Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens, it corrects crowding, spacing, and bite issues without metal brackets. Patients appreciate its comfort, convenience, and ability to maintain oral hygiene. Treatment typically lasts 1218 months with checkups every 46 weeks.
Retainers
Retainers preserve post-treatment results, preventing teeth from shifting. Image Orthodontics offers the Retain My Smile Program, providing up to four replacements over 10 years. Clear plastic retainers are durable, easy to maintain, and essential for long-term success after braces or aligners.
Same-Day Braces
Same-day braces allow patients to begin treatment immediately after consultation. Available in traditional metal, clear, or self-ligating options, this service reduces appointments and accelerates results. Ideal for minor to moderate misalignments, it requires good oral health and commitment to follow-up care.
Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces efficiently correct complex alignment and bite issues. Smaller, more comfortable brackets with customizable colored bands appeal to teens and adults. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress, making them a reliable choice for significant orthodontic needs.
ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect aligners offer a discreet alternative to braces, using 3D imaging for personalized treatment. Patients wear each set for 12 weeks, removing them for meals and cleaning. Effective for mild to moderate cases, it combines comfort with aesthetic appeal over a 618 month period.
