Services
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Phase I treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-8, creating space for adult teeth and correcting crossbites, overbites, and crowding. Early intervention prevents severe problems, reducing future treatment complexity. Dr. Ellis uses expanders, braces, and myofunctional therapy for optimal results.
Damon Braces
Damon braces use passive self-ligating technology for faster, more comfortable tooth movement. High-tech wires and friction-free brackets reduce adjustment needs and treatment time, often eliminating extractions or expanders while achieving broad, natural smiles.
Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners by Ormco offer a discreet, removable alternative to braces. Custom-designed trays gradually shift teeth into alignment, ideal for mild to moderate cases. Digital scans ensure precision, and 22-hour daily wear guarantees effective results.
Adult Orthodontics
Dr. Ellis provides tailored orthodontic solutions for adults and seniors, including clear braces and aligners. Treatment improves dental health, corrects bite issues, and enhances confidence, proving its never too late to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Surgical Correction
For severe malocclusions, Dr. Ellis collaborates with oral surgeons to correct jaw alignment issues. This combined approach addresses functional and aesthetic concerns, ensuring optimal bite function and facial harmony through coordinated pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care.
