Services
Braces
We offer traditional metal braces and clear braces for patients seeking effective tooth alignment solutions. Our Pitts 21 System utilizes low-friction technology for more comfortable tooth movement and reduced treatment time. All braces treatments include regular check-ups to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign treatment provides a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made clear aligners. The process begins with digital impressions using iTero scanner technology, followed by a series of removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper position without affecting daily activities.
Early Orthodontic Evaluation
We provide complimentary initial exams for children around age 7 to identify potential dental development issues. Early evaluation helps create less invasive treatment plans and addresses biological, functional, and space issues with teeth and jaw development.
Facial Balance Technology
Our 3D digital imaging technology includes i-Cat Flex Cone Beam Scanner and iTero Element for precise treatment planning. These tools provide detailed facial balance analysis with reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays while eliminating the need for messy impression trays.
Life With Braces Guidance
We offer comprehensive guidance for maintaining oral hygiene and dietary habits during orthodontic treatment. Our team provides specific food recommendations, brushing techniques, and flossing instructions to ensure optimal results and prevent damage to orthodontic appliances.
