Services
Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Custom-designed using advanced 3D imaging, these clear aligners gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives, Invisalign requires 20-22 hours of daily wear while allowing unrestricted eating and cleaning.
SureSmile Technology
SureSmile combines robotic wire bending with 3D imaging to accelerate orthodontic treatment by up to 30%. This precision technology reduces adjustment visits while enhancing comfort. By creating customized treatment plans, SureSmile ensures efficient tooth movement for both traditional and self-ligating braces.
i-CAT 3D Imaging
i-CAT 3D imaging provides detailed, low-radiation scans of dental structures in 22 seconds. This technology enables accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for complex orthodontic cases. By visualizing teeth, roots, and jaw relationships, we create more effective, personalized treatment strategies.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain the most effective solution for correcting severe misalignments and bite issues. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and lighter wires for improved comfort. Available in customizable colored elastics, these braces deliver reliable results for patients of all ages.
3D Printing
Our 3D printing technology creates precise orthodontic appliances tailored to individual treatment needs. From retainers to surgical guides, this innovation ensures better fit and functionality. The layer-by-layer fabrication process enhances accuracy while reducing production time for critical orthodontic components.

I had my second round of braces with Dr. Marcel surrounding my jaw surgery. Dr. Marcel is the best, and so is his staff. They are always welcoming, and the results are fantastic. I have my smile back! Thanks to the whole team!

Dr. Marcel and his team are awesome! They really go above and beyond for their patients. My treatment included jaw surgery and after my surgery I arrived home to the sweetest gift basket from them, including a hand written note, all the jaw surgery recovery essentials, and more! The whole team is very knowledgeable and professional. They made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process and I knew I was in good hands. It's almost been a year now since I completed my treatment and got my braces off and I am still so excited about my new smile. If you are looking for an orthodontist Dr. Marcel is the one!
