Services
Braces
Our Norris System metal braces provide durable, effective orthodontic treatment for complex cases. Designed with advanced bracket technology, these braces ensure efficient tooth movement while minimizing discomfort. Ideal for patients seeking reliable correction of misalignment, our metal braces are crafted from high-quality materials to withstand daily wear and tear. Dr. Guelff tailors each treatment plan to achieve optimal results, combining proven techniques with personalized care for lasting oral health.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made plastic trays, this treatment gradually shifts teeth into alignment while allowing flexibility for daily activities. Patients appreciate the nearly invisible appearance and comfort of Invisalign, making it a popular choice for adults and teens. Our team ensures precise planning and monitoring to deliver effective results in 12-18 months.
Early Orthodontics
The Oh Think 7! Program focuses on early orthodontic intervention for children starting at age seven. This proactive approach addresses potential alignment issues before they become severe, reducing the need for extensive treatment later. By evaluating jaw development and tooth positioning early, we guide proper growth and create space for permanent teeth. Early treatment improves self-esteem and lays the foundation for a healthy, functional bite.
Clear Braces
3M Clarity Advanced clear braces combine aesthetic appeal with effective orthodontic correction. These translucent ceramic brackets blend seamlessly with natural tooth color, offering a discreet alternative to metal braces. Resistant to discoloration and designed for comfort, they are ideal for image-conscious teens and adults. The compact, smooth design minimizes irritation while maintaining the reliability of traditional braces for treating moderate to severe misalignment.
Retainers
Retainers ensure long-term stability after orthodontic treatment by maintaining newly aligned teeth positions. Custom-fitted for comfort, these devices prevent relapse and preserve your investment in a straighter smile. We provide both removable and fixed retainer options, tailored to individual needs and treatment outcomes. Proper retainer use, combined with regular checkups, guarantees lasting results and optimal oral health following braces or aligner therapy.
