Orthodontic Services in Springfield, MO
At Sharp Orthodontics, we believe in tailoring treatment plans to individual needs, which is why our services cover a full spectrum. From children to adults, to cosmetic “smile tuning” via our Smile Choice program, we have an option to help you achieve your goals.
Children’s Orthodontics in Springfield, MO
Early orthodontic evaluation is often the key to long-term success. Our children’s orthodontics program focuses on diagnosing and treating common early orthodontic issues, such as crowding, spacing, growth discrepancies, and jaw misalignment, before they become more difficult to correct. We recommend an initial assessment around ages 7–8, a critical window when jaw growth and tooth development can most benefit from early intervention.
Early treatment can reduce the risk of more invasive procedures later in life. In your child's consultation, one of our trusted Orthodontists will evaluate your childs growth, development and potential risks and discuss a detailed plan for ensuring they grow into the perfect smile!
Adult Orthodontics in Springfield, MO
It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. In recent years, more adults in Springfield are choosing orthodontic treatment, whether because they didn’t have access when they were younger, or their teeth have shifted over time. We understand adult life is busy, so we offer discreet, efficient treatment options that minimize disruption, including clear aligners, ceramic braces, and LightForce custom braces.
Beyond aesthetics, orthodontics can improve oral health, function, and confidence, all while offering flexible scheduling to accommodate work, family, and lifestyle.

Our Smile Choice program gives you flexibility to choose how much treatment you want, based on your goals, time, and budget.

Braces (Metal, Ceramic & LightForce Custom Brackets) in Springfield, MO
At Sharp Orthodontics in Springfield, MO, our braces options are as modern and patient-friendly as they are effective, because we believe no two smiles are exactly alike. Led by Dr. Frank Sharp, a board-certified orthodontist and key opinion leader in remote-monitoring technology, and Dr. Laura Moore, a native of Springfield with a perfect blend of art and science in her approach, we deliver braces treatment with precision, comfort, and fewer in-office visits.
Here’s a deeper look at the types of braces we offer, and how each one benefits different needs:
Metal Braces in Springfield, MO
Traditional yet highly reliable, our metal braces are made of high-quality stainless steel. These are often the most cost-effective option and work extremely well for complex bite corrections or when maximum control over tooth movement is needed. Although “traditional,” we pair them with modern planning tools and digital scans to ensure your treatment is efficient and predictable.
Ceramic Braces in Springfield, MO
If you want the strength and predictability of braces but with a more discreet look, ceramic brackets are excellent. They blend with your natural tooth color, making them less conspicuous than metal, while still delivering consistent force to move teeth effectively. For adult patients in Springfield, MO who are concerned about aesthetics, ceramic braces offer a strong balance.
LightForce Custom Braces in Springfield, MO
This is where we bring in next-gen orthodontics: LightForce braces are fully 3D-printed to match the precise shape of each of your teeth, not just one “size fits many.”
Because they’re custom-designed, they often require fewer adjustments, which means fewer appointments. And when combined with our remote monitoring (via DentalMonitoring®), we can check your progress more frequently without making you come into the office as often.
Key benefits of LightForce for our Springfield patients:
-
Treatment can be up to ~40% faster than with conventional braces.
-
Durable material: Brackets are made from a strong polycrystalline alumina, reducing the risk of breakage.
-
Better comfort: Because each bracket is custom-fit, it conforms more naturally to your tooth shape.
-
Fewer emergencies/breakages means fewer office visits, which is especially helpful for busy Springfield families or working adults.
Combining LightForce braces with remote check-ins makes for efficient, technology-driven care that fits modern lifestyles, especially for people who don’t want to spend every month in the orthodontist’s chair.
Clear Aligners in Springfield, MO
Sharp Orthodontics offers a full suite of modern, clear-aligner options, giving Springfield, MO, patients flexibility, discretion, and high-quality results. Our team, including Dr. Sharp and Dr. Moore, brings deep expertise to aligner treatment, and our use of remote monitoring means you can complete much of your treatment from home.
Here is a breakdown of the aligner options we provide:
Invisalign® (Standard, Teen, and First) in Springfield, MO
As a Diamond+ (top 1%) provider of Invisalign, Sharp Orthodontics has advanced experience with a full range of Invisalign treatments for adults, teens, and even younger patients.
-
Invisalign® for Adults: Ideal for those who want a discreet, removable solution while maintaining a busy lifestyle. Our 3D iTero® scans allow us to create a highly personalized treatment plan, and we deliver aligners made from SmartTrack® material for consistent, gentle force.
-
Invisalign® Teen: Specifically designed for younger patients. It includes features like compliance indicators and is easy to remove for school, sports, or meals all while giving you the aesthetics and convenience of a clear aligner.
-
Invisalign® First: For our youngest orthodontic patients (still growing), this system helps guide jaw and tooth development early, avoiding more invasive work later. Dr. Sharp and Dr. Moore use these aligners to deliver early interceptive care comfortably and effectively.
Invisalign Palatal Expander in Springfield, MO
This is a modern alternative to traditional expanders, especially for children who need their palate widened. Sharp Orthodontics offers Invisalign Palatal Expanders, which are 3D-printed, screw-free, and significantly less painful than traditional expansion devices.
The treatment involves a series of 3D-printed expanders that gradually widen the palate, a manual key crank, which reduces stress for both kids and parents. Because of this design, it’s clinically effective, efficient, and more comfortable, making it a great way for our Springfield, MO patients to get early orthodontic intervention without the drama of metal expansion appliances.
Spark™ Aligners in Springfield, MO
Our Spark Aligners use TruGEN™ material, which is known for its exceptional clarity, soft feel, and precise fit. These aligners are nearly invisible, offer very good comfort for daily wear, and are engineered for efficient force delivery, often meaning faster treatment. Spark is a strong choice for patients who want a clear, comfortable aligner with high esthetics and a smooth, predictable movement of the teeth.
Angel Aligners in Springfield, MO
Sharp Orthodontics also provides Angel Aligners, a highly developed removable system used globally since 2003. These aligners are custom-made, removable, and designed to effectively treat crowding, spacing, and bite issues. They are strong, durable, and clear, combining aesthetic appeal, convenience (eat, brush, floss normally), and fewer required appointments thanks to our streamlined care.
