Services
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using removable, transparent aligners that offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Patients wear each set for two weeks, removing them only for eating and oral hygiene. The treatment averages 6-15 months, with 18-30 aligners per case. Dr. B Smiles uses iTero scanning technology to create precise, customized aligners without messy impressions.
Early Intervention
Early intervention addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7+ to prevent severe problems. Treatments include expanders for crowding, habit appliances for thumb-sucking, and growth modification devices. The Observation Club monitors development at no cost until treatment begins. This approach reduces the need for extractions and improves long-term outcomes through timely care.
Braces
Braces correct tooth alignment using metal or clear brackets connected by wires. Dr. B Smiles offers esthetic clear braces and 3M metal brackets that are smaller and more durable. Patients can personalize colors, and the practice emphasizes non-extraction therapy when possible. Treatment duration varies based on case complexity.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen provides removable aligners for adolescents, featuring compliance tracking and replacement trays for accidental loss. The treatment lasts 6-15 months, with visits every 8-10 weeks. It allows normal eating and oral hygiene while addressing alignment issues discreetly, making it ideal for active teens.
Habit Appliances
Habit appliances address thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting behaviors that affect dental development. Fixed palatal cribs and tongue thrusting appliances are tailored to individual needs. Early intervention prevents misalignment and promotes proper jaw growth, ensuring long-term oral health and reducing future orthodontic complexity.
