Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Ideal for patients of all ages, this method effectively addresses overcrowding, gaps, and complex orthodontic needs. Regular adjustments ensure gradual, precise tooth movement for optimal results.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers nearly invisible, removable aligners for adults seeking discreet teeth straightening. Custom-designed trays gradually shift teeth into position without dietary restrictions or hygiene challenges. This option suits busy professionals and those prioritizing aesthetics during treatment.
Teen Invisalign
Invisalign Teen provides removable aligners tailored for adolescents' orthodontic needs. Designed with compliance indicators and eruption tabs for growing mouths, this solution accommodates active lifestyles while correcting alignment issues without traditional braces' visibility.
Surgical Orthodontics
For severe skeletal discrepancies, surgical orthodontics combines pre- and post-surgical braces or aligners with jaw surgery. This approach corrects functional issues and achieves balanced facial aesthetics for patients with complex bite problems unresponsive to conventional treatment.
Smile Assessment
Our complimentary smile assessment evaluates candidates for braces or Invisalign. During this consultation, Dr. Babb examines dental alignment, discusses treatment goals, and recommends personalized solutions to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
