Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. This treatment is ideal for adults and teens seeking discreet orthodontic correction. Our practice offers accelerated treatment options with Acceledent technology to reduce treatment time by up to 50% while maintaining optimal results.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces provide efficient tooth movement for complex orthodontic cases. We offer colored elastics for personalization and utilize self-ligating brackets to reduce friction and appointment frequency. This proven treatment option remains our most popular choice for children and adolescents requiring comprehensive dental alignment.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are custom-fitted orthodontic appliances placed behind the teeth for complete invisibility. Our specialists have over 15 years of experience with Incognito and Harmony systems. This premium option combines aesthetic discretion with precise tooth movement capabilities for demanding adult patients.
Two-Phase Treatment
This specialized approach combines pediatric orthodontics with comprehensive treatment for optimal jaw development. Phase one addresses skeletal discrepancies in children aged 7-10, while phase two focuses on dental alignment during adolescence. Our method reduces future treatment complexity and improves long-term facial aesthetics.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
We provide pre-surgical orthodontic preparation and post-operative care for patients requiring jaw realignment. Our team coordinates with oral surgeons to treat severe bite issues, sleep apnea, and facial asymmetry. This comprehensive approach improves both functional capabilities and facial harmony for patients with complex craniofacial conditions.

My son and daughter have been going to Dr. Garai for 4 years and our experience has been great. The staff are so attentive and pleasant. They worked us in when I had questions or concerns also. They also have an awesome rewards program for kids! My kids didn't mind going to the dentist at all.
