Services
Braces
Our braces treatment utilizes Damon and Speed self-ligating systems to correct tooth alignment more efficiently than traditional methods. These advanced systems reduce treatment time and the number of required visits by up to 40%. Ideal for patients seeking reliable, cost-effective orthodontic solutions, our braces provide precise tooth movement while maintaining comfort throughout the process.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. This option is particularly popular among adults and teens who desire a discreet orthodontic solution. Dr. Cari, an Invisalign Preferred Provider, offers both standard and Teen Invisalign options with specialized features for younger patients.
Propel Accelerated Orthodontics
Propel technology significantly reduces orthodontic treatment duration by stimulating bone production through micro-osteoperforations. This innovative system can cut overall treatment time by up to 50% when combined with braces or Invisalign. As one of the few local providers with extensive Propel experience, we offer this cutting-edge solution to qualified patients seeking faster results.
TADs
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small titanium pins that provide precise tooth movement control during orthodontic treatment. These biocompatible devices enable more predictable and efficient corrections, particularly for complex cases. Our team places TADs with minimal discomfort, ensuring they remain undetectable during treatment while significantly improving orthodontic outcomes.
Orthognathic Surgery
Surgical orthodontics combines orthodontic treatment with corrective jaw surgery to address severe malocclusions and jaw abnormalities. This comprehensive approach treats conditions like extreme overbites, underbites, and jaw misalignment that cannot be resolved through conventional orthodontics alone. Our practice coordinates with oral surgeons to develop integrated treatment plans for optimal functional and aesthetic results.
