Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth. Using SmartTrack material and SmartForce technology, our certified providers create customized treatment plans that address crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Patients benefit from weekly aligner changes and fewer office visits, with treatment typically lasting 12-24 months depending on complexity. The removable nature allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces provide efficient tooth movement for complex orthodontic cases. High-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires deliver precise control over tooth positioning. Patients can personalize their treatment with colored elastics while achieving optimal alignment and bite correction. This proven method remains ideal for comprehensive orthodontic transformations.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7-9 addresses jaw development and bite issues. Our specialists correct underbites, crossbites, and crowding through growth modification techniques. Timely treatment creates space for permanent teeth, potentially reducing future extraction needs. This phase establishes a foundation for optimal dental development and facial symmetry.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic solutions for adults seeking smile improvement. We address tooth movement limitations from fully developed jaws while managing periodontal health considerations. Treatment options include discreet ceramic braces, lingual braces, and Invisalign. Our team understands adult patients' unique needs for efficient, aesthetically pleasing solutions.
Orthodontic Retainers
Custom Vivera retainers maintain treatment results following braces or aligner therapy. These durable, clear retainers preserve tooth positioning while allowing easy removal for eating and cleaning. Our specialists provide comprehensive retention protocols to ensure long-term stability of your newly aligned smile through proper wear and maintenance guidance.
