Services
Metal Braces
Our Norris System metal braces combine durability with advanced technology for effective orthodontic treatment. These high-quality brackets use innovative design to reduce adjustment frequency while maintaining consistent tooth movement. The system's precision engineering ensures comfortable wear and efficient correction of complex alignment issues, making them ideal for patients of all ages seeking reliable results.
Clear Aligners
3M Clarity Advanced clear braces offer discreet orthodontic treatment with stain-resistant ceramic brackets that blend with natural teeth. Their compact design and smooth surfaces provide comfort while maintaining effectiveness comparable to traditional metal braces. This aesthetic solution suits image-conscious teens and adults seeking subtle teeth straightening options without compromising treatment quality.
Early Orthodontics
Dr. Guelff's Think 7! Program provides early orthodontic evaluation for children around age 7. This preventive approach identifies potential alignment issues and determines optimal treatment timing. Early intervention can reduce future treatment complexity, minimize tooth extraction needs, and improve self-esteem through timely correction of developing bite problems and alignment concerns.
Digital Scanning
Our iTero digital scanning technology creates precise 3D models of your teeth for accurate treatment planning. This comfortable, impression-free process captures detailed dental anatomy in minutes, allowing better visualization of treatment outcomes. The digital workflow enhances diagnostic accuracy and enables more efficient brace or aligner fabrication for personalized orthodontic care.
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a removable, nearly invisible solution for straightening teeth. Custom-made from medical-grade plastic, these aligners gradually shift teeth into proper position while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment typically lasts 12-18 months with visible improvements appearing within months, making them ideal for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic correction.
