Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses SmartTrack material and SmartForce features to straighten teeth discreetly. These removable aligners treat crossbites, crowding, and spacing while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene. Weekly aligner changes accelerate treatment, with average cases completing in 12-18 months through precise 3D treatment planning.
In-Ovation Braces
In-Ovation R and C braces employ self-ligating technology without elastic ties, reducing friction and discomfort. Metal brackets offer durability while ceramic options provide aesthetic appeal. This system achieves faster results with fewer adjustments, often completing treatment months sooner than traditional braces through optimized tooth movement mechanics.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces feature tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural teeth for discreet treatment. Ideal for adults and older teens, these braces correct moderate to severe misalignment while maintaining aesthetics. Though more brittle than metal, they offer effective treatment for gapped, crowded, or misaligned teeth without compromising visual appeal.
Temporary Anchorage Devices
TADs are small titanium anchors that provide precise tooth movement control for complex cases. Placed with local anesthesia, these devices enable corrections that traditional braces cannot achieve alone. They facilitate efficient repositioning of teeth and jaws, often reducing overall treatment time while improving final occlusion outcomes.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We provide prompt solutions for orthodontic emergencies including broken brackets, poking wires, and appliance discomfort. Our team offers immediate guidance via phone and same-day appointments when necessary. Patients receive detailed care instructions for temporary relief until professional adjustments can be made to maintain treatment progress.
