving him a level of clinical depth that general dentists offering aligner or braces services do not share. Tooth movement affects more than aesthetics: the way teeth meet influences chewing mechanics, jaw joint health, and long-term enamel wear. An orthodontic specialist evaluates all of those factors together. At Grant Orthodontics, the practice treats no other dental conditions, which means Dr. Bond's entire clinical attention is directed at alignment and bite correction. That exclusive focus also allows him to recognize when an evaluation at age seven can intercept a developing problem before it requires more extensive treatment later.
