Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses virtually invisible, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our practice offers customized treatment plans using 3D imaging technology to map out precise tooth movements. Patients appreciate the comfort and aesthetic benefits of this modern orthodontic solution, which allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines during treatment.
Titanium Braces
Our titanium metal braces feature computer-generated brackets made from high-grade stainless steel. These modern braces combine advanced technology with smaller, more comfortable designs while maintaining exceptional durability. Patients can personalize their treatment with colored elastics, making this option popular for both functional correction and aesthetic expression.
Clarity Advanced
Clarity Advanced ceramic braces offer a discreet orthodontic solution with clear materials that blend naturally with teeth. While requiring careful oral hygiene maintenance, these braces provide excellent aesthetic results, particularly for upper front teeth. Our team provides specialized care to ensure optimal outcomes with this cosmetic-focused treatment option.
Phase I Treatment
This early intervention approach addresses dental and facial development in children. Our practice specializes in dentofacial orthopedics to guide proper jaw growth alongside tooth alignment. Treatment may involve specialized appliances to correct developmental issues before comprehensive orthodontic treatment begins in adolescence.
Surgical Orthodontics
For complex cases involving jaw irregularities, we provide surgical orthodontics to improve function and facial aesthetics. This treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontics with jaw repositioning surgery, followed by final tooth alignment. Our board-certified orthodontist coordinates care to ensure optimal bite function and facial harmony for adult patients with significant jaw discrepancies.
