Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet orthodontic solution using custom clear aligners to straighten teeth without metal braces. Patients wear each set for two weeks, removing them only for eating and cleaning. Treatment averages 9-15 months with aligners costing $3,000-$5,000. This method suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces while maintaining oral hygiene easily.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces provide effective tooth alignment for complex cases. Treatment duration varies from 18-24 months depending on severity. Our practice offers silver or clear brackets to suit aesthetic preferences. Braces remain the most cost-effective option for significant bite corrections and severe misalignments.
Orthognathic Surgery
Combines orthodontics with surgical jaw correction for severe bite issues. Treatment involves pre-surgical braces, surgical repositioning, and post-surgical alignment. Ideal for correcting underbites, overbites, and facial asymmetry when braces alone cannot achieve proper alignment and function.
Early Treatment
Specialized care for children aged 7-11 addressing developing bite issues. Includes monitoring growth patterns and interceptive treatments to prevent severe problems. Early intervention can correct crossbites, thumb sucking effects, and spacing issues, potentially reducing future treatment complexity.
Adult Treatment
Custom solutions for mature patients seeking smile improvements. Offers discreet options like clear braces and Invisalign while addressing age-related concerns. Treatment considers existing dental work and gum health, with average durations of 12-36 months depending on individual needs.
