Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses removable clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth and improve bite alignment. Ideal for mild to moderate cases, it offers discretion and convenience, allowing patients to eat and clean teeth freely. Dr. Budd monitors progress closely to ensure optimal outcomes.
Clear Braces
Clear braces provide the effectiveness of traditional metal braces with a more aesthetic appearance. Made from tooth-colored materials, they are ideal for patients seeking less visible orthodontic treatment while achieving precise tooth movement and lasting results.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention guides jaw growth and addresses bite issues in children aged 7-10. This phase creates space for permanent teeth, reduces the need for extractions, and establishes a foundation for healthy, aligned smiles in later treatment stages.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatments for adults, including Invisalign and clear braces, correct misalignments and enhance oral health. Dr. Budd addresses unique adult needs, such as coordinating care with dental specialists, to deliver functional and aesthetic improvements at any age.
Metal Braces
Durable and efficient, metal braces remain a top choice for correcting complex orthodontic issues. They offer precise control over tooth movement and are available in customizable styles, including colored bands, to suit teen and adult preferences.
