Achieve a Smile You’ll Love at Sunny Bay Dental
Boost Your Confidence
A straighter smile can transform how you feel about yourself. With teeth that are aligned and healthy, you’ll feel confident in every smile, whether you’re talking, laughing, or posing for a photo. It’s about more than just looks—it’s about feeling good and confident in who you are.
Improve Your Oral Health
Straight teeth make it easier to keep your mouth clean and healthy. With fewer hard-to-reach spots, you’ll reduce plaque buildup and lower your risk of cavities and gum disease. A healthy smile means better long-term oral health and fewer dental problems down the road.
Better Function and Comfort
When your teeth are straight, your bite works more smoothly, which helps reduce jaw pain and discomfort. It also prevents unnecessary wear and tear on your teeth, keeping them in better shape for longer. A straight smile means less strain, fewer headaches, and more comfort in everyday life.
Common Orthodontic Issues We Treat
We treat a wide variety of orthodontic concerns, so no matter what’s bothering you, we can help. Here are some of the most common issues we address:
- Crowded Teeth: We’ll straighten crowded teeth, making it easier to clean and improving your smile’s appearance.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Whether you have small or large gaps between your teeth, we can close them to give you a more uniform, natural-looking smile.
- Bite Misalignment: If you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, we can help adjust your bite so your teeth fit together properly, improving both function and appearance.

The Orthodontic Process
We’re with you every step of the way to make your orthodontic journey as smooth and straightforward as possible. Here’s what to expect:
Initial Consultation
We’ll begin by getting to know your goals and concerns. After a thorough exam, we’ll use our advanced technology to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment Planning
We’ll walk you through your options, explaining the timeline, costs, and expected results. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Active Treatment
During treatment, we’ll schedule regular checkups to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. Your journey is a partnership, and we’ll work closely with you to ensure the best results.

Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to help you maintain your new smile. We’ll also offer guidance on keeping your smile healthy for years to come.
Our Orthodontic Treatment Options
We offer a variety of orthodontic treatments, so you can find the one that works best for you. From traditional braces to clear aligners, we’ll help you choose the treatment that matches your smile goals.
Metal Braces
If you're looking for a time-tested solution, metal braces offer reliable and effective results. Using modern materials and techniques, we’ll ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible, helping you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
Ceramic Braces
For those who want a more discreet option, ceramic braces are a great choice. These tooth-colored braces work just as well as traditional ones but blend in with your smile, so they’re less noticeable as they work their magic.
Clear Aligners
If you prefer something virtually invisible, clear aligners are a perfect fit. These removable aligners straighten your teeth without the need for wires or brackets, allowing you to live your life with minimal interruption.
