Services
Braces
Traditional metal and clear ceramic braces effectively correct complex alignment issues, close gaps, and straighten teeth for adolescents and adults. Our specialists create customized treatment plans using advanced bracket and wire systems. Most patients wear braces for 18-24 months, with regular adjustments ensuring optimal tooth movement and bite correction.
Invisalign
Nearly invisible, removable aligners straighten teeth discreetly for teens and adults. Custom-designed using digital scanning technology, treatment typically lasts 6-18 months. Patients wear each set for one week, removing aligners for meals and oral care while achieving precise tooth movement through sequential tray changes.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers maintain treatment results by preventing teeth from shifting. Options include clear removable retainers and fixed bonded retainers. Patients receive care instructions including nightly wear, proper cleaning techniques, and storage practices to ensure long-term smile stability and retainer durability.
Free Initial Exam
Comprehensive evaluation includes digital X-rays, photos, and personalized treatment planning. Specialists assess dental alignment, discuss smile goals, and recommend appropriate orthodontic solutions during this no-pressure appointment that helps patients understand treatment timelines and financial options.
Early Orthodontics
Specialized care for children aged 7+ addresses developing bite issues and jaw growth concerns. Early intervention creates space for permanent teeth eruption and corrects alignment problems before full orthodontic treatment, potentially reducing future treatment complexity and duration.
