Services
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Transform your smile discreetly with Invisalign clear aligners that offer a virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces. These removable, medical-grade plastic aligners gradually shift teeth into proper position without disrupting daily activities. Patients appreciate the comfort, convenience, and ability to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving straighter smiles up to 50% faster than conventional braces.
Custom 3D Braces
Achieve precise orthodontic results with LightForce Custom 3D Braces that use advanced digital technology for personalized treatment. These braces apply targeted forces to move teeth efficiently, reducing treatment time by up to six months compared to traditional metal braces. The customized design enhances comfort while minimizing the need for frequent adjustments, making orthodontic care more convenient for busy patients.
Kids Phase 1 Treatment
Address developing orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10 through Phase 1 Treatment using braces and expanders. This early intervention creates proper jaw development and tooth alignment, preventing future crowding and spacing problems. The treatment typically lasts 6-18 months and helps establish a healthy foundation for permanent teeth while correcting oral habits like thumb sucking.
PassaMonitoring Virtual Care
Experience convenient orthodontic care through our PassaMonitoring system that reduces in-office visits. Patients use the Grin App to scan their smile progress from home, receiving direct feedback from Dr. Passamano. This technology maintains treatment accuracy while saving time, allowing real-time progress tracking and immediate communication with our orthodontic team throughout the treatment process.
Digital Smile Simulation
Visualize your post-treatment smile with our advanced 3D smile simulation technology. Using digital scans, we create accurate predictions of your final results before treatment begins. This innovative tool helps patients understand their treatment journey while enabling precise planning of tooth movements. The iTero digital scanner eliminates traditional impressions, providing immediate visual feedback for better treatment decision-making.
