Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to gradually align teeth. Ideal for correcting complex misalignments, this method offers durability and precise control over tooth movement. Patients can personalize treatment with colored elastics for a fun aesthetic.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable plastic trays to straighten teeth discreetly. This modern solution suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to metal braces while maintaining oral hygiene routines without restrictions.
Retainers
Retainers maintain post-treatment alignment through customized solutions like Hawley retainers or clear aligner-style trays. Fixed options provide permanent stability for high-risk cases, ensuring long-term results after braces removal.
Emergency Repairs
We address urgent issues like broken wires or loose brackets with immediate solutions including wax application, wire trimming, and temporary adjustments to alleviate discomfort until formal repairs can be completed.
Oral Hygiene Guidance
Our team provides specialized brushing and flossing techniques for orthodontic patients, including use of soft-bristle brushes, floss threaders, and saltwater rinses to maintain gum health during treatment.
