Services
Braces
We offer comprehensive braces treatment for patients of all ages, featuring metal and clear ceramic options. Our self-ligating technology reduces adjustment appointments while maintaining effective tooth movement. The treatment addresses misalignments, bite issues, and spacing problems through customized bracket placement and wire adjustments. Patients receive detailed care instructions to maintain oral hygiene throughout their treatment journey.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. Our iTero scanning technology creates precise digital treatment plans for optimal results. This discreet option suits active lifestyles, allowing removal for eating and cleaning while effectively correcting various alignment issues through sequential aligner changes.
Other Treatments
Our comprehensive care includes mouthguards, retainers, TMJ/TMD treatment, and palatal expanders. These services support long-term dental health and treatment success. Emergency orthodontic care addresses urgent issues outside regular hours, while early intervention treatments guide jaw development for optimal future alignment and bite formation.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Specialized early intervention for children aged 7-10 addresses jaw development and bite issues. This proactive approach creates space for permanent teeth, reduces future treatment complexity, and corrects harmful oral habits. Treatment typically lasts 6-12 months, followed by periodic monitoring until all permanent teeth erupt.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Available 24/7 for urgent orthodontic needs, our emergency services address severe pain, broken appliances, or traumatic dental injuries. Patients receive immediate guidance through our after-hours system, with direct access to treating doctors ensuring timely resolution of critical issues while maintaining treatment progress.
