Braces
Our practice offers a variety of braces tailored to meet your unique orthodontic needs. Traditional metal brackets provide exceptional strength while remaining discreet and comfortable, with customizable colored bands. For adults seeking a subtler look, clear ceramic brackets are available, maintaining clarity with routine adjustments. We also offer advanced wires and aligner options to ensure precise and effective treatment outcomes.
Clear Aligners - Invisalign
Clear Aligner Treatment at our practice emphasizes both aesthetics and functionality. We employ 3D scanning and 3M Clarity Aligners to carefully plan and execute your treatment. Patients receive comprehensive guidance on tray use, and we monitor teeth movement during routine appointments. This method allows us to achieve optimal alignment while accommodating lifestyle preferences and providing professional oversight throughout the process.
Braces for Kids
Early orthodontic assessment is critical for childrens dental health, and our practice provides thorough evaluations to detect emerging issues. By implementing treatments like expanders, braces, and aligners, we ensure proper jaw development and tooth positioning. Our approach prevents severe misalignments, reduces future treatment time, and supports optimal dental and facial growth for lasting results.
Teen Braces
Our teen braces program is designed to optimize orthodontic results during adolescence. With rapid growth and fully erupted permanent teeth, we can correct misalignments efficiently while reducing treatment time and discomfort. By evaluating breathing patterns and muscle function, we ensure comprehensive care that supports healthy facial development and a confident smile that teens will be proud to share.
Adult Braces
Adults choosing braces benefit from more than cosmetic enhancement. At our practice, we deliver personalized orthodontic solutions including metal, ceramic, and clear aligner options. Dr. Carney collaborates with specialists when needed, integrating airway and myofunctional care to optimize results. Each treatment plan is crafted to enhance oral hygiene, jaw alignment, and overall comfort throughout the process.
