How Can Orthodontics Benefit Me?
Enhance Your Appearance
Crooked, gapped, and misaligned teeth cause patients to be self-conscious of their smiles. Orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners can fix these aesthetic flaws giving you a dazzling, confident smile.
Improve Oral Health
A crooked and overcrowded smile can make it difficult to effectively clean your teeth and gums. By shifting your teeth into proper alignment, you can prevent bacteria from building up and creating severe oral health issues.
Maintain Bite Function
A misaligned bite can have major repercussions on your overall oral health. An unevenly distributed bite force puts added stress on your temporomandibular joint, which can lead to TMJ disorders. Orthodontics can reposition your bite to prevent TMD.
Straighten Your Teeth With Orthodontics
Sharp Smile Center uses SureSmile® clear aligners to safely and precisely move your teeth. Each plan and set of aligners is customized to the patient's needs. Dr. Coulibaly has received advanced orthodontic training to provide exceptional results.
Which is better SureSmile vs Invisalign?
SureSmile is effective at treating complex and simple challenges. It's better than Invisalign for difficult cases, like big tooth gaps, severe overbite, and more. SureSmile uses patented software and digital photos of your teeth to make your custom plan, which will move your teeth quickly.

Love this office! From the check in/out process to the amazing hygienist (Nicole) and last but not least Dr.C. Every aspect of my dental care is out in my hands and everyone is understanding and non judgemental about when and what can be done. I have never been happier with a dental office.

Dr. Sharp’s staff worked with me to get me in during the holiday season to get 4 veneers done. Dental work is never pleasant but the Sharp group made me as comfortable as possible, were very accommodating and I was very pleased with the results! I wish I could add a picture as this is an old photo. I highly recommend this group!

Costs and Payment Options
Every patient's treatment is customized to fit their orthodontic needs, so each patient's cost is different. For example, if you require fewer aligner trays to correct mild misalignment, you can expect to pay less than someone with moderate misalignment. During your consultation, one of our dentists will discuss your goals and estimate the cost of your treatment.
Our Portage-area practice accepts most insurances, and your plan may contribute to the cost of your treatment. We also have flexible financing options through CareCredit® and LendingClub® so you can break down any out-of-pocket costs into manageable monthly payments.
You may also choose to spread your payment over your first 6 months of treatment.
