Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces using custom-made aligners. This treatment gradually straightens teeth without metal brackets, ideal for patients seeking aesthetic and comfortable orthodontic solutions. Griggs Orthodontics provides personalized Invisalign plans for teens and adults.
Clear Braces
Clear braces blend with natural teeth for a less noticeable appearance. Made from stain-resistant ceramic materials, they provide effective alignment for patients prioritizing aesthetics. Griggs Orthodontics ensures durable, comfortable clear braces tailored to individual needs.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment post-braces, preventing shifting. Griggs Orthodontics offers Hawley and Tru-tain retainers, both adjustable and clear options, ensuring long-term results. Proper care guidance is provided to maximize retention success.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery corrects misaligned jaws and teeth for improved function and appearance. Griggs Orthodontics coordinates pre- and post-surgical orthodontics to ensure optimal outcomes. This treatment addresses overcrowding, bite issues, and facial asymmetry for lasting oral health.
Children's Orthodontics
Early orthodontic intervention guides jaw development and prevents future issues. Griggs Orthodontics specializes in pediatric care, offering braces, expanders, and habit correction. Timely treatment ensures proper space for permanent teeth and reduces future complexity.
