Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces correct misaligned teeth and jaw issues using durable brackets and wires. Ideal for patients of all ages, this time-tested solution ensures precise tooth movement and improved bite function. Our team customizes treatment plans to address crowding, gaps, and bite irregularities, combining modern technology with proven results for long-term oral health.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses removable, transparent aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Suitable for adults and teens, this option addresses mild to moderate alignment issues without metal brackets. Patients appreciate the flexibility to eat and clean teeth freely, paired with regular check-ins to monitor progress toward a confident, natural-looking smile.
Phase 1 Orthodontics
Phase 1 treatment focuses on guiding jaw development and correcting bite issues in children with mixed baby and permanent teeth. By addressing problems early, we reduce future treatment complexity, ensuring permanent teeth erupt correctly. This proactive approach promotes proper facial symmetry and functional oral health for lasting results.
Orthodontic Emergencies
We provide prompt care for orthodontic emergencies, including broken brackets, wire irritation, or discomfort from appliances. Our team offers immediate guidance over the phone and same-day appointments when needed, ensuring treatment stays on track while alleviating pain and preventing complications during orthodontic care.
Clear/Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces offer a subtle alternative to metal braces, blending with natural tooth color. Effective for correcting alignment issues, these braces are ideal for adults seeking discreet treatment. While similar in function to traditional braces, they require careful maintenance to avoid staining and ensure optimal aesthetic outcomes.
