Services
Orthodontic Consultations
Our complimentary initial consultations help determine orthodontic needs through thorough evaluations. Dr. Burns discusses treatment options, duration, and goals while addressing patient questions. This first visit ensures clarity on how to achieve optimal results before beginning any orthodontic care.
Clear Braces
Clear braces use tooth-colored brackets and wires to straighten teeth with minimal visibility. Ideal for teens and adults seeking orthodontic correction without the appearance of traditional metal braces. This treatment improves both aesthetics and dental function effectively.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers removable, invisible aligners for discreet teeth straightening. Custom-designed trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, appealing to adults who prefer aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces while maintaining oral hygiene access.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatments address adult orthodontic needs, combining cosmetic improvements with long-term oral health benefits. Options include clear braces, aligners, and bite correction to enhance smiles and dental functionality for patients over 18 years old.
Functional Jaw Orthopedics
This treatment corrects jaw misalignment issues affecting bite, speech, and appearance. By addressing skeletal discrepancies early, we improve both functional performance and aesthetic outcomes through customized orthopedic appliances and monitoring.
