Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This technology offers faster treatment times with SmartTrack material that improves tooth movement control. Patients appreciate the comfort and convenience of removable trays that allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving professional results.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires for effective tooth alignment. These braces offer precise control over tooth movement with optional colored elastics for personalization. They remain the most common and cost-effective solution for complex orthodontic cases requiring significant tooth movement.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention addresses jaw development and bite issues in children aged 7-9. This phase creates proper space for permanent teeth and guides jaw growth to prevent future extraction needs. Treatment typically lasts 12-18 months before transitioning to Phase Two comprehensive care.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach combines early jaw development with later tooth alignment for optimal results. Phase Two uses full braces or clear aligners after all permanent teeth erupt, ensuring proper tooth positioning that complements facial structure and lasts a lifetime.
Digital Imaging
Our iTero digital impression system and i-CAT 3D imaging provide precise, comfortable diagnostics without traditional molds. These technologies enable accurate treatment planning with detailed visualization of tooth movement and jaw relationships, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient understanding of treatment outcomes.
