Services
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses SmartTrack material aligners to gradually straighten teeth through customized, removable trays. This solution addresses crossbites, crowding, and spacing issues while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Patients receive new aligners weekly with checkups every six weeks for optimal progress tracking.
Clarity Ceramic Brackets
Clarity ceramic brackets offer aesthetic orthodontic treatment with translucent brackets that blend with natural teeth. These durable, stain-resistant brackets provide the same effectiveness as metal braces while maintaining a discreet appearance during treatment for teens and adults.
Empower Self-Ligating Braces
Empower self-ligating braces use clip technology instead of elastic bands to reduce friction and appointment frequency. This system offers faster adjustments and greater comfort through contoured brackets while maintaining precise tooth movement control for efficient treatment.
Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces utilize high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires for effective tooth alignment. Patients can personalize their treatment with colored elastics while benefiting from proven orthodontic technology that delivers reliable results for complex cases.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces provide invisible orthodontic treatment by positioning customized metal brackets behind teeth. This solution suits professionals and musicians needing discreet correction while maintaining full treatment effectiveness through personalized appliance design.
