Orthodontics for All Ages

Early orthodontic care at Compass Orthodontics in Medina, MN helps us guide your child’s smile as they grow. By identifying issues early, we can make future treatment easier — creating space for adult teeth, correcting bite problems, and addressing habits before they become bigger concerns. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. Not every child needs treatment right away, but a complimentary check-in with Dr. Sperl is a great first step toward a healthy, confident smile.

Braces

Traditional metal braces are one of the most effective orthodontic treatments available — and today’s braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever. At Compass Orthodontics in Medina, MN, we use high-quality metal braces to treat a wide range of alignment and bite issues in kids, teens, and adults. Durable, reliable, and proven, they’re a great choice for a healthy, beautifully aligned smile. Plus, patients love customizing their look with fun color options at every visit!

Ceramic braces offer the same proven effectiveness as traditional metal braces — with a more discreet appearance. At Compass Orthodontics in Medina, MN, our ceramic braces feature tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend naturally with your smile, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want the strength of traditional orthodontic treatment without the metallic look. They’re perfect if you need the strength of traditional braces but want something less noticeable during treatment.

KLOwen custom braces use advanced digital technology to design your smile from the very start — with brackets custom-made for your unique tooth anatomy. At Compass Orthodontics in Medina, MN, we’re proud to offer this innovative orthodontic solution that means fewer visits and faster results. It’s a smarter, more personalized way to straighten teeth using brackets and wires — precision-engineered just for you.

Clear Aligners

Discreet Orthodontic Treatment with Angel Aligners & Clarity Aligners in Medina, MN

Clear aligners are a modern, discreet alternative to braces that straighten your teeth using a series of custom-made removable trays. Each set is precisely designed to gently guide your teeth into their ideal position — no wires, no brackets, and no interruptions to your lifestyle. Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient and comfortable choice for teens and adults. At Compass Orthodontics in Medina, MN, Dr. Sperl uses Angel Aligners and Clarity Aligners — premium clear aligner systems that give him full control and flexibility to craft a truly personalized treatment plan. With consistent wear and expert guidance from Dr. Sperl, clear aligners can give you the confident smile you’ve been waiting for.

Orthodontic Expanders

Palate Expanders for Children in Medina, MN

Orthodontic expanders are appliances Dr. Sperl may recommend when he sees early signs that your child’s jaw is too small to accommodate their adult teeth. At Compass Orthodontics in Medina, MN, we use palate expanders to gently widen the upper jaw — creating space to correct crossbites, normalize tongue posture, and help permanent teeth come in properly. Early intervention with an expander is one of the most effective ways to guide your child’s smile and avoid more complex orthodontic treatment down the road.

Retainers

Retaining Your Smile After Orthodontic Treatment

After completing orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners, retainers are essential for keeping your teeth in their new position. At Compass Orthodontics, conveniently located near Plymouth in Medina, MN, every retainer is custom-made to fit your smile precisely — preventing teeth from shifting back and protecting the results you worked hard to achieve. Dr. Sperl will guide you on exactly when and how to wear your retainer, so all the progress you’ve made lasts a lifetime.

Teeth Whitening

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, teeth whitening is the perfect way to add that final finishing touch to your new smile. At Compass Orthodontics in Medina, MN, we offer safe, professional-grade whitening options that brighten your teeth effectively and comfortably — no over-the-counter guesswork required. Dr. Sperl will guide you on the ideal time to whiten during or after treatment to help you achieve the most beautiful, lasting results.

Aesthetic Tooth Contouring

Smile Refinement at the End of Orthodontic Treatment

Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Aesthetic tooth contouring is a quick, gentle procedure that smooths uneven edges or reshapes teeth for a more balanced, polished smile. At Compass Orthodontics, serving Medina and Plymouth, MN, Dr. Sperl may recommend tooth contouring at the end of orthodontic treatment to refine your final results. It’s subtle, simple, and can make a beautiful difference in the overall appearance of your smile.

This advanced orthodontic technology allows Dr. Sperl to plan your treatment with exceptional precision and gives you a real-time 3D image of your current and projected smile. It’s faster, more comfortable, and more accurate than traditional impressions — part of our commitment to delivering the best orthodontic care to patients in Medina, Plymouth, and the surrounding area.
