Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to braces, this treatment corrects mild to moderate misalignments. Aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, ensuring comfort and convenience while delivering precise results over 1224 months.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces address severe orthodontic issues like overcrowding and bite misalignments. Durable and effective, they use brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. Treatment durations vary but typically last 1836 months, ensuring lasting functional and cosmetic improvements.
Pediatric Orthodontics
Early orthodontic care for children guides jaw development and corrects bite issues. Treatments like palatal expanders and interceptive braces prevent future complications. Starting care around age 7 ensures proper spacing for permanent teeth and reduces the need for extractions or surgery later.
Holistic Orthodontics
Holistic orthodontics addresses dental health in the context of overall wellness. This approach considers airway function, TMJ health, and systemic impacts of misalignments. Treatments like myofunctional therapy and biocompatible materials support long-term health alongside aesthetic improvements.
Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery corrects severe jaw discrepancies affecting bite and facial symmetry. Combined with braces, it treats functional issues like sleep apnea and TMJ disorders. This procedure enhances both oral function and facial aesthetics, requiring collaboration between orthodontists and oral surgeons.

Questions
What is holistic orthodontics?
Holistic orthodontics integrates dental health with overall wellness, addressing how misalignments affect breathing, jaw function, and systemic health. Treatments prioritize biocompatible materials and non-invasive methods.
Does Invisalign work for severe misalignments?
Invisalign effectively treats mild to moderate cases. Severe issues like extreme overcrowding or complex bite problems may require traditional braces or surgical intervention for optimal results.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Early assessment allows interceptive treatments to guide jaw growth and prevent future complications.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
Remove aligners when eating and brush teeth before reinserting. Clean aligners with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Avoid hot water to prevent warping and staining.
Are there financing options for orthodontic treatment?
Yes, we offer flexible financing plans and accept insurance. Our team helps patients explore coverage and payment options to make treatment accessible and affordable.
