Read MorePersonalized Orthodontic Treatment for Every Stage of Life
No two smiles are alike, which is why Camino Real Orthodontics offers a full range of orthodontic options rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Board-certified orthodontist Dr. Michael Hassey evaluates each patient’s teeth, bite, jaw growth, and goals before recommending treatment, then designs a plan focused on healthy function, facial balance, and results that last.
Traditional Braces
Our traditional braces use American-made, low-profile mini twin brackets that are smaller and more comfortable than the braces many parents remember. They offer maximum control for mild to complex cases and work around the clock with no aligners to remember.
Clear Braces
Clear ceramic braces deliver the strength and reliability of traditional braces with tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with your smile — a popular choice for teens and adults who want discreet, comprehensive correction.
Invisalign & Invisalign Teen
Invisalign and Invisalign Teen use a series of removable, nearly invisible aligners to straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Patients can eat, brush, and floss normally, and Invisalign Teen includes features designed specifically for growing smiles.
Orthodontic Treatment for All Ages
From Phase 1 interceptive treatment for children around age 7 to teen and adult care, our orthodontic treatment for all ages ensures every member of the family receives the right care at the right time.
Conditions Our Treatments Correct
Our services address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, protruding teeth, deep bites, impacted canines, and shifting teeth. Visit our conditions we treat page to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Orthodontic Services
Which orthodontic treatment is right for me?
The right treatment depends on your bite, alignment, lifestyle, and goals. During a complimentary consultation, Dr. Hassey will explain which options can correct your concerns and help you choose.
What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Braces use brackets and wires fixed to the teeth, while Invisalign uses removable clear aligners. Both are effective; braces offer maximum control for complex cases, while Invisalign offers a discreet, removable option.
Are clear braces as effective as metal braces?
Yes. Clear ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces and are effective for most orthodontic concerns, with a more subtle appearance.
Do you offer treatment for young children?
Yes. We offer Phase 1 interceptive treatment for children, typically between ages 6 and 10, to guide jaw growth and address developing problems early.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most comprehensive treatment takes 12 to 24 months, depending on complexity and the treatment chosen.
Is orthodontic treatment covered by insurance?
Many dental plans include orthodontic benefits. We are preferred providers with many major plans and accept all PPO insurance.
