Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to gradually align teeth. Patients can personalize their treatment with colored elastics. This proven method effectively corrects complex alignment issues while maintaining comfort and durability throughout the treatment process.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made acrylic trays straighten teeth without traditional brackets. Aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, offering discreet treatment options for adults and teens. Weekly aligner changes accelerate treatment while maintaining comfort and aesthetic appeal during the teeth-straightening process.
Two-Phase Treatment
Specialized treatment combining jaw development and teeth alignment for children. Phase one addresses jaw discrepancies to create space for permanent teeth, while phase two ensures proper positioning. This approach prevents future extractions and surgical interventions through timely orthodontic intervention.
iTero Element Scanning
Advanced 3D scanning technology creates precise digital models of teeth for treatment planning. The system visualizes tooth movement and generates customized treatment timelines. This non-invasive method replaces traditional putty impressions with faster, more comfortable digital imaging for accurate orthodontic assessments.
Palatal Expander
Orthodontic device that widens the upper jaw to create space for crowded teeth. Used primarily in children with narrow palates, this treatment improves dental arch development and bite alignment. Early intervention with expanders often prevents permanent tooth extractions in later orthodontic treatment.

Questions
At what age should children first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends evaluation around age seven when permanent teeth begin erupting.
What orthodontic options exist for adults?
We offer clear aligners, ceramic braces, and lingual braces that provide discreet treatment options for adult patients seeking smile improvements.
How does clear aligner treatment work?
Custom trays gradually shift teeth into position using advanced plastics. Patients change aligners weekly with checkups every six weeks for optimal progress monitoring.
What causes the need for two-phase treatment?
Early jaw development issues or severe crowding in children may require interceptive treatment to prevent future extractions or surgical interventions.
How do I maintain oral hygiene with braces?
Specialized flossing tools and interdental brushes help clean around brackets. We provide specific instructions for maintaining dental health during orthodontic treatment.
What emergency care options exist?
We offer prompt assistance for urgent orthodontic issues like broken brackets or wires causing discomfort outside regular appointment times.
