Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. This proven method works well for complex cases and all age groups. Our modern, smaller brackets provide comfort while effectively addressing severe misalignments and jaw positioning problems.
Clear Aligners
Custom clear aligners offer a discreet, removable alternative for straightening teeth. Ideal for adults and older teens, these BPA-free plastic trays gradually shift teeth into proper position while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Treatment requires 22+ hours daily wear for optimal results.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth positions after orthodontic treatment. We offer clear Essix retainers, Hawley retainers with metal wires, and fixed bonded options. Proper retainer use prevents teeth from shifting back to original positions, preserving your investment in a straight smile.
Youth Orthodontics
Early intervention orthodontics for children aged 7-10 creates space for permanent teeth and corrects developing bite issues. Treatment continues through adolescence to achieve optimal alignment. We offer metal, ceramic, and clear aligner options tailored to growing smiles and active lifestyles.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic treatment for adults addresses misalignments and bite problems at any age. We offer discreet options like clear aligners and ceramic braces that fit professional lifestyles while correcting dental issues that can cause long-term health problems if left untreated.
