Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets or wires. This discreet solution works for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to metal braces. The process begins with 3D digital imaging to create a precise treatment plan showing expected tooth movement.
SureSmile Technology
SureSmile combines 3D imaging with robotic wire bending to create customized treatment plans. This technology reduces treatment time by 20-40% compared to traditional braces while maintaining precise tooth movement control. Patients benefit from fewer office visits and enhanced comfort.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention addresses developing bite issues and jaw alignment in children aged 7-10. This two-phase approach creates space for permanent teeth eruption and guides facial development. Treatment may include palatal expanders or other orthopedic appliances to prevent future complications.
TMJ/TMD Treatments
Specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders addresses chronic jaw pain, headaches, and limited jaw movement. Treatment options include custom oral appliances, bite adjustments, and physical therapy referrals to improve joint function and alleviate symptoms.
Orthodontic Appliances
Custom-fabricated appliances address specific orthodontic needs including palatal expansion, tooth positioning, and space maintenance. Devices like rapid palatal expanders and Herbst appliances guide jaw development while 3D-printed bands ensure precise fit and comfort.

I've been working with Dr. Mariana for the last couple of months and my experience has been incredible. I'm using Invisalign and I can already tell the difference from when I started 8 weeks ago. I also appreciate that Dr Mariana is constantly monitoring my progress through the Invisalign app since I live far from the clinic so she schedules me when I truly need it.

I saw Dr. Mariana to get a new invisalign retainer and it was a really easy process. She has a scanner machine that is way better than getting impressions (the goo stuff), and I got the finished retainer in a week! She was super nice and personable and I can see that this is a great for kids, or adults like me. I will definitely be back!

Please note the following review was older review for Dr Max who has since sold his practice and retired and is very missed. The following review not intended or applies to current 2022 owner. Kind staff, extremely gifted orthodontist, We will be moving shortly, but still drive a hour and a half to continue seeing Dr Max for our 4 boys. This place gives amazing smiles to your kids, with skill, and competence is completely worth the drive! Boys say thanks for their grins Dr Max!

For 8 years we've had the pleasure of visiting Dr Max on a monthly basis! 2 kids with 2 phases each gave us a consistent pattern. Everyone has been fabulous from beginning to end! We are in our final months and will miss everyone's beautiful smiles!
