Services
Invisalign treatment
Custom-made Invisalign aligners gradually straighten teeth through precise movements. Patients appreciate the removable, nearly invisible trays that allow unhindered eating and oral hygiene. This FDA-approved system uses 3D imaging to map over 50 treatment stages, providing predictable results for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic correction.
Incognito braces
Incognito appliances offer fully customized lingual braces mounted behind teeth. This patented system provides precise tooth control while maintaining aesthetics, ideal for professionals and musicians. With over 15 years of clinical validation, it addresses complex bite issues while preserving patients' natural smile appearance during treatment.
i-CAT 3D imaging
Our i-CAT FLX system captures high-resolution 3D images in under 20 seconds, reducing radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional CT scans. This technology enables accurate diagnosis of dental anomalies, airway analysis, and precise implant planning, ensuring safer, more effective treatment outcomes through enhanced visualization.
Orthodontic emergencies
We prioritize urgent orthodontic needs with same-day consultations for broken appliances and severe discomfort. Our team provides immediate relief for wire irritations, loose brackets, and trauma-related issues using specialized tools while maintaining treatment progress. Emergency protocols ensure minimal disruption to patients' scheduled treatment timelines.
Phase One treatment
Phase One focuses on correcting jaw development and bite issues in children aged 7-10. Our approach utilizes palatal expanders and functional appliances to create proper arch form, reducing future extraction needs. Treatment typically lasts 12-18 months, establishing a foundation for successful Phase Two alignment once all permanent teeth erupt.
