Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use custom-fitted plastic trays to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. This treatment offers discreet correction for adults and responsible teens through removable, comfortable appliances. Our specialists utilize advanced 3D imaging to create precise treatment plans that address spacing, crowding, and bite issues while maintaining oral hygiene.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces provide efficient tooth movement through durable, miniaturized brackets and wires. This proven solution effectively corrects complex alignment issues across all age groups. Our orthodontists customize treatment plans to minimize visibility while maximizing effectiveness through regular adjustments and patient education.
Clear Braces
Clear braces feature tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend with natural teeth while providing effective alignment. This aesthetic alternative combines traditional bracket technology with discreet appearance for older teens and adults. Our specialists ensure optimal placement and maintenance for successful treatment outcomes.
Orthodontic Consultation
Our comprehensive consultations include digital imaging and personalized treatment planning for patients of all ages. Early evaluations identify potential issues while developing treatment timelines. Experienced orthodontists assess individual needs to recommend appropriate interventions, ensuring informed decision-making about orthodontic care.
Financing Options
We offer flexible financing solutions including payment plans, insurance coordination, and family discounts. Our financial specialists work with patients to maximize insurance benefits and create affordable treatment schedules. This commitment ensures quality orthodontic care remains accessible to New Mexico families.
