Services
Same-day Braces
Same-day braces allow immediate orthodontic treatment initiation through single-visit bracket and wire placement. Our self-ligating braces use clip mechanisms instead of rubber bands for reduced friction, faster adjustments, and improved comfort. Patients benefit from shorter treatment durations (6-24 months) and fewer appointments compared to traditional braces, with options for tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with teeth.
Clear Aligners
Custom 3D-printed clear aligners straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires, offering a virtually invisible solution. Patients receive sequential aligner sets worn 22+ hours daily, changing every 1-2 weeks as teeth shift. Our in-house Advantage Aligners and Invisalign options allow removable wear for eating and cleaning, with treatment monitoring via Dental Monitoring software reducing office visits to biannual checkups.
Orthodontic Evaluation
Comprehensive orthodontic evaluations include digital X-rays, 3D scans, and personalized treatment planning. Our specialists assess bite alignment, tooth positioning, and jaw development to recommend optimal solutions. Virtual or in-person consultations at three Kentucky locations provide detailed treatment timelines, financial options, and immediate initiation possibilities for qualifying patients.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. We offer removable clear retainers and fixed wire options, with our Smile Assurance program providing replacement retainers over five years. Proper retention prevents relapse from natural jaw movement or oral habits, ensuring long-term results from braces or aligner therapy.
Invisalign Treatment
As Gold Tier Invisalign providers, we deliver precision tooth movement using patented SmartTrack material aligners. Treatment involves sequential tray changes every two weeks, guided by 3D treatment planning software. Patients enjoy fewer office visits (every six months) and the convenience of removable aligners for eating and oral hygiene, with average treatment durations of 12-18 months.
