Services
Braces
Traditional braces offer precise tooth movement for patients seeking durable, effective treatment. Our practice provides multiple bracket options including metal and ceramic systems tailored to individual needs. With expertise in phased treatments for children and comprehensive care for adults, we ensure optimal alignment and bite correction through regular adjustments and personalized care plans.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly for teens and adults. Our doctors create customized digital treatment plans with SmartTrack material for predictable tooth movement. Patients appreciate the convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning while achieving results comparable to traditional braces through this advanced, nearly invisible system.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-10 through an initial phase of expanders or partial braces. The second phase follows during adolescence to complete alignment. Our team focuses on creating proper jaw development and space for permanent teeth, potentially reducing future treatment complexity through this strategic, age-appropriate intervention.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after active orthodontic treatment. We provide both removable clear retainers and fixed lingual wires with personalized instructions for wear duration. Our team emphasizes proper cleaning techniques and regular check-ups to ensure long-term stability of your corrected smile through these essential post-treatment appliances.
Emergency Orthodontics
We offer prompt solutions for orthodontic emergencies including broken brackets, poking wires, or loose appliances. Our team provides after-hours emergency appointments when needed, with same-day adjustments available for critical issues. Patients receive guidance on temporary relief measures while ensuring timely professional care to maintain treatment progress and patient comfort.
