Creating Beautiful, Confident Smiles

Personalized care you can trust

Our goal is to help you and your family achieve smiles you can be proud of… for the rest of your lives!

LightForce™ Braces

With LightForce™, all we need to start treatment is a digital scan of your mouth. Brackets are 3D printed to fit each tooth perfectly, maximizing comfort and reducing breakage.

3M™ Clarity™ Aligners

3M™ Clarity™ aligners are a discreet, removable way to improve your smile. They are custom designed for comfort and virtually invisible.

Early Treatment

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic exam at age 7.

Teen Orthodontics

Offering teens the most advanced orthodontic treatment options in Sacramento – including 3M™ Clarity™ aligners.

Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for kids and teens. You can even straighten your teeth “invisibly.”

Free Consultation

We want your smile to reflect the real you, so your initial consultation at American River Orthodontics is completely free of charge.
