Services
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces offer efficient tooth alignment with smaller, more comfortable components. Our durable stainless steel brackets and archwires apply gentle pressure to achieve precise tooth movement. Patients benefit from customizable colored elastics while enjoying the most cost-effective treatment option. With regular adjustments every 4-6 weeks, this proven method delivers reliable results for complex cases requiring significant tooth movement.
Clear Braces
Clear ceramic braces provide aesthetic alternatives to traditional metal braces while maintaining similar effectiveness. These tooth-colored brackets blend naturally with enamel, making them ideal for teens and adults seeking discreet treatment. While requiring similar adjustment periods, they offer enhanced visual appeal without compromising treatment outcomes. Our team provides specialized care to maintain optimal oral hygiene during treatment.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer removable, nearly invisible orthodontic treatment using SmartTrack material technology. Patients appreciate the convenience of eating normally and maintaining regular oral hygiene routines. With weekly aligner changes and bi-monthly checkups, this modern solution effectively treats various alignment issues while fitting seamlessly into busy lifestyles. Our iTero scanner ensures precise digital treatment planning.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach combines jaw development with tooth alignment for optimal facial growth and permanent tooth positioning. Phase one focuses on creating proper space for erupting teeth, while phase two perfects alignment. Early intervention between ages 6-10 can prevent future extractions or surgical needs, ensuring lasting results through comprehensive jaw and tooth development.
Orthodontic Retention
Post-treatment retention ensures lasting results through customized solutions including removable wire retainers and fixed lingual wires. Our team educates patients on proper retainer maintenance and wear schedules. We provide durable Essix aligner-style retainers and permanent options to maintain optimal tooth positioning, preventing relapse while accommodating individual lifestyle needs.
