Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using virtually invisible aligners made from SmartTrack material. These removable trays allow for comfortable wear while effectively correcting crossbites, crowding, and spacing issues. Patients visit every six weeks for progress checks.
Braces
Metal and clear braces provide precise tooth movement through brackets and wires. Our practice offers self-ligating options that reduce friction and appointment frequency, with adjustments scheduled every 6-8 weeks.
Orthodontic Emergencies
We address urgent orthodontic issues like broken wires or loose brackets. Patients receive guidance for temporary fixes before in-office repairs, with emergency appointments available when needed.
Invisalign Teen
This specialized Invisalign system includes eruption tabs for growing mouths and compliance indicators to track wear time. Treatment accommodates changing dentition patterns in adolescent patients.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Interceptive orthodontics for ages 7-10 corrects jaw development issues and creates space for permanent teeth. Early intervention often prevents future extractions or surgical procedures.
