Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. These removable trays offer comfort and convenience while providing effective results for adults and teens. Treatment typically lasts 9-15 months with 18-30 aligner sets. Our practice performs more Invisalign treatments than 99% of orthodontists in Minnesota.
Clear Braces
Ceramic braces provide a less visible alternative to metal braces. Made from tooth-colored materials, they blend with natural teeth while offering effective orthodontic correction. These braces require careful maintenance to prevent staining of elastic components.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces offer reliable, cost-effective orthodontic treatment. With smaller brackets and lighter wires, they provide efficient tooth movement for complex cases while allowing customization with colored elastics.
Accelerated Orthodontics
Accelerated orthodontics uses advanced technology like AcceleDent and OrthoPulse to reduce treatment time by 38-50%. These FDA-cleared devices enhance tooth movement through gentle vibrations or light energy stimulation.
Cleft Lip & Palate Treatment
Specialized orthodontic treatment for complex craniofacial conditions. Our team coordinates with specialists to address cleft lip/palate and genetic syndromes through comprehensive, long-term care plans that combine functional and aesthetic considerations.
