Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. These removable trays allow for comfortable eating and oral hygiene while effectively correcting misalignment. Patients receive new aligners every 1-2 weeks for progressive tooth movement.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces utilize high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires to precisely align teeth and correct bite issues. Optional colored elastics let patients personalize their appearance during treatment. This proven method remains highly effective for complex orthodontic cases.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw misalignment through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment addresses functional issues like improper bites and jaw abnormalities that cannot be resolved with braces alone. Post-surgical orthodontic adjustments ensure optimal alignment.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7-9 addresses developing bite problems and jaw growth issues. This phase creates space for permanent teeth eruption and reduces future extraction needs. Treatment may include expanders and partial braces for optimal dental development.
Clear Aligners
Custom clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly using a series of removable plastic trays. Our in-office 3D scanning technology creates precise treatment plans with same-day aligner fabrication. Patients wear each set 20-22 hours daily for gradual tooth movement.

Questions
What orthodontic options are available for adults?
We offer discreet solutions like Invisalign clear aligners and ceramic braces that blend with natural teeth. Treatment plans address common adult concerns including crowding and bite correction.
How does early orthodontic treatment benefit children?
Phase One treatment guides jaw development and creates space for permanent teeth, potentially reducing future extraction needs and improving long-term bite function and facial aesthetics.
Can I play sports with braces?
Yes, but we recommend wearing a custom mouthguard to protect your teeth and orthodontic appliances during contact sports activities.
How often are orthodontic adjustment appointments?
Most patients visit every 6-8 weeks for adjustments. Invisalign patients typically require fewer visits with aligner changes monitored between checkups.
