Which Orthodontic Treatment Is Right for You?

Discover personalized orthodontic solutions for every smile. From traditional braces to clear aligners, our team will help you find the right treatment for your needs and goals.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces offer reliable, effective treatment for correcting misaligned teeth, crowding, and bite issues for children, teens, and adults.

Clear Braces

Clear braces offer an effective orthodontic solution with less noticeable brackets, helping you achieve a straighter smile with confidence.

Invisalign and Clear Aligners

Straighten your teeth with nearly invisible, removable aligners from Invisalign® and Spark. They’re a discreet, comfortable option that fits easily into the lives of teens and adults.

What's In A Happier Smile?

Smile Arc

Natural, aesthetic smiles tend to follow the contour of the lips. We balance the position of the teeth with the lips to create a smile in perfect harmony.

Smile Width

We focus on creating wide “Hollywood” smiles by maximizing the number of teeth that are visible when you smile. This gives a more youthful, radiant appearance.

Finishing Touches

We go the extra mile to ensure that every detail is perfect. From the moment you begin treatment to the finishing touches, we listen to your concerns, specific needs, and preferences.

Great service. Very professional.

Patricia M.

My daughter had her appointment at Happier Smiles Orthodontics (formerly Baker Orthodontics) today, and from the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed. They even had a sign welcoming her by name, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! We had previously visited four other orthodontic practices, and none of them gave us the same warm, personal experience we had here. On top of that, their pricing was better than every other office we visited, which made our decision even easier. What they didn’t know when we left was that we had already decided—this is where we want to go! ❤️ And just when we thought the experience couldn’t get any sweeter, they baked fresh cookies for Sage before she walked out the door. 🍪🥰 Everyone was genuinely kind, welcoming, and thoughtful. I would absolutely recommend Happier Smiles to anyone looking for a great orthodontic experience while also wanting to save some money. We’re so excited for Sage to start her smile journey with them and can’t wait to see what’s to come! 🦷✨

Samantha G.

The doctor and staff are absolutely wonderful! Everyone is so kind, professional, efficient, and easy to work with.

We’ve had a great experience with the office and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great orthodontic team!

From the first evaluation appointment through the removal of braces each visit was professional and friendly. Every person associated with Happier Smiles Orthodontics gives you the comfort of being the most important patient in the office. They celebrate their patients. I am very happy with the procedures and outcomes achieved.

Kayla B.

After about 3 years of care here, I can confidently say that Happier Smiles is truly top notch orthodontia care! My daughter has been through both the expander and braces experiences and it has been even better than I expected. First off, I am so pleased to see how confident she is walking around with her gorgeous new smile. The prices and payment options were so reasonable and flexible, and I never felt obligated or pushed into something unnecessary. Every single person working there was so friendly and genuine that we felt like family. Making and moving appointments was easy, and they made sure my daughter had every tool and piece of knowledge to make the process as smooth as possible. When the time comes for my next kid to get braces, you better believe we'll head here to make that smile just as happy!

Mandy K.

Happier Smiles is the best! Service with a smile is an understatement. My sons Invisalign experience has been so positive--from appointment scheduling to always being on time, we've been so happy. Thank you Dr. Cyrus and team! 😊🦷

Audra R.

There aren’t enough positive words to express our gratitude to Happier Smiles. Both of our children have been patients of the practice for many years as we go along our orthodontic journey. The changes in their smiles are amazing already; I can’t wait to see the finished results! The entire team is incredible, you will sense from the moment you walk in that it’s an incredible team that enjoys what they do and where they work. The kindness and patience shown to both of my kids, including one with strong sensory issues who has needed extra TLC, cannot be overstated. Our family is super loyal to Happier Smiles and will sing their praises to anyone who needs orthodontics!

Elizabeth G.

I had an amazing experience throughout my aligner treatment with Dr. Cyrus. From my very first consultation to my final appointment, the whole team made the process smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. Even after I moved away from the area, they went out of their way to accommodate me and make sure I could continue my treatment without any issues. That level of care and flexibility means so much to me. I'm so happy with my results and couldn't be more grateful for the care I received. I highly recommend this team. Thank you all for helping me throughout the process. ❤️🙂
