Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens, it corrects crowding, spacing, and bite issues without metal brackets. Patients wear each set for 1-2 weeks, progressing through a personalized plan. The treatment duration averages 12-18 months, with check-ups every 4-6 weeks. Image Orthodontics, a Top 1% Diamond+ Invisalign Provider, ensures expert care and predictable results.
Same-Day Braces
Same-Day Braces allow patients to begin treatment immediately after consultation. Available in traditional metal, clear, and self-ligating options, they address mild to moderate misalignments. The process includes digital imaging, treatment planning, and brace placement in one visit. Patients benefit from faster results and fewer appointments. Image Orthodontics offers this service across all locations, ensuring convenience and efficiency.
Retainers Program
The Retain My Smile program provides long-term retainer protection for $950-$1,250. It includes up to four replacements per year for 10 years, with no hidden fees. Designed to maintain post-treatment results, the program covers lost or damaged retainers, ensuring continuous care. Patients can opt for a one-time payment or monthly installments. This service guarantees peace of mind and financial savings over time.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to correct complex dental issues. Modern designs are smaller and more comfortable, with optional colorful bands for customization. Treatment duration varies but typically lasts 18-24 months. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress. Image Orthodontics offers this reliable solution for patients seeking durable, effective results.
ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect aligners offer a discreet alternative to braces, treating crowding, gaps, and bite issues. Custom trays are removable, allowing normal eating and oral hygiene. Treatment spans 6-18 months, with aligners replaced every 1-2 weeks. Image Orthodontics uses 3D imaging to map precise tooth movements, ensuring effective and comfortable care for teens and adults.
