Services
Clear Aligners
Our custom clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a series of virtually invisible aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Patients appreciate the removable design that allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving straighter smiles through this modern orthodontic solution.
Invisalign Treatment
As a 20-year Gold Plus Invisalign provider, we specialize in this popular clear aligner system for all ages. Our expertise ensures precise treatment planning using digital scanning technology to create customized aligners that address various orthodontic issues. Patients benefit from our experience with complex cases and our commitment to providing the most advanced Invisalign solutions available.
Children's Orthodontics
We offer specialized orthodontic care for children starting around age seven, focusing on early interceptive treatment. Our approach addresses developmental issues through phase 1 treatment using Invisalign First and other techniques to guide jaw growth and tooth eruption. This proactive care often prevents more extensive treatment needs later while building confidence through improved smiles.
Braces
We provide both metal and ceramic braces options for patients requiring comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Our modern braces feature improved designs for greater comfort and efficiency, with metal braces offering durability and cost-effectiveness, while ceramic braces provide enhanced aesthetics through tooth-colored materials that blend with natural smiles.
Virtual Smile Assessment
Our innovative virtual smile assessment allows patients to begin their orthodontic journey from home. Through this convenient service, we evaluate smile concerns and recommend appropriate treatment options without requiring an in-office visit. This technology-driven approach provides immediate access to professional orthodontic guidance while maintaining our high standards of care.
