Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces correct misaligned teeth and jaws using brackets, wires, and specialized appliances. Our orthodontists design personalized treatment plans to address overcrowding, spacing, overbites, and other issues. By applying gentle pressure over time, braces improve oral health, functionality, and aesthetics. We offer regular adjustments, dietary guidance, and emergency care, ensuring optimal results for children, teens, and adults seeking durable, long-term solutions.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners provide a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. Using 3D scans, we create custom aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. The treatment includes regular progress checks, new aligner sets every 1-2 weeks, and specialized attachments for complex corrections. Ideal for teens and adults, Invisalign addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues while allowing flexibility for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
Orthodontic Consultation
Our complimentary consultations include a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, and 3D iTero scans to assess dental and jaw alignment. Patients receive a tailored treatment plan outlining options like braces, Invisalign, or phase-one therapy. We discuss timelines, costs, and financing, ensuring transparency. This initial visit builds trust and educates patients on achieving optimal oral health and confidence through customized orthodontic care.
Pediatric Orthodontics
We recommend initial orthodontic evaluations for children around age 7 to detect issues like crossbites, overcrowding, or jaw development problems. Phase-one treatments, such as palate expanders or partial braces, prevent severe issues and reduce future treatment needs. Our Confidence Counts Club offers annual free exams and educational tools, fostering early intervention to ensure healthy smiles that last into adulthood.
Smile Transformations
Our case studies highlight successful treatments for overbites, underbites, spacing, and complex malocclusions using braces, Herbst appliances, or Invisalign. Each transformation takes 12-36 months, depending on severity. Patients report improved confidence, reduced dental pain, and better oral hygiene. Before-and-after visuals demonstrate our commitment to achieving balanced, functional smiles that enhance lifelong dental health and self-esteem.
