Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. These removable, nearly invisible aligners are made from SmartTrack material for comfort and effectiveness. Treatment includes regular checkups every six weeks and digital treatment planning with the iTero scanner to visualize progress.
Empower Self-Ligating Braces
Empower self-ligating braces use clip technology instead of elastic bands for wire attachment. This system reduces friction and allows for quicker adjustments while maintaining comfort. Clear ceramic options are available for patients seeking more aesthetic alternatives to traditional metal braces.
Phase One Treatment
Phase One treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10 to guide jaw development and create space for permanent teeth. This early intervention can prevent more complex problems and may reduce future treatment time with comprehensive orthodontic care.
Digital Impressions
Our iTero digital scanning system creates precise 3D models of teeth and jaws without traditional putty impressions. This technology improves treatment accuracy, allows real-time visualization of dental structures, and enhances patient comfort during the initial consultation and treatment planning stages.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We provide emergency care for orthodontic issues like broken brackets, poking wires, or loose appliances. Our team offers after-hours guidance and immediate assistance to address discomfort and maintain treatment progress for patients with urgent orthodontic needs.
