Let's Talk About Your Smile
Personalized Orthodontic Care
Let’s Bring Your Smile Into Alignment
Crowded teeth, noticeable gaps, or a bite that feels uneven can affect how you feel about your smile. At Skinner Dental, we help patients explore orthodontic care in Murray, Utah, with guidance built around their goals and dental health.
Orthodontics focuses on the alignment of your teeth and how your upper and lower teeth fit together. Treatment can improve the appearance of your smile while addressing certain bite concerns and making some areas easier to clean.
Our team starts by listening. We’ll discuss what you’d like to change, examine your teeth and bite, and explain suitable treatment options. Clear aligners may be appropriate for some patients, while others may benefit from braces or care with an orthodontic specialist.
An orthodontic evaluation may be helpful for:
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Spaces between teeth
Upper and lower teeth that do not meet evenly
Teeth that have shifted after previous treatment
Difficulty cleaning between certain teeth
Questions about your child’s developing smile
Whether you’re exploring treatment for yourself or asking about your child’s teeth, we’ll help you understand the next step. Your care plan should fit your needs, with clear expectations about treatment, daily responsibilities, and follow-up visits.
I’ve been coming to Skinner Dental for 13 years now and I plan on coming back for another 13. Dr. Skinner and his staff do amazing work and always look forward to seeing them every 6 months for my routine cleanings. They’ve helped me keep my teeth clean and healthy!
My daughter started going here, and I soon transferred over as well. I was impressed with the up to date equipment, and they can basically do everything in the office without sending you elsewhere. Both of the Dr. Skinner’s and JJ have always been very informational with every visit. I would recommend them to anyone.
Amazing experience! Everyone is so nice but extra shoutout to Amada... She did such a great job with the little time she had since i was late. I really appreciated it! Also thank you to JJ and Liz who were nothing short of amazing. Very welcoming and friendly when I arrived and quick to get me where I needed to be. Awesome staff!! I am actually excited for my next visit to the dentist. Great experience!! 🙂

Understand Your Alignment Options
Orthodontic Questions?
We Have Answers
How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?
An evaluation can help determine whether treatment would benefit your smile or bite. Crowding, gaps, shifting teeth, and difficulty biting comfortably are reasons to ask about your options. Some concerns are less noticeable and may be identified during a routine dental visit.
What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?
Braces use brackets and wires attached to the teeth, while clear aligners use a series of removable trays. Each approach has different advantages and daily care requirements. The appropriate option depends on the movements needed and your ability to follow treatment instructions.
Where do Invisalign, SureSmile, and ClearCorrect fit in?
Invisalign®, SureSmile®, and ClearCorrect® are brands of clear aligners used for orthodontic treatment. Our team can explain which options are available through Skinner Dental and whether clear aligners are suitable for your needs.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Adults can explore orthodontic treatment for concerns such as crowding, gaps, or teeth that have shifted. Gum health, existing dental work, and the condition of the supporting bone are important considerations when planning care.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Your timeline depends on the complexity of your alignment concerns, the treatment selected, and how your teeth respond. Following instructions and attending progress visits helps support your treatment plan. We’ll discuss an estimated timeline after evaluating your smile.
Will I need a retainer after treatment?
Retainers help maintain the position of your teeth after active treatment. Teeth can shift over time, so following your recommended retainer schedule is an important part of protecting your results. We’ll explain how to wear and care for your retainer.
