Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This removable system allows normal eating and oral hygiene while gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment. Our specialists use 3-D imaging to map treatment progress and ensure optimal results for teens and adults seeking subtle orthodontic correction.
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces provide effective tooth movement for complex cases. Metal braces offer durability with customizable colored elastics, while clear ceramic options provide aesthetic appeal. Regular adjustments maintain treatment progress, with average appointments every 5-8 weeks for monitoring and wire adjustments.
Interceptive Treatment
This phase addresses orthodontic issues in children with mixed dentition. Treatment creates space for erupting teeth, corrects jaw development, and reduces future complications. Early intervention typically occurs between ages 7-10 to guide facial growth and establish proper dental arch relationships.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatment plans address adult dental concerns using discreet options like Invisalign and ceramic braces. We accommodate professional schedules with flexible appointments while correcting alignment issues that affect oral health and confidence in patients over 18.
Retainers
Custom retention solutions maintain treatment results after braces removal. Options include removable Hawley retainers, clear aligner-style retainers, and bonded wire retainers to preserve proper tooth positioning and prevent relapse of dental alignment.
