Services
Invisible Braces
Our invisible braces provide discreet orthodontic treatment using clear plastic aligners. These removable appliances offer comfortable teeth straightening without traditional metal brackets. Patients appreciate easier eating and cleaning compared to conventional braces, though they work best for moderate dental issues. Our practice specializes in ClearCorrect aligners as an alternative to Invisalign.
Traditional Braces
Modern traditional braces offer effective teeth straightening with smaller, less noticeable brackets than older versions. Customizable with colored bands, these durable appliances provide cost-effective treatment for complex orthodontic issues. Our specialists tailor treatment plans to each patient's specific alignment needs and facial structure.
Early Orthodontic Evaluation
We recommend initial orthodontic evaluations by age 7 to identify potential issues early. This preventive approach allows interceptive treatment that can reduce future complexity. Our specialists use Pre-Eruptive Guidance techniques to guide dental development and potentially avoid more extensive treatment later.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Our practice provides same-day emergency appointments for urgent orthodontic issues. Patients receive immediate attention for broken brackets, wire irritation, or other discomforts. We maintain daily availability specifically for emergency cases and provide after-hours contact information for established patients.
Retainers and Follow-Up
We provide custom retainers to maintain treatment results after braces removal. Our follow-up care includes proper retainer maintenance guidance and storage solutions. Patients receive detailed instructions for cleaning and wearing retainers to ensure lasting results from their orthodontic treatment.
