Services
Braces
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. Our practice offers metal and clear options for patients seeking discreet or cost-effective solutions. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, with regular adjustments ensuring optimal results. Braces remain a reliable choice for complex orthodontic cases.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-molded clear trays to straighten teeth discreetly. These removable aligners are ideal for professionals or patients prioritizing aesthetics. Treatment requires strict compliance with wear schedules. Dr. Buckman evaluates candidacy to ensure alignment goals are achievable through this method.
Early Interceptive Treatment
Early treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10. This phase corrects bite problems and creates space for permanent teeth. Appliances like expanders or Herbst devices may be used to guide jaw development, potentially reducing future treatment complexity.
Damon System
Damon System braces use a slide mechanism to reduce friction and treatment time. Available in metal and clear options, these braces require fewer adjustments while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The technology promotes cleaner brackets and more comfortable tooth movement.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw discrepancies through coordinated care with oral surgeons. This treatment addresses functional issues like sleep apnea or TMJ disorders alongside aesthetic improvements. Comprehensive planning ensures stable, long-term results for complex cases.
