Services
Braces
We offer stainless steel and clear porcelain braces tailored to individual needs. These appliances correct alignment issues through precise adjustments, ensuring improved dental function and aesthetics. Our braces combine durability with comfort, supported by digital imaging for accurate treatment planning.
Clear Aligners
Custom clear aligners like Invisalign provide discreet tooth movement. Using 3D modeling, we create sequential trays that gradually reposition teeth without metal brackets. This option suits patients seeking aesthetic alternatives for mild to moderate alignment issues.
Special Needs Orthodontics
Our practice specializes in treating patients with developmental conditions, including Down syndrome and craniofacial disorders. Dr. Stacy's fellowship training and hospital affiliations ensure comprehensive care tailored to unique anatomical and behavioral requirements through coordinated treatment plans.
Multidisciplinary Treatments
For severe jaw discrepancies or craniofacial abnormalities, we collaborate with oral surgeons and specialists. This approach combines orthodontics with surgical interventions and restorative dentistry to achieve optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes for challenging cases.
Digital Imaging
Advanced digital radiography and intraoral scanning replace traditional impressions. These technologies reduce radiation exposure, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and enable virtual treatment simulations for improved patient communication and precise appliance fabrication.
