Services
Braces
Braces use gentle pressure to gradually align teeth through customized treatment plans. Our modern braces combine durability with comfort for children, teens, and adults. Advanced bracket systems reduce treatment time while improving aesthetics and functionality for lasting smile transformations.
Clear Aligners
Laster Perfect Smile clear aligners offer discreet tooth straightening with removable, virtually invisible trays. Our in-house system provides cost-effective, customized treatment for all ages using precise 3D technology to achieve optimal alignment and bite correction.
iTero Scanning
iTero intraoral scanners create accurate 3D dental models without messy impressions. This technology enables precise treatment planning and real-time visualization of expected smile outcomes while enhancing patient comfort during orthodontic consultations.
SureSmile Technology
SureSmile enhances aligner treatment with computer-aided design for optimized tooth movement. This system reduces adjustment visits and shortens treatment duration while maintaining personalized care through continuous digital monitoring and precision adjustments.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase orthodontics addresses developing dental issues in children through timed interventions. This approach corrects bite problems and jaw development early, creating space for permanent teeth and reducing future treatment complexity for more stable, lasting results.

Questions
At what age should orthodontic treatment begin?
Orthodontic treatment can start at any age, but the American Association of Orthodontists recommends initial evaluation by age 7 for optimal early intervention opportunities.
Do braces cause discomfort?
Brace placement is painless, though mild soreness may occur for 1-4 days afterward. Lips and cheeks typically adjust to the appliances within 1-2 weeks.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment duration varies by case complexity, but braces gradually move teeth through continuous pressure over periods typically ranging from 12-36 months.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Yes, 20-25% of orthodontic patients are adults. Modern options like clear aligners provide discreet solutions for achieving functional, aesthetic smile improvements at any age.
What technology do you use?
We utilize iTero scanning, SureSmile digital planning, and in-house 3D printing to enhance precision, reduce treatment time, and improve patient comfort.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we provide flexible payment options and financing plans to make orthodontic care accessible while offering a free online payment calculator for initial estimates.
