Services
Kids Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic care for children starting as early as age 7. Our board-certified orthodontist evaluates developing teeth and jaws to determine optimal treatment timing. Early intervention addresses issues like severe crossbite, crowding, and protruding teeth while promoting proper jaw development. We offer habit appliances to correct thumb sucking and tongue thrusting, ensuring children develop healthy oral patterns for lifelong dental wellness.
Clear Aligners
Discreet orthodontic treatment using removable, transparent aligner trays. This technology gently shifts teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions, the treatment includes customized aligner sets changed every 1-2 weeks. Patients benefit from easier oral hygiene maintenance and fewer office visits compared to traditional braces.
Lingual Braces
Advanced orthodontic solution placed on the back surfaces of teeth for complete invisibility. These custom-fitted braces offer the same effectiveness as traditional braces while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Particularly popular with adult professionals and image-conscious teens, this option requires specialized training and expertise for optimal placement and adjustment.
Teen Braces
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment designed specifically for teenagers. Available in metal, ceramic, and lingual options, these braces address common alignment issues during critical growth periods. The practice offers compliance indicators for clear aligners and colorful elastic options for metal braces, making treatment more engaging for teens while ensuring effective bite correction.
Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Specialized assessment for children around age 7 to identify potential orthodontic concerns. This evaluation monitors jaw development and emerging teeth to determine ideal treatment timing. Early detection allows for more efficient interventions that can prevent complex issues later, often reducing future treatment duration and complexity through strategic growth guidance.
