Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces correct misalignment issues for patients of all ages. Our practice offers durable stainless steel options and aesthetic tooth-colored ceramic brackets for discreet treatment. Board-certified orthodontists customize treatment plans to address crowding, spacing, overbites, and underbites. With regular adjustments and proper care, braces gradually reposition teeth for improved oral health and appearance. Treatment duration typically ranges from 18-26 months depending on case complexity.
Clear Aligners
Custom clear aligners provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create sequential aligner trays that gently shift teeth into optimal positions. Patients receive new aligners every 1-2 weeks, with treatment typically lasting 6-18 months. Options include Invisalign, Angel Aligners, and SureSmile systems tailored to individual needs while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach addresses orthodontic issues in two stages for optimal results. Phase one focuses on jaw development and creating space for permanent teeth in children aged 6-9. After a resting period, phase two completes alignment using braces or aligners during adolescence. This method prevents future complications, reduces treatment duration, and ensures proper bite development through strategic timing of interventions.
OrthoPulse Therapy
FDA-cleared light therapy that reduces orthodontic treatment time by up to 50% while minimizing discomfort. Patients use the device for 10 minutes daily, applying gentle near-infrared light to stimulate bone remodeling. Compatible with both braces and aligners, this technology decreases soreness by 73% and reduces office visits. Ideal for teens (13+) and adults seeking faster results with enhanced comfort.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. Options include clear Essix trays, traditional Hawley appliances, and bonded lingual wires. Patients receive detailed care instructions for cleaning and proper wear duration, typically 20+ hours daily initially. Our team provides ongoing support to ensure long-term stability of treatment results through regular follow-up appointments and replacement solutions as needed.
