Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Dr. Rankie creates 3D digital plans to guide teeth into optimal alignment without traditional braces. Ideal for adults and teens seeking esthetic solutions, this technology offers comfort and convenience with fewer office visits.
Self-ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use advanced bracket systems to move teeth faster with less discomfort. These braces eliminate elastic ties, improving hygiene and reducing adjustment needs. Dr. Rankie employs this technology to address complex crowding without extractions in many cases.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention for children aged six to ten corrects developing bite issues. This phase prevents severe problems later by guiding jaw growth and tooth eruption. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends evaluation by age seven for optimal outcomes.
Complimentary Consultation
Our free initial consultation includes a clinical exam, digital imaging, and personalized treatment discussion. Patients receive detailed diagnostic information and recommendations for braces, Invisalign, or future monitoring to ensure informed decisions about orthodontic care.
Aesthetic Braces
Aesthetic braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets for a discreet appearance. These self-ligating brackets combine the efficiency of modern orthodontics with visual appeal, particularly popular for upper front teeth treatment while maintaining the benefits of traditional braces.
