Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Patients wear each set for 1-2 weeks, removing them for eating and cleaning. Treatment averages 12-24 months with virtual progress tracking. Our certified providers create personalized plans using 3D imaging technology.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces feature smaller, more comfortable brackets with customizable color options. Treatment includes regular adjustments and dietary restrictions to protect the appliances. Average duration varies based on individual correction needs.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen offers removable clear aligners specifically designed for adolescents. Features include eruption tabs for growing teeth and compliance indicators. Allows normal eating habits and easier oral hygiene maintenance during treatment.
Orthodontic Appliances
Specialized appliances like Forsus, Herbst, and Rapid Palatal Expanders correct bite issues and jaw development. These fixed devices address severe cases requiring structural adjustments beyond traditional braces alone.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. Options include removable clear retainers and fixed bonded retainers. We offer a retainer assurance program covering replacements for seven years with proper care.
