Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth. Using custom-made plastic trays, this treatment gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces, Invisalign allows unrestricted eating and oral hygiene while delivering results in as few as 12 months. Our practice ranks among the top 1% of Invisalign providers in North America.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces provide reliable, cost-effective orthodontic treatment for complex cases. High-grade stainless steel brackets and wires apply controlled pressure to move teeth into optimal positions. Suitable for patients of all ages, this time-tested method achieves precise results for severe misalignments, bite issues, and spacing problems. Treatment typically lasts 12-24 months with regular adjustments every 4-6 weeks.
Smile Express
Smile Express combines Invisalign technology with remote monitoring for adults seeking minor corrections. This six-month treatment requires only two office visits, with progress managed through a mobile app. Custom aligners ship directly to patients, who wear them 20-22 hours daily. Ideal for mild crowding or spacing issues, this budget-friendly option costs half as much as traditional braces while maintaining clinical oversight.
Growth Guidance
The Rising Star program provides free orthodontic monitoring for children aged 5-10. Early intervention identifies developing bite issues, breathing problems, and tooth eruption patterns. By addressing concerns like crossbites or thumb-sucking habits during jaw development, we often reduce future treatment complexity. This preventive approach includes educational resources and fun incentives to engage young patients in their oral health journey.
Orthodontic Retainers
Retainers ensure long-term stability after orthodontic treatment. We offer customized removable and fixed options to maintain proper tooth alignment. Our team provides replacement retainers for patients who completed treatment elsewhere, emphasizing the importance of lifelong retention. Follow-up consultations monitor retention success and address any post-treatment concerns, ensuring lasting results from previous braces or aligner therapy.
