Services
Braces
We offer traditional metal, clear, and self-ligating braces to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Braces apply steady pressure to gradually shift teeth into optimal positions, improving oral health and aesthetics. Ideal for patients seeking durable, effective solutions for complex dental alignment needs.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable, nearly invisible trays to straighten teeth discreetly. Custom-made aligners are replaced every two weeks, offering comfort and convenience for teens and adults. This system corrects mild to moderate misalignment without affecting daily activities like eating or brushing.
Surgical Orthodontics
Corrective jaw surgery addresses severe skeletal discrepancies impacting bite function and facial symmetry. Combined with orthodontic treatment, it resolves issues like sleep apnea, chewing difficulties, and uneven jaw growth. Dr. Barrett collaborates with oral surgeons to ensure coordinated pre- and post-operative care.
Emergency Care
Our team provides prompt solutions for urgent issues like broken brackets, loose wires, or severe discomfort. We guide patients through temporary fixes and schedule timely appointments to prevent complications, ensuring uninterrupted progress toward treatment goals.
Comprehensive Treatment
This phased approach aligns teeth and corrects bite issues in one stage for patients with fully erupted permanent teeth. Treatment typically spans 12-24 months, utilizing braces or Invisalign to address crowding, spacing, and jaw misalignment holistically.
