Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces remain the most effective solution for correcting complex dental misalignments. Our low-profile brackets and advanced archwire technology provide precise tooth movement while minimizing discomfort. Patients benefit from our orthodontists' extensive experience in treating both simple and complex cases, with treatment durations tailored to individual needs. The system's durability makes it ideal for patients requiring significant bite correction or severe misalignment correction.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces using custom-made SmartTrack plastic aligners. Patients appreciate the flexibility to maintain proper oral hygiene and enjoy meals without restrictions. Our iTero digital scanning system creates precise 3D treatment plans, allowing patients to visualize their expected results before starting treatment. This option works particularly well for teens and adults seeking subtle orthodontic correction.
Damon Braces
Damon System braces use a revolutionary slide mechanism to straighten teeth with greater comfort and fewer adjustments. The friction-free design reduces treatment time while creating broader, more natural smiles. Patients benefit from easier cleaning and fewer emergency adjustments due to the system's durable construction. This technology particularly benefits patients requiring significant jaw alignment corrections.
WildSmiles Brackets
WildSmiles offers customizable bracket designs that let patients express their personality during treatment. Available in 25 unique shapes including sports team logos and themed designs, these brackets make orthodontic treatment more engaging for children and teens. The surgical-grade stainless steel construction maintains effectiveness while meeting FDA and ISO quality standards, ensuring safety without compromising results.
Surgical Orthodontics
For severe skeletal discrepancies, our surgical orthodontics combines pre- and post-operative orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery. Digital imaging technology enables precise treatment planning to address functional issues like difficulty chewing, speech impediments, and sleep apnea. This comprehensive approach improves both facial aesthetics and oral functionality, particularly for patients with extreme jaw misalignment unresponsive to conventional treatments.
