Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable solution for straightening teeth using custom-made clear aligners. This treatment addresses issues like crowding, gaps, and bite misalignments without traditional braces. Patients appreciate the convenience of removable aligners for eating and cleaning, with treatment typically requiring 12-18 months and checkups every six weeks.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires to correct complex orthodontic issues. They are highly effective for severe misalignments and offer durability with options for colored elastics. Treatment duration varies but averages 18-24 months, with regular adjustments ensuring steady progress toward a straighter smile.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses jaw growth and bite issues in children aged 7-9. This phase creates space for permanent teeth, reducing future extraction needs. Treatments like palatal expanders guide facial development, with Phase One typically lasting 12-18 months to establish a foundation for healthy, lasting alignment.
iTero Lumina Scanning
The iTero Lumina scanner replaces messy putty impressions with fast, precise 3D digital imaging. This technology enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning for braces and aligners. Patients benefit from a comfortable, gag-free experience and real-time visualization of potential post-treatment results using the Invisalign Outcome Simulator.
Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontic treatment corrects misalignments and bite issues to improve oral health and confidence. Options include clear braces, lingual braces, and Invisalign for discreet correction. Treatment considers unique adult needs like gum health and prior dental work, with plans tailored to fit busy lifestyles and professional aesthetics.
