Services
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign offers discreet, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Using 3D imaging technology, we create customized aligners that fit snugly and shift teeth into optimal positions. This solution is ideal for patients seeking aesthetic and convenient orthodontic treatment while maintaining oral hygiene.
Pitts21 Self-Ligating Braces
Pitts21 braces use advanced self-ligating technology to reduce treatment time and discomfort. The innovative sliding-door system eliminates elastic ties, allowing for smoother adjustments and fewer office visits. These braces deliver precise tooth movement while maintaining comfort through rounded edges and reduced pressure points.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early treatment addresses developing bite issues and jaw growth in children aged 7-10. By guiding facial development, we can often prevent more complex problems later. This phase focuses on creating proper space for permanent teeth and establishing a balanced bite structure to minimize future orthodontic needs.
Teen Orthodontics
Our teen-focused treatments combine efficiency with aesthetics using Pitts21 braces and clear aligner options. Designed for active lifestyles, these solutions offer faster treatment times and reduced discomfort. We incorporate specialized tools to address common teen concerns like sports-related adjustments and social confidence during treatment.
Adult Orthodontics
Adult treatments prioritize discreet, time-efficient solutions for busy professionals. Using advanced bracket systems and clear aligners, we address alignment issues while accommodating existing dental work. Our approach considers adult-specific factors like gum health and treatment duration, ensuring optimal results with minimal lifestyle disruption.

We have had such an amazing experience at MPowered! We came here at the recommendation of our pediatric dentist and my daughter was feeling pretty anxious about the prospect of having to get braces. Her canine teeth were growing at an angle so we needed some kind of intervention. Dr. Milena was wonderful. Her staff was always so warm, welcoming, and patient with us. They were extremely thorough when explaining what treatment she needed, and all of the follow up appointments were super smooth and easy to schedule after school hours.
The office itself is so inviting and peaceful. Love the decor too! So much positivity. It really warmed my hear to come here. We are coming back here for a consult on my next kiddo, and I would highly recommend this office to anyone whose kiddo needs braces. What a lovely place orthodontic practice!

If you're trying to decide on an orthodontist office, I 100% recommend Dr. Milena and her team. Everyone in the office is so kind, welcoming, and personable. Every appointment was quick and informative, and appointments (both scheduled and emergency ones) were so easy to make. I had such a great experience, I couldn't be happier with my results.
